Answer the Following Draw the domain of an unmagnetized bar magnet Draw a magnetic field around a bar magnet Design an experiment which would allow you to see a Magnetic Field What are the two main categories of magnets? What is different about them?
Breaking a magnet Dropping or hitting it hard Heating it up
Magnetic Field Lines Field lines NEVER cross Complete loop from North to South Closer lines- Stronger Force
Biggest Magnet Around Earth Strong magnetic field – so produces magnets from ferromagnetic materials
Magnetic Declination Magnetic poles don’t always stay put Secular Variation- the movement of the magnetic poles over time Magnetic Declination – angle between polar north and south and magnetic north and south
Magnetosphere Solar wind – comes from sun Magnetosphere saves us High speed particles shooting at earth Magnetosphere saves us Van Allen Belts – regions of protons and electrons moving at high speeds, trapped
