Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Electric and Magnetic Forces. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
The magnetic force is a non-contact force.
Like electric charges will repel each other.
Electric charges within a neutral object can be induced into moving from one location to another by bringing an external charged object near the neutral object.
The shorter the distance between magnets, the greater the magnetic force between them.
When the number of positive and negative electric charges within an object are equal, the object has no electric charge.
The greater the strength of the magnets, the greater the strength of the magnetic force between them.
The shorter the distance between electric charges, the greater the strength of the electric force between them.
Electric force is the force of attraction or repulsion between charged particles.
Every magnetized material has a north and south magnetic pole.
The electric force is a non-contact force.
Opposite electric charges will attract each other.
Like magnetic poles will repel one another.
When positive and negative charges are separated in different locations within an object, the object is polarized.
Magnetic force is the force of attraction and repulsion between two magnetized objects.
Opposite magnetic poles will attract one another.
The greater the magnitude of the electric charge, the greater the strength of the electric force between charges.
Protons have a positive charge and electrons have a negative charge.
Electrons flow freely from one particle to another through a conducting material.
Insulating materials prevent the flow of electrons throughout the material.
