Quarter 3 – Module 2:
Magnetic Force
What I Need to Know

In this module, you will familiarize of the different


characteristics of magnets. But do you know that these magnets
play important roles in our daily lives? Magnets have been proving
its worth every day with its function by making difficult tasks
easier. Magnets also play an important role in various devices we
use at home. Series of activities were provided that can help you
attain your learning targets. Please be guided by the instructions
in each activity.

The lesson will focus on:

● Lesson 1 – Characterize magnetic force (S4FE-III d-e-3)

After going through this, you are expected to be able to:

1. determine if an object is magnetic or non-magnetic;


2. identify the types of a magnet; and
3. characterize magnetic force.

characteristics of magnets and magnetic force.

7 CO_Q3_Science 4_ Module 2
What is It

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

iron cobalt nickel

● There are several types of magnets like ring magnets,


rectangular magnets, horseshoe magnets and bar magnets.

ring magnet horseshoe magnet

rectangular magnet bar magnet

● 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).

8 CO_Q3_Science 4_ Module 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 the magnetic force.

● 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).

● 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).

● The force of attraction of a magnet is greater at its poles than


in the middle.

● The following illustrations shows the


north and south poles of magnets
attracting metallic objects.
● The magnetic field is the area around
the magnet where the magnetic force
of attraction or repulsion exists. It is strongest near the poles
and its strength decreases with distance.

Good job! I hope you got all the concepts. You may
now proceed to the next activities. Good luck!
