Describe the characteristics of magnetism.

Description should include

  • units of magnetic measurement
  • field intensity
  • permeability
  • hysteresis
  • Ohm’s law for magnets
  • comparison of magnetic and electric fields
  • electromagnetism
  • Lenz’s law
  • Faraday’s law.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What are some everyday devices that use magnetism and electromagnetism?
  • How are the characteristics of magnetism demonstrated through the left-hand rule and the right-hand rule?
  • How does Faraday’s law apply to magnetic characteristics?
