Study Notes
- Magnets generate a magnetic field, which applies a force to other magnets and magnetic materials.
- Iron is typically magnetic because of its atomic structure.
- North poles repel each other.
- Magnetic field lines point from north to south.
- The magnetic force diminishes as magnets move apart.
Magnetic Properties
- Arrangement of atomic structures, especially alignment of electron spins, influences a material's magnetic properties
- Like poles repel, unlike poles attract.
- Magnetic field lines show magnetic field strength; closer lines mean a stronger field.
- A magnet approaching a ferromagnetic material magnetizes it, changing magnetic potential energy into kinetic energy.
Applications
- Earth’s magnetic field helps with navigation by providing direction for compasses.
- Electromagnets work by running electric current through a wire around a ferromagnetic core.
- Practical uses: MRI, electromotors, and data storage.
True or False Review
- Magnetic field lines can intersect without altering the magnetic strength.
- The Earth’s magnetic field does not remain constant over time.
- Soft magnetic materials lose magnetism quickly when external magnetic fields are removed.
- Electromagnets need a constant supply of electrical energy.
- The core material used affects an electromagnet's magnetic field strength.
