Study Notes

Magnetic Flux Patterns

Like poles repel: When two magnets are placed side-by-side with like poles together, they repel each other. Parallel field lines between the magnets indicate repulsion.
Opposite poles attract: Field lines running from one pole to the other indicate attraction.
Horseshoe Magnet (U-shaped): Field lines are parallel near the middle of the air gap between the poles, creating a uniform field. This is stronger because the poles are close together.
Neutral Point: Midway between opposing poles, magnetic fields neutralize each other.

Magnetic Shielding

Soft Iron's Role: Soft iron can transfer and divert magnetic fields.
Field Transfer: The field can be transferred to a desired location using soft iron.
Weakening the Field: A ring of soft iron weakens the field inside the ring significantly.
Shielding Sensitive Devices: Shielding protects sensitive devices from strong external fields; external fields are shunted into the iron.
Controlling Fields: Magnetic shielding is used to contain strong fields within a limited area (e.g., loudspeakers near computer screens).
