Basics of Magnetism North pole, South pole, and magnetic field Magnets and domains How magnets pick things up Wires with current Whiteboard – direction of B field around wire Loops Whiteboard – direction of North pole
2
THE EARTH’S NORTH POLE IS A MAGNETIC SOUTH POLE!
Demo - Magnet in dish on overhead Definition of N and S poles Compass on overhead Finding polarity of a magnet Shocking revelation
4
Magnetic north pole positions of the Earth
Magnetic north pole positions of the Earth. Poles shown are dip poles, defined as positions where the direction of the magnetic field is vertical. Red circles mark magnetic north pole positions as determined by direct observation, blue circles mark positions that have been modelled mathematically.
6
True north (The star symbol in the diagram indicates true north).
For Salt Lake City, declination is currently decreasing at a rate of about 7 minutes of a degree per year. At the bottom of most USGS topographic quadrangle maps is a diagram that shows three north arrows -- true north, grid north, and magnetic north -- and the angles between them. True north (The star symbol in the diagram indicates true north). Magnetic north (MN) shows the direction a magnetic compass would point at the time the map was published. Grid north (GN) The difference between true north and grid north is an inherent effect of transforming the earth's spherical surface to a plane surface.
7
Demo Magnet on pivot There is no magnetic monopole Demo - iron filings
B field is N to S
8
How do magnets pick things up?
Induced magnetism Distance/Force Demo with compass Magnet S N S Induced Magnet Ferrous material (No induced)
9
+ to - Remember electric field Direction of B is from N to S Demo:
Magnaprobe and fixed magnet Remember – B Field Lines: Leave the N pole Enter the S pole Remember electric field + - + to -
10
Magnetic fields encircle wires
Thumb in direction of I, fingers wrap as B (Magnetic field) Demo with Magnaprobe/Giant Solenoid
11
Direction field around wire
Whiteboards Direction field around wire 1 | 2 | 3 | 4
12
Which direction is the magnetic field in front of this wire?
right
13
Which direction is the magnetic field behind this wire?
left
14
Which direction is the magnetic field behind this wire?
up
15
Which direction is the magnetic field around this wire?
16
Loops of wire act as magnets with a N and S pole:
Show with giant solenoid
17
N I S Wrap your Rt. fingers with the current, and your thumb is the N pole, the butt of your hand is the S Pole
18
why an iron core? Demo
19
Whiteboards Direction North Pole 1 | 2 | 3 | 4
