Study Notes
- Organisms respond to changes in their internal and external environments.
- Magnetism and electromagnetism involve temporary and permanent magnets, magnetic fields, and applications, in electric motors and loudspeakers.
- The study of these aspects includes key physics concepts, principles, and practical applications.
Temporary and Permanent Magnets
- Magnetic materials are classified according to their ability to retain magnetism
- Temporary magnets are made of soft materials; an example is iron.
- Temporary magnets lose their magnetism when the magnetic field is removed
- Permanent magnets are of hard materials; an example is steel.
- Permanent magnets retain their magnetism
Non-Magnetic Materials
- Non-magnetic materials cannot be magnetized
- Non-magnetic materials are not attracted to magnets
Magnetic Fields
- Magnetic field lines represent the magnetic force on a north pole at any given point
- The direction of the lines shows the force direction
- The proximity of the lines indicates the force magnitude
- Magnetic field lines always go from north to south poles
- Magnetic field lines never overlap
Electromagnetism
- Electromagnetism occurs when an electric current passes through a conductor thus producing a magnetic field
- The right-hand grip rule determines the magnetic field direction around a current-carrying wire
- The thumb points in the direction of the current
- The fingers wrap around to indicate the field direction
Electromagnets (Solenoids)
- Electromagnets consist of a coil of wire wrapped around a magnetically soft core, usually iron
- Electromagnets can be turned on and off
- Solenoids are coils of wire that produce a magnetic field when an electric current passes through them
Motor Effect
- The motor effect is the force experienced by a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field
- The motor effect principle is the foundation of electric motors.
Electric Motors
- DC motors consist of a coil of wire placed between two permanent magnets
- When direct current flows through the wire, it experiences a force due to the motor effect thus causing rotation
- The speed of an electric motor can be enhanced by:
- Increasing the current
- Strengthening the magnet
- Adding more turns to the coil
Loudspeakers
- Loudspeakers use electromagnetic principles to produce sound
- A loudspeaker comprises a coil attached to a cone within a magnetic field
- When an alternating current flows through the coil, it causes the cone to vibrate and produces sound waves
- The cone's vibration pushes air molecules, creating sound waves that we hear.
Electromagnetic Induction
- Electromagnetic induction occurs when a voltage is induced in a conductor or coil
- This happens when it moves through a magnetic field
- This also happens when a magnetic field changes around it
- Crucial for understanding generators and transformers
- The generator effect occurs when relative movement between a conductor and a magnetic field induces a voltage in the conductor.
- In electromagnetic induction, relative movement is the motion between the conductor and the magnetic field
- Necessary to induce a voltage
