Study Notes
Magnetism
- Magnetism is a physical phenomenon where matter interacts like magnets
- Magnets have two poles, which are areas of strongest magnetic effect
- Bar magnets have poles at their ends, while horseshoe and ring magnets can have poles on the sides or faces.
- Magnetic interactions don't require physical contact
- Magnetic forces are related to electric forces, making up part of the electromagnetic force
- Ferromagnetic materials like iron, cobalt, nickel, and certain ceramics are strongly attracted by magnets
- Ceramic magnets, called ferrites, are sometimes used because they can be made from iron oxide
- Permanent magnets retain their magnetism for a long time, but can lose it from mechanical shock, strong heat, or proximity to stronger magnets
- Steel, an alloy of iron, and magnetic ceramics are used for permanent magnets
- Magnets have a neutral zone, where the magnetic effects are weakest or non-existent, like the middle of a bar magnet.
