Magnet strength experiments — Homework
Answer using the fair-test ideas from this week's magnet-strength investigation.
- 1.A magnet holds a paperclip through 2 sheets of paper but not through 3. What does this show about magnetic force and distance?
- 2.How could you fairly test which of two magnets is stronger?
- 3.True or false: magnetic force stays exactly the same no matter how far away you move.
- 4.Describe why it would be unfair to test one magnet's strength with a small paperclip and another magnet's strength with a large, heavy paperclip.
- 5.Predict what would happen if you doubled the number of paper sheets between a magnet and a paperclip that was already barely holding on.
