Study Notes
A Brief History of Magnetism
- The first recorded use of a compass dates back to the 13th century BC in China.
- Around 800 BC, the Greeks discovered magnetite, a naturally magnetized iron ore that attracts pieces of iron.
- In 1269, Pierre de Maricourt found that the direction of a needle near a spherical natural magnet formed lines that encircled the sphere and passed through two diametrically opposed points, which he called poles.
- In 1600, William Gilbert expanded experiments with magnetism to various materials and suggested that the Earth itself was a large permanent magnet.
- By 1750, experimenters showed that magnetic poles exert attractive or repulsive forces on each other.
- In 1819, it was discovered that an electric current deflected a compass needle.
- In the 1820s, Faraday and Henry further established connections between electricity and magnetism.
- A changing magnetic field creates an electric field, and a changing electric field produces a magnetic field.
Magnetic Poles
- Every magnet, regardless of its shape, has two poles.
- Like poles (north-north or south-south) repel each other, while unlike poles (north-south) attract each other.
Electromagnetic Induction
- The principle of electromagnetic induction has numerous applications, including:
- Current clamps
- Electric generators
- Electromagnetic forming
- Graphics tablets
- Hall effect sensors
- Induction cooking
- Induction motors
- Induction sealing
- Induction welding
- Inductive charging
- Inductors
- Magnetic flow meters
- Mechanically powered flashlights
- Near-field communications
- Pickups
- Rowland ring
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation
- Transformers
- Wireless energy transfer
Magnetic Field
- A magnetic field is set up around a wire when an electric current passes through it.
- The magnetic field lines around a straight wire are circular and centered on the wire.
- The direction of the magnetic field can be determined using the right-hand rule.
The Motor Effect
- When a current passes through a wire in a magnetic field, a force is exerted on the wire, known as the motor effect.
- The direction of the kinetic movement, field, and current (KFC) can be determined using the left-hand rule.
- The force can be increased by increasing the current or using a stronger magnet.
- The direction of the force can be reversed by reversing the direction of the field or the current.
- The force depends on the angle between the wire and the magnetic field lines.
