Question

It has been asserted that a permanent magnet is really just made up of an insulator with fixed positive electrical charges permanently embedded in the north pole of the magnet and fixed negative electrical charges permanently embedded in the south pole of the magnet.

a) Do you believe this assertion? Why?

b) Name three observations you made in Unit 26 that would provide support for or evidence against this assertion. Cite Activity numbers and explain how each observation supports your conclusion.

Explanation / Answer

A) No because static charges do not create a magnetic field or a magnetic monopole.

the charge needs to be moving for the same. therefore the above assertion is not feasible.
