Study Notes
Magnets
- Magnets are special stones (natural) or objects made of iron or steel (man-made) that interact with some metals.
- Different shapes and sizes of man-made magnets exist, including U-shaped, horseshoe, bar, rod, ring, and button magnets.
- Magnets attract certain materials (magnetic materials).
- Iron, nickel, cobalt, and steel are magnetic materials.
- Nails and paper clips are examples of magnetic materials.
- Non-magnetic materials are not attracted to magnets, examples include gold, silver, aluminium, copper, wood, paper, plastic, glass, and clay.
- Magnets have two poles: a north pole (N) and a south pole (S).
- The strongest force of a magnet is at its poles, and the weakest is at its center.
- Like poles (N-N or S-S) repel each other.
- Unlike poles (N-S) attract each other.
- A force is a push or pull applied on an object, causing interactions.
- Friction is a force that slows or stops moving objects.
- Forces can change an object's motion (speed and/or direction), start a stationary object moving, or change its shape or size.
- Forces can also cause a moving object to stop.
Electromagnets
- Electromagnets are temporary magnets that act as magnets when electricity flows through them.
