Study Notes
Introduction to Electromagnetism
- Electromagnetism is the force exerted between electrically charged particles.
- Magnetic forces are a type of non-contact force.
- Ferromagnetic elements are materials strongly attracted to magnets. This includes iron, nickel, and cobalt.
- A magnetic domain is a region within a magnetic material where the magnetic fields are aligned.
- Magnetic field strength, measured in Tesla (T), describes the strength of a magnetic field.
- A compass magnetic needle aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field.
- Magnetic materials are attracted to magnets.
- Non-magnetic materials are not attracted to magnets.
- Permanent magnets retain their magnetism even when not in an external magnetic field.
- Temporary magnets lose their magnetism when the external magnetic field is removed.
- Magnetic poles, north and south, are where the magnetic field is strongest.
- Earth has a magnetic field surrounding it.
- Magnetic potential energy is the energy stored in a system due to a magnetic field.
