Grade 8 field forces act at a distance: gravity, electrostatic force, and magnetism. Students relate mass to gravitational weight, use charge rules (like charges repel), and describe how a current-carrying coil becomes an electromagnet. Earth's magnetic field is why a compass needle lines up roughly north-south.

What you practice

These are the Grade 8 Forces at a Distance skills this quiz is built around.

Distinguish mass from weight and identify gravity as an attractive force between masses.
Predict attraction or repulsion between two charges or two magnetic poles.
Explain how an electromagnet's field depends on current and coil turns.

A useful tip

Weight is the gravitational force on a mass and changes with location; mass does not. A 2 kg object still has 2 kg of mass on the Moon even though it weighs less.
