Forces Crossword

2. Imaginary lines that show the direction and strength of a magnetic or electric field; closer lines mean a stronger field.
3. A tiny, positively charged particle found in the nucleus of an atom.
5. A subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom that has no electric charge.
6. An object that can attract certain metals like iron.
12. When two lines or directions meet at a right angle (90 degrees).
13. The force experienced by a moving electric charge in a magnetic field.
17. A temporary magnet created when electric current flows through a wire wrapped around a metal core.
19. A tiny, negatively charged particle that orbits around the nucleus of an atom.
20. When a material becomes a magnet because it's close to another magnet.

1. A temporary, invisible particle that acts as a messenger to carry the electromagnetic force between charged particles. Not directly observable, but plays a crucial role in interactions like the repulsion or attraction between electric charges.
4. The invisible area around a magnet where it can pull or push certain metals (B-field).
7. The flow of electric charges through a material, like electricity moving through a wire.
8. The speed of something in a specific direction.
9. A quantity that has both size and direction, like an arrow showing how strong a force is and where it's going.
10. (North and South) The two ends of a magnet where the magnetic force is the strongest; opposites attract, and like repel.
11. A material, like iron, that is strongly attracted to a magnet and can easily be magnetized.
14. A state of balance where opposing forces acting on an object cancel each other out, resulting in no net change or movement.
15. A method using your right hand to determine the direction of magnetic force: point your thumb in the direction of current, and your fingers show the direction of the magnetic field.
16. A force that acts on an object without physical contact, like gravity or magnetism.
18. The push or pull that a magnet applies to certain metals or other magnets.
