Study Notes
Non-Contact Force
- Magnetism is an invisible force that pulls or pushes certain materials.
- Gravity is a non-contact force that pulls objects towards Earth.
- Electricity is a non-contact force that attracts or repels charged particles.
- Some rocks have magnetic properties and are called natural magnets.
- We can create magnets from special metals, known as man-made magnets.
Magnetic Materials
- Iron, nickel, and cobalt are attracted to magnets.
- Plastic, wood, and glass are not attracted to magnets.
Magnetic Poles
- Every magnet has two poles: north and south.
- Opposite poles (north and south) attract each other.
- Same poles (north-north or south-south) repel each other.
Magnetic Fields
- Magnetic force extends around a magnet, represented by invisible lines called magnetic field lines.
- The magnetic field is stronger near the magnet and weaker farther away.
- Iron filings can be used to visualize the magnetic field pattern.
Earth's Magnetic Field
- Earth acts like a giant bar magnet, generating its own magnetic field.
- A compass needle points towards Earth's magnetic north.
- Some animals, like migratory birds, use Earth's magnetic field for navigation.
Fun with Magnets
- Magnetic painting involves creating art using iron filings and magnets.
- A levitating pencil can be made to float using ring magnets.
- A magnetic maze uses magnets to guide a paperclip through a maze.
- Magnetic slime is a type of slime that responds to magnetic fields.
