What is Magnetism. From Ms. Schlott at http://www. teachers. eischools Hmmm…
Magnetism A force of attraction and repulsion
Poles of a Magnet Law of Magnetic Poles North and South Area where the magnetic force is the strongest North and South (N & S) Law of Magnetic Poles Opposites attract & Likes repel Poles CANNOT be separated!!!
Magnetic Field A region around a magnet where the force is the strongest N S The strength of the field decreases as the distance from the field increases.
Magnetic Domains NOT A MAGNET!!! When all of the domains are lined up, the object becomes magnetized
Demagnetizing a Magnet A magnet is no longer a magnet The domains are not lined up anymore Ways to Demagnetize a Magnet 1) Heating 2) Dropping 3) Other Strong Impact
