Questions and Answers

What is the primary difference between the radial field in a loudspeaker magnet and a current meter?

Loudspeaker magnets produce a stronger, more uniform radial field, whereas current meters produce a weaker, more fluctuating radial field.

The fields are the same, they are both radial but they are created by different mechanisms.

The loudspeaker magnet's radial field is designed to exert a force on a moving coil while the current meter's radial field is designed to exert a force on stationary charge carriers.

The radial field in a current meter is used to rotate a coil, while the radial field in a loudspeaker is used to vibrate a coil. (correct)

If a loudspeaker magnet is used without armatures, what shape will the magnetic field lines take, especially in the region inside the ring?

The field will be a uniform field with parallel lines pointing directly outwards from the ring.

The field will be a complex shape with no axis of symmetry and varying strength.

The field will be a series of concentric circles inside the ring aligned to the poles.

The field will be along a defined axis of symmetry from North to South, with field lines curving from the outer edge towards the center of the ring. (correct)

What is the purpose of soft iron keepers when storing magnets and why do they work?

Keepers add additional unpaired electrons, increasing the magnetic strength.

Keepers prevent temperature changes that might affect magnets.

Keepers form closed chains with the magnet's domains, canceling free poles and resisting demagnetization. (correct)

Keepers provide a barrier that prevents magnetic fields from interacting with other objects.

Study Notes

Activity 1

Radial field difference between loudspeakers and current meters
Focus on field differences (not production methods)

Activity 2

Predict loudspeaker magnet field (without armatures)
Field lines go from North (N) to South (S)
Axis of symmetry remains
Often used in TV picture tubes to focus electron beams

3.9 Storing Magnets

Magnets weaken over time due to "free" poles at ends repelling
Repulsion upsets domain alignment, magnetic dipoles splay out
Soft iron keepers used to store magnets for extended periods
Keepers become induced magnets; poles neutralized
Domains in both magnet and keepers form closed chains (no free poles)
This resists demagnetization
