Study Notes
William Gilbert's Contributions
- Summarized the concept of magnetism in his volume De Magnete
Early Understanding of Electric Charges
- Early scientists described the two types of electric charges as vitreous (like glass) and resinous (like resin)
Magnetic Field Visualization
- Iron filings sprinkled on bond paper form lines, known as magnetic field lines
Charge Interactions
- Like charges repel each other
- Unlike charges attract each other
Electric and Magnetic Forces
- Forces set up by charged objects are called electric forces
- Forces set up by magnets are called magnetic forces
Early Thinkers on Electricity and Magnetism
- Early scientists believed electricity and magnetism might be related
Magnetic Field Strength
- When magnetic field lines are close together, the magnetic field strength increases
Magnetic Materials
- Ferromagnetic materials (e.g., iron) experience a magnetic force towards a region of stronger magnetic field
- Paramagnetic materials (e.g., aluminum, platinum, manganese) are slightly attracted by magnets
- Diamagnetic materials (e.g., copper, silver, gold) are weakly repelled by magnets
Hans Christian Oersted's Discovery
- Discovered that a current-carrying wire produces a magnetic field
Ferromagnetic Materials
- When put in a strong magnetic field, the domains in ferromagnetic materials align, causing magnetization
- Stroking a nail against a magnet magnetizes the nail
Magnetic Force and Distance
- When two magnets are moved close to each other, the magnetic force between them increases
Diamagnetic Materials in a Magnetic Field
- When placed in a magnetic field, diamagnetic materials are weakly repelled
Domain Alignment
- A group of atoms in ferromagnetic materials with their magnetic fields pointing in the same direction is called a domain
