4. Magnetism is caused by the movement of positive or negative charges.
An Atom
Atoms have electrically charged particles inside.
The positive particles called PROTONS
ATTRACT the negative ones called ELECTRONS
This force of attraction keeps the electron in orbits around the centre of the atom called the NUCLEUS. +
Magnetism is caused by the movement of positive or negative charges.
Moving Negative electrons in atoms give substances magnetic properties.
Look at the picture which shows the inside of an atom.
Name the main particles which are found in atoms and write down what charge each carries.
Particle name ……………………… Charge it carries……………..
Electrons are negatively charged.
PROTONS are positively charged.
What charge do the neutrons have?
The cluster of particles in the middle of the atom are held together with very strong forces, this cluster is called the NUCLEUS of the atom.
The opposite charges attract each other and this is what keeps the electrons orbiting the nucleus of the atom.
What stops the electrons just flying off and escaping from the atom?
Neutrons have no electrical charge
E J Vine.

5. Neutrons have no electrical charge
An Atom
Atoms have electrically charged particles inside.
The positive particles called PROTONS
ATTRACT the negative ones called ELECTRONS
This force of attraction keeps the electron in orbits around the centre of the atom called the NUCLEUS. +
Orbiting electrons produce tiny magnetic fields.
Any positive or negative particle when moving produces a tiny magnetic field.
Which metal produces the strongest magnetic field when magnetised? (hint. It is used to make magnets)
…………………………………………………………….
Neutrons have no electrical charge
E J Vine.

6. Atomic magnets North South
Iron is the element which produces the strongest magnetic fields
If you could see these tiny atomic magnets you would see that they form magnetic groups called domains.
The domains can be lined up inside an iron or steel bar.
All you need is a magnetic field to line them up.
Electrons circling in atoms make the atoms behave like tiny magnets: This effect is very strong in iron
E J Vine.

7. No magnetic force field
An iron or steel bar which has not been magnetised. S N S N
No magnetic force field
The atomic magnets point at each other N to S and S to N. When they are like this then the magnetic fields effectively cancel and the bar has no external magnetic field.
Atomic Magnets all jumbled pointing at each other: Their fields cancel each other and this iron or steel bar would not be magnetic

TEMPORARY MAGNETS ARE MADE OF IRON :
When the domains are lined up the bar becomes magnetic. The domains in pure iron are easily lined up, iron is easy to magnetise. However, even the warmth of the room gives the domains enough energy to jumble up again and the bar easily looses its magnetic field. N S S N

21. Big Numbers
An electric current in a wire is actually a flow of electrons
1 Amp flowing through a bulb means that
6,250,000,000,000,000,000 electrons
Pass through it every second!!!
1Amp =
6 ¼ million, million, million electrons per second

22. The electrons are produced by a hot wire in a electron gun.
In a hot cathode ray television (CRT) the picture is formed on a screen by
Three beams of electrons striking the screen inside a tube which has all the air removed from it. (a vacuum tube )
