Study Notes
What is a Magnet?
- Magnets are special stones or objects that interact with certain metals. They can be natural (like magnetite, also called lodestone) or man-made, typically made of iron or steel.
- Man-made magnets come in various shapes (U-shaped, horseshoe, bar, rod, ring, button magnets) and sizes, depending on their intended use.
Magnet Characteristics
- Magnets attract certain materials, called magnetic materials.
- Magnetic materials include iron, nickel, cobalt, and steel.
- Non-magnetic materials are not attracted to magnets. Examples include gold, silver, aluminum, copper, wood, paper, plastic, glass, and clay.
- Objects like nails and paper clips are made of iron and are therefore attracted to magnets. Steel objects such as locks, spoons, forks, and knives are also magnetic.
Magnet Poles
- Magnets have two poles: a North pole and a South pole.
- The strongest magnetic force is at the poles, weakest at the center.
- A magnet's poles are indicated by 'N' for North and 'S' for South.
- Like poles (N-N or S-S) repel each other.
- Unlike poles (N-S) attract each other.
Force and its Effects
- A force is a push or pull that occurs when objects interact.
- Force can cause objects to move, change speed, change direction, change shape, or stop.
- Friction is a force that slows or stops movement.
- Everyday examples of force include pushing a car, pulling a trolley, squeezing a lemon, kicking a ball, and kneading flour.
Magnet Uses
- Magnets are found in many everyday electrical appliances.
- Magnets help with sound production in telephones, headphones, and speakers.
- Small electromagnets are used in computers and video recorders for data handling.
- Magnets are used in refrigerators to keep the door closed.
Electromagnets
- Electromagnets are temporary magnets that act as magnets only when electricity is flowing through them.
