Study Notes
Identifying Magnetically Compatible Items
- Leroy has five items in his pocket, including a compass. He should keep aluminum, brass, and keys away from the compass when using it for navigation. A 10p coin is safe.
Magnetism Through Materials
- A magnet can attract iron through a plastic plate.
Magnetic Field Mapping
- Sketch a magnetic flux map of two identical bar magnets placed with opposite poles facing each other.
- Show the neutral point on the map.
Interaction of Magnets and Steel Balls
- A steel ball is attracted to the south pole of a bar magnet.
- If a second magnet with an unknown pole is placed adjacent to the first ball and held horizontally, the lower ball's movement depends on the nature of the second magnet's pole.
Earth's Magnetic Field and Compass
- A diagram shows a compass needle on a bench, impacted by the Earth's magnetic field.
- The compass needle aligns with the Earth's magnetic field.
Compass Deviation by External Magnet
- Place a bar magnet near the compass.
- Re-draw the diagram to show the new compass needle alignment. Explain the change.
Magnetic Field Lines
- Define magnetic field lines and their properties.
- Explain the property "Field lines never intersect".
Mapping Magnetic Fields
- Describe a method for mapping magnetic fields.
