In hospitals in front of MRI scanners For cleaning up toys For holding photos For closing bags
What happens when you make a magnet very hot?
He loses his magnetism He is getting stronger He changes colour He gets bigger
Can magnets work through water?
Yes, water does not stop magnetism No, water destroys magnetism Only in warm water Only in cold water
What happens to iron filings when you hold a magnet under them?
It forms lines from one pole to another It melts It changes colour It disappears
What is a horseshoe magnet?
A magnet in the shape of a horseshoe A magnet made from horseshoes A magnet for horses A magnet that brings luck
What colour do magnets usually have?
Red and blue or black Always gold and silver Always green and yellow Always white and black
What happens to the magnetic force if you hold the magnet further away?
The power gets weaker Power gets stronger The power remains the same Power disappears altogether
What is the invisible force around a magnet?
Magnetic field Magnetic wind Magnetic beam Magnetic fog
Create a magnetism treasure hunt for Ages 9-10
Why is magnetism important for generating electricity?
Moving magnets can generate electricity Magnets contain electricity Magnets are made of electricity Magnets eat electricity
Which device uses magnetism to make sound?
Speaker Lamp Fan Computer
Why can you use a magnet to attract a paperclip?
Because paper clips are made of iron Because paperclips are small Because paper clips are bent Because paperclips are shiny
What is the name of the area around a magnet where the magnetic force acts?
Magnetic field Magnetic zone Magnetic circle Magnetic space
What is the name for materials that are strongly attracted by magnets?
Ferromagnetic materials Plastic materials Wooden materials Glass materials

Because the refrigerator is made of steel (iron) Because the fridge is cold Because the fridge uses electricity Because the fridge is white
Create a magnetism treasure hunt for Ages 11-12
What happens to a magnetic field when current is reversed through an electromagnet?
North and south poles switch places The magnetic field disappears The magnetic field becomes stronger Nothing happens
What is a Hall-effect sensor?
A device that generates voltage at magnetic fields A temperature sensor A light sensor A pressure sensor
What is superconductivity in relation to magnetism?
Complete exclusion of magnetic fields Reinforcement of magnetic fields Permanent magnetisation Uncontrolled magnetic fluctuations
What unit is used for magnetic flux?

Right hand rule Left hand rule Ohm's law Kirchhoff's law
What happens to the magnetic field strength when the distance to a straight current-carrying conductor doubles?
It will be halved It gets four times smaller It remains the same It is doubled
What effect causes a rotating charged disk to behave like a magnet?
Gyromagnetic effect Piezoelectric effect Thermoelectric effect Photoelectric effect
The direction of the magnetic field around a straight current-carrying wire is given by:
The right hand rule: thumb in flow direction, fingers point to B-field Field lines parallel to the wire Field lines radially away from the wire The left-hand rule for all cases
