Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 5.18 Noncontact Forces Magnetism (State Extension) skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Situation: Two magnets attract from a short distance. Which answer avoids a magnetism misconception?

AGravity and magnetism are the same force with different names.

BA magnet can attract only objects it is already touching.

CAll metals are attracted equally strongly by every magnet.

DThe force is noncontact because the magnets interact before touching.

Solution & Explanation:Magnets attract some materials, especially iron and steel, and magnetic forces can act without contact. The strength of the force depends on material and distance.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Situation: A magnet is used to sort objects in a tray. Which answer avoids a magnetism misconception?

AGravity and magnetism are the same force with different names.

BA magnet can attract only objects it is already touching.

CThe best evidence is whether each object moves toward or sticks to the magnet.

DAll metals are attracted equally strongly by every magnet.

Solution & Explanation:Magnets attract some materials, especially iron and steel, and magnetic forces can act without contact. The strength of the force depends on material and distance.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Situation: A magnet is placed near a glass marble. Which answer avoids a magnetism misconception?

AGravity and magnetism are the same force with different names.

BThe glass marble is not likely to be attracted because glass is not magnetic.

CA magnet can attract only objects it is already touching.

DAll metals are attracted equally strongly by every magnet.

Solution & Explanation:Magnets attract some materials, especially iron and steel, and magnetic forces can act without contact. The strength of the force depends on material and distance.
