Magnets, Magnetism & Electromagnetism
2
Magnets and Magnetic Fields
Magnets can be classified as ferromagnets, electromagnets, temporary magnets, and permanent magnets. A material is magnetic if its domains line up Magnetic materials include iron, nickel, and cobalt Every magnet is surrounded by a magnetic field. The shape of the field can be shown with magnetic field lines.
4
PERMANENT ELECTROMAGNET TEMPORARY FERROMAGNET
5
Domains – regions of aligned electron spins
6
Making Magnet Need a ferromagnetic material Need to align the domains
Can be done with electricity Can be done with the force field of another magnet
7
Ferromagnetic Materials
8
Magnetic Field – Lines of Force
9
Magnets and Magnetic Poles
All magnets have two poles. The north pole will always point to the north if allowed to rotate freely. The other pole is called the south pole. Like magnetic poles repel each other. Opposite magnetic poles attract.
11
Lines of Force – Attracting Magnets
12
Lines of Force – Repelling Magnets
13
Electromagnetism Pushing a magnet through a coil of wires generates electric current
14
This coil of wires is called a SOLENOID
Electromagnetism Flowing electricity creates a magnetic force field This coil of wires is called a SOLENOID
15
Electromagnetism Add an iron core and you create an electromagnet
16
Advantages of Electromagnets
Can be turned off and on Can be made stronger Polarity can be reversed
