Adopted
from
1. Characterize magnetic force.
2. Describe force exerted by magnets.
3. Identify magnetic poles
4. Classify magnetic and non-magnetic force
Effects of Force on Objects
Think of ways on how force can be applied
to change the size or shape of objects.
Choose one from the words below
TEARING, PRESSING, POUNDING,
STRETCHING or SQUEEZING if it can cause
an object to change its size or shape.

magnets?
 MAGNET – is a
material or object
that produces
magnetic field which
are attracted to certain
metal or material.

 MAGNETIC FIELD
- is invisible
- is the area around
a magnet in which
there is magnetic
Adopted

force
 MAGNETIC FORCE
- is the attraction/pull or
repulsion/moving away of
substances made of certain
materials like iron, nickel,
cobalt and steel.
Adopted
from
 The end of the magnet is
called poles. One pole is
called the North Pole and
the other is the South Pole.
A magnet always has both
North and South Pole.
Adopted
from
 FORCE EXERTED BY MAGNETS
If poles are different
(one is a South and
one is a North),
then they will pull
together or attract
Adopted
from each other.
 FORCE EXERTED BY MAGNETS
If poles are the
same (they are
either both South or
North), then they
will push apart or
Adopted
from repel each other.
IMPORTANCE AND USES OF MAGNETS
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI)
- Scanners that use a large
magnet and radio waves to
look at organs and structures
inside our body. It is used to
detect a variety of conditions,
from torn ligaments to tumors.

 IMPORTANCE AND USES OF MAGNETS
SCHOOL BELL
- The bell contains a hammer
which can drop to hit the bell.
But when it drops, it connects
to a circuit, powering an
electromagnet which lifts the
hammer back up again

IMPORTANCE AND USES OF MAGNETS

- There are numerous actual and real-life uses

of magnets. Televisions, radios, electric fan,
audio speakers, refrigerators and many others
have magnets in them.
