Study Notes
Magnets: Definition and Properties
- Magnets are special stones or man-made objects that interact with some metals. A shepherd named Magnus discovered naturally occurring magnets in Magnesia (a region of ancient Greece).
- Natural magnets include magnetite and lodestone, found in rocks.
- Man-made magnets are typically made of iron or steel and come in various shapes, including U-shaped, horseshoe, bar, rod, ring, and button magnets.
- Magnets attract certain materials known as magnetic materials.
- Magnetic materials include iron, nickel, cobalt, and steel; examples include nails and paperclips.
- Non-magnetic materials are not attracted to magnets. Examples include gold, silver, aluminum, copper, wood, paper, plastic, glass, and clay.
Magnet Interactions and Forces
- Magnets attract magnetic materials due to the magnetic force.
- Magnets have two poles: north (N) and south (S).
- The magnetic force is strongest at the poles and weakest at the 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 that can cause changes in motion or shape.
- Friction is a force that slows or stops motion.
Effects of Forces on Objects
- Forces can cause objects to:
- Start moving if they are at rest.
- Change their speed or direction if already moving.
- Change their shape or size.
- Stop moving if they are currently moving.
Uses of Magnets
- Magnets are essential components in many everyday electrical devices.
- Magnets in telephones, headphones, and speakers generate sound.
- Small electromagnets are used inside computers and video recorders to manage information.
- Magnets are used to keep refrigerator doors closed, as refrigerators often contain steel.
Additional Magnet Information
- Electromagnets are temporary magnets. They act as magnets only when electricity flows through them.
