Show Answer Key & Explanations Step-by-step solution for: Magnetism Worksheets Reviewed by Teachers
Here's the completed solution for both sections C and D, with explanations.

---

Section C: Fill in the blanks



Words to choose from:
iron, unlike, Lodestone, nickel, like, repel, end, steel, North-South, attract, cobalt

---

1. Magnets are made from _________.

Lodestone

*Explanation:* Lodestone is a naturally occurring magnetic mineral (a form of magnetite). Historically, it was the first known magnet. While modern magnets are often made from alloys (like neodymium or ferrite), lodestone is the classic natural magnet referenced in basic science education.

---

2. Not all metals are magnetic. Some metals that can attract to magnet are ________, ________, ________, ________.

iron, nickel, cobalt, steel

*Explanation:* These are the main ferromagnetic materials — they are strongly attracted to magnets. Steel is an alloy primarily made of iron, so it’s also magnetic. Note: “steel” is included because it’s commonly used and magnetic (unless it’s stainless steel of certain types).

---

3. When a magnet is hung freely and come to rest (stop moving) it will point to the _________ direction.

North-South

*Explanation:* A freely suspended magnet aligns itself with Earth’s magnetic field — its north pole points toward Earth’s magnetic north (which is near geographic south, but we call it “north-seeking”). So, it points in the North-South direction.

---

4. When two _________ poles are brought together, they push each other away. They will _________ each other.

like, repel

*Explanation:* Like poles (N-N or S-S) repel each other. This is a fundamental law of magnetism.

---

5. When two _________ poles are brought together, they pull each other together. They will _________ each other.

unlike, attract

*Explanation:* Unlike poles (N-S) attract each other. Opposite poles attract — this is the other fundamental law of magnetism.

---

6. The strongest part of a magnet is at the _________ of both poles.

end

*Explanation:* Magnetic field lines are densest at the poles (ends) of a bar magnet, which means the magnetic force is strongest there.

Section D: Match the images to the correct term



Image i: Shows a hand wrapping wire around a nail connected to a battery → this creates an electromagnet.

Electromagnet

*Explanation:* When electric current flows through a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core (like a nail), it generates a magnetic field — this is called an electromagnet. It’s temporary and only works when current flows.

Image ii: Shows a magnet being rotated near a compass or another magnet, causing movement → this demonstrates magnetic attraction/repulsion or simply magnetism in action, but since the question asks for a single word from the list above... wait, there is no word list provided for Section D.

Looking back — Section D says “Fill in the blanks by dragging the word and drop it into the correct box.” But no word bank is given for Section D in the image. However, based on common educational worksheets and the context:

- Image i → Electromagnet
- Image ii → Magnetism or Repel/Attract — but since those words were already used in Section C, and “electromagnet” isn’t in Section C’s word bank, it’s likely Section D expects you to use your own knowledge.

But since the instructions say “dragging the word,” and no new word bank is shown, perhaps the worksheet intends for you to use words from Section C — but none fit perfectly.

Wait — looking again at the image: Section D has two boxes under images i and ii, and the worksheet is from LiveWorksheets, which may have interactive drag-and-drop elements not visible here.

Given standard curriculum:

i. Electromagnet
ii. Magnetism (or Attraction/Repulsion)

But since “electromagnet” is not in the original word bank, and the instruction says “dragging the word” — perhaps it’s a mistake, or maybe the word bank for D is implied to include “electromagnet” and “magnetism.”

Alternatively, if forced to use ONLY words from Section C’s word bank:

- Image i: Could be labeled iron (since the nail is iron) — but that’s inaccurate.
- Image ii: Could be repel or attract — but the arrows show rotation, not direct repulsion.

➡️ Best logical answer (even if not in word bank):

i. Electromagnet
ii. Magnetism

However, since this is a fill-in-the-blank exercise using drag-and-drop, and assuming the worksheet allows adding terms beyond the initial bank (as sometimes happens in LiveWorksheets), we’ll go with the scientifically accurate labels.

## Final Answers:

Section C:



1. Lodestone
2. iron, nickel, cobalt, steel
3. North-South
4. like, repel
5. unlike, attract
6. end

Section D:



i. Electromagnet
ii. Magnetism *(or "Repel/Attract" if forced to pick from Section C — but "repel" fits if arrows indicate pushing apart)*

⚠️ *Note: If the system requires ONLY words from Section C’s word bank, then for ii, you might choose repel (if the motion implies repulsion) or attract — but the diagram shows circular motion, suggesting interaction, not direct push/pull. Without more context, “repel” or “attract” are guesses.*

But since the arrows in image ii show a magnet rotating near another object (possibly a compass needle), it’s demonstrating magnetic interaction, so “attract” or “repel” could work depending on pole orientation.

➡️ Safe choice for ii (using Section C words): repel — if the green arrows imply the magnet is being pushed away in rotation.

## 📌 Final Answer Summary:

C.


1. Lodestone
2. iron, nickel, cobalt, steel
3. North-South
4. like, repel
5. unlike, attract
6. end

D.


i. Electromagnet
ii. Repel *(assuming the rotation indicates repulsive force)*

*(If “electromagnet” is not accepted, try “iron” for i — though less accurate.)*
