Study Notes
Magnets
- Magnets are special stones or man-made objects (iron or steel) that interact with some metals.
- Natural magnets are called lodestones or magnetite.
- Different shapes of man-made magnets exist (U-shaped, horseshoe, bar, rod, ring, button).
How Magnets Interact with Objects
- Magnets attract certain objects (iron, nickel, cobalt, steel). These are magnetic materials.
- Nails and paperclips, made of iron, are attracted to magnets.
- Steel objects (locks, spoons, forks, knives) are also attracted.
- Non-magnetic materials (gold, silver, aluminum, copper, wood, paper, plastic, glass, clay) are not attracted.
Magnet Poles
- Magnets have two poles: North (N) and South (S).
- The strongest magnetic force is at the poles, weakest at the center.
- Like poles (N-N or S-S) repel each other.
- Unlike poles (N-S) attract each other.
Force and its Effects
- Force is a push or pull.
- Force can cause objects to start moving, change speed/direction, change shape/size, or stop moving.
- Friction is a force that slows or stops moving objects.
Uses of Magnets
- Magnets are found in many electrical appliances.
- They are used in telephones, headphones, speakers (for sound production).
- Small electromagnets in computers/video recorders handle information.
- Thin magnets in refrigerators help keep the door shut.
- Electromagnets are temporary magnets, acting like magnets only when electricity flows through them.
