MAGNETISM Understand the Attraction!
2
Magnetism Magnetic means the ability to make forces on magnets or other magnetic materials Permanent Magnet Electromagnet Motors
3
Permanent Magnets Material that keeps its magnetic properties Ex: fridge magnets & bar magnets
4
Electromagnets Magnets that are created when there is electric current flowing in a wire Ex: nail, screw, toaster, doorbell
5
Motors Permanent magnets & electromagnets work together to make electric motors & generators Works by changing the direction of electric current
6
Magnetism Based on the alignment of particles in a substance Atoms have moving electrical charges (electrons) –Moving electrical charges produce a magnetic field (Faraday Effect)
7
Magnetism Atoms in a substance behave like little magnets –An area where the particles all have a similar magnetic field is called a Domain Normal substances’ particles are not aligned Aligning these particles will cause an overall magnetic field
