1. Magnetism

2. Magnetic materials All magnets have a North pole and a South pole.
Just like electric charges, like poles repel and opposite poles attract.

3. Remember playing with magnets as a kid?

4. Even breaking a magnet into smaller pieces doesn’t remove the two poles.

5. Magnets produce magnetic fields

6. How to draw magnetic field lines
Magnetic field lines are always drawn outward from the North pole and inward to the South pole.
The magnetic field is strongest where the field lines are closest together.

7. Similar to electric field lines!

8. So how do paper clips stick to a magnet?

9. The Earth even has a magnetic field!
In response to the Earth's magnetic field, the compass will point toward the geographic North Pole of the Earth because it is in fact a magnetic south pole. The magnetic field lines of the Earth enter the Earth near the geographic North Pole.

10. Applications of Magnetism
Compasses
CD and DVD files
Audio and video cassette recording
MRI scans
Aurora borealis
Homing pigeons (what?!)
Electric generators
Transformers

11. Some of those applications are related to electricity – why are they here?
Hans Christian Oersted discovered that an electric current produces a magnetic field.
1st right hand rule
Michael Faraday proved the reverse to be true; that a magnetic field produces an electric current (induction)

12. EMF
Electromagnetic induction is the generation of an electromotive force (EMF) in a conductor when it’s exposed to a magnetic field.
Measured in volts (J/C) so it’s the same as potential difference!
Faraday’s Law
Useful in generators and transformers

13. 1st right hand rule magnetic field around a current-carrying wire

14. 1st right hand rule magnetic field around a current-carrying wire

15. 2nd right hand rule direction of field around a solenoid (wire coil)

16. 2nd right hand rule direction of field around an electromagnet or solenoid

17. Relationships
The higher the current (I), the stronger the magnetic field.
The higher the number of turns (N) in the electromagnet, the stronger the magnetic field.
The voltage is proportional to the number of loops
