1
Magnetism The shadow of electricity
2
Magnetic Force Magnets apply forces to each other. Opposite poles attract, like poles repel.
3
CPS Question The magnitude of the force between magnetic poles A.is the same at all distances. B.becomes stronger as the poles come closer. C.becomes weaker as the poles come closer.
4
Magnetic Field Lines Field lines point from North to South pole. Conventions as with electric field lines. strong field where lines are close together direction is direction of force on a north pole
5
Group Work 1.What happens to a dipole magnet in a uniform magnetic field? B N S
6
Naming the poles N = north- seeking Earth’s north pole is a south pole!
7
Current Creates Magnetism An electric current creates a magnetic field. Look, Ma! No poles!
8
Vector Direction Conventions UpDown InOut RightLeft
9
Poll Question If a wire in front of you carries a current from left to right, what is the direction of the resulting magnetic field where you are? I A. B. C. D. E.F.
10
Board Work An electric current creates a magnetic field whose lines circle right-handed around it. Draw lines for the magnetic field created by a ring of current. I
11
Magnetic Field of Current Ring Source: Griffith, The Physics of Everyday Phenomena N S dipole field
12
Solenoid Magnetic Field Source: Griffith, The Physics of Everyday Phenomena NS
13
Electrons are Magnets! spin
14
Electrons are Magnets! current
15
Electrons are Magnets! magnetic field
16
Electrons are Magnets! N S magnetic dipole
17
Types of Magnets Electromagnets –currents travel through conducting coils Permanent Magnets –materials whose electrons have aligned spins or orbits Moving charges create the fields!
