MAGNETISM To attract, or not to attract, that is the question…

What’s a magnet??? •
An object (or device) that gives off a magnetic field
•
Objects which contain iron, cobalt or nickel can be/are attracted by magnets
•
Wires can form a temporary magnet (electromagnet)

Why are some substances magnetic? •
Materials which can become magnetic are made up of regions called domains.
•
More domains becoming aligned = stronger the magnet
•
Align domains= place material inside an existing magnetic field

Did you know? The Earth is technically a big magnet! Recall that the Earth’s core is iron…and that iron is ferromagnetic! The geomagnetic field is actually extremely important in deflecting solar winds (which carry UV rays). Without it, solar winds would blow away the ozone layer

Types of Magnets 1.
Permanent magnets: Materials that are naturally magnetic → magnetite
2.
Ferromagnetic: Materials made from Iron (Fe), Nickle (Ni), Cobalt (Co) or an alloy of these materials which can become magnetic. They retain magnetic properties while under the presence of a magnetic field
3.
Electromagnet: Temporary magnets caused by a live current
Permanent Magnet Magnetite attracting pieces of iron

Magnetic Forces of Attraction and Repulsion •
There are two poles on a magnet: North and South •
•
North pole = End of magnetic that turns towards geographic North
Opposite poles attract, like poles repel!
Magnetic Forces of Attraction and Repulsion •
Opposite poles attract, like poles repel!

Magnetic Forces of Attraction and Repulsion •
Force of attraction or repulsion = magnetic force
•
Magnetic field = area of space where magnetic force of one magnet can act on another
•
Magnetic field lines leave the north pole and come towards the south pole •
Field lines do not cross one another

Electromagnetism •
Phenomena from the interaction of electricity and magnetism
•
Dynamic electricity produces temporary magnetic fields • •
•
Current flowing = magnetic field No current = no field
