I. Basic Concept:

Magnets have an invincible magnetic field. It will not attract all kinds of
metals.
Only objects made of iron, cobalt and nickel will be attracted to
magnets.

There are several types of magnets like ring magnets, rectangular magnets,
horseshoe magnets and bar magnets.

The ends of the magnets are called poles. One pole is called north
pole (N), the other is south pole (S). A magnet has
always both north pole and south pole though you break it. So, when we
cut a magnet into two parts, two new magnets are formed each with a
north pole and a south pole (magnetic dipole).
Q3 EPISODE 2

• When the poles of the two magnets are placed near each other, they
have a force that will either pull them together or push them apart.
The push and pull of a magnet is called magnetic force.

● If the poles of a magnet are different and placed near each other,
then they will be pulled together or will attract each other. Thus, a nearby
south pole and a north pole will result to attraction (unlike poles attract).

● If the poles of a magnet are the same and placed near each other,
then they will be pushed away or will repel each other. Either both south
poles or both north poles will result to repulsion (like poles repel).

Remember:

• unlike poles attract

• like poles repel

ACTIVITY SHEET
I. Task:
A. Direction: Complete the following statement. Choose your answers
from the box.

Iron cobalt rectangular Magnet two

ring Horseshoe repel nickel attract

A _______________ can pull objects from a distance. These objects are

metal and are made up of either ______________, _____________, or
___________. A magnet comes in different shapes such as ______________,
_______________, and ______________. A magnet always has _________
poles however you break it. Two intersecting magnets will ___________
when two unlike poles are brought closer together. While two like poles
are brought closer, the magnets will ________________ each other.

B. Direction: Write TRUE if the statement shows the characteristics of

magnet/magnetic force, FALSE if it does not. Write your answer on the
line.

1. Opposite poles of two magnets attract each other. ________________

2. The pulling or pushing force is strongest at the North Pole of the
magnet. _________________
3. If you break a magnet into two pieces, you will have two magnets with
two North poles (N-N). _________________
4. If the poles of a magnet are the same and placed near each other,
then they will repel each other____________
5. The force of attraction of a magnet is greater in the middle than at its
poles. __________________
