7. Magnetism Which direction is the magnetic field?
Where is the magnetic field strongest? S N

8. Magnetic Field Lines
Magnetic field lines show the volume of space around a magnet in which magnetic forces act.

9. Magnetic Field Lines Field Line Rules:
Magnetic field lines of force show:
the shape of the magnetic field.
the direction of the field lines – north to south.
the strength of the magnetic field – closer together = stronger.

14. Objectives
Identify the shape and direction of a magnetic field around a current carrying conductor.
Explain why a current carrying wire in a magnetic field will move.

15. Magnetism Current Carrying Wires:
A current carrying wire will create a magnetic field around it.

17. Making Magnets Magnetism can be induced in magnetic materials by:
Placing them in a magnetic field.
Stroking them with another magnet.
Magnetic materials can be hard or soft:
Magnetically soft materials gain and lose their magnetism easily.
Magnetically hard materials are harder to magnetise, but they retain their magnetism.

No. Of Turns
No. Of Paper Clips
Iron 10 20 30

19. Magnetic Field Strength
Electromagnets can be made stronger by:
Increasing the current.
Increasing the number of coils.
Using an iron core.
Remember the 3 Cs:
Current – Coils - Core

20. Electromagnets

Magnetic Field Around a Coil
Single Coil
Solenoid

22. Solenoids To find the polarity of a solenoid, we use the clock rule.
aNticlockwise = North
clockwiSe = South

23. Magnetism Sequencing Magnets attract or repel other magnets.
Magnets can attract magnetic materials such as nickel, iron, steel, and cobalt.
A magnetically hard material retains its magnetism after it has been magnetised.

24. Magnetism Sequencing
A magnetically soft material loses its magnetism easily after it has been magnetised.
Around every magnet there is a volume of space called a magnetic field.

25. Magnetism Sequencing
Magnetic field lines show three things: the shape of the magnetic field, the direction of the magnetic field, and the strength of the magnetic field.
Magnetic field lines that are closest together are where the field is the strongest.
A current carrying wire will create a magnetic field around it.

26. Magnetism Sequencing
The strength of the magnetic field around a wire can be increased by increasing the current or wrapping the wire into a coil.
The strength of the magnetic field around a solenoid can be increased by increasing the current, increasing the number of turns, or using an iron core.

27. Motor Effect

28. Objectives
Use the left hand rule to predict the direction of the resulting force when a wire carries a current perpendicular to a magnetic field.
Explain how to increase the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field.

29. Force on a Conductor
The force on a current carrying conductor can be increased by:
Increasing the current.
Increasing the strength of the permanent magnets.

33. Loudspeakers Loudspeakers use alternating current.
As the current changes direction, so does the magnetic field around the coil.
This causes the direction of the force (motion) to change.
The continued alternating
motion makes the membrane
move in and out –
making sound waves.

34. Objectives
Recall that a voltage is induced in a conductor when it moves through a magnetic field, or when a magnetic field changes through a coil.
Explain the factors which affect the size of the induced current.

35. Electromagnetic Induction
The direction of the induced current is reversed if…
The wire is moved in the opposite direction.
The field is reversed.
The size of the induced current can be increased by:
Increasing the speed of movement.
Increasing the magnet strength. -1 1 N -2 2 -3 3 S V

36. Electromagnetic Induction
The direction of the induced current is reversed if…
The magnet is moved in the opposite direction.
The other pole is inserted first.
The size of the induced current can be increased by:
Increasing the speed of movement.
Increasing the magnet strength.
Increasing the number of turns on the coil.
