Magnetism Chapter 36
What is a Magnet? Material or object that produces a magnetic field. Two types: Permanent Electromagnet
What causes Magnetism? In order to create a magnetic field, a charged particle must be moving. Moving and spinning electrons cause magnetic fields in every object.
Domains A small region of space where the magnetic fields produced by moving electrons are aligned together. Often, the directions of the domains cancel each other out. Ferromagnetic material Cancellations do not occur, resulting in a net magnetic field
Domains
Magnetism Opposites poles attract Like poles Repel Magnetic Poles can not be separated Every object that has a north pole has a south pole
Magnetism
Magnetic Field Region around a moving charged particle through which a force is exerted on another moving charged particle Similar to Electric Fields
Magnetic Field Lines Lines are not real North South (outside magnet) Can not cross Closer lines mean stronger field
Magnetic Field Lines
Magnetic Field Lines
Magnetic Field Magnetic Field is a region around a moving charged object through which a force is exerted on another moving charged particle Motion of particle must be perpendicular to the magnetic field

Electromagnets Increasing the strength of the electromagnet: Increase Current in wire Increase number of coils Add an iron core
Electromagnetic Induction If charged particle moving through a magnetic field feels a force, shouldn’t a moving magnetic field exert a force on a charged particle?
Electromagnetic Induction A voltage can be “induced” in a wire by moving a magnet near the wire. often a coil of wire is used Faraday’s Law Induced voltage is directly proportional to the number of coils, cross-sectional area of the coils, and rate of change of magnetic field
