MAGNETIC MATERIALS
FERROMAGNETIC OBJECTS
   Objects which can be attracted to a magnet
       Iron
       Hematite
       Magnetite
       Nickel
       Cobalt
       Steel
NICKEL
COBALT
CHARACTERISTIC OF MAGNET
MAGNETIC FIELD
 Magnetic   force of attraction works here
 Invisible to the eye

 Has Pattern and direction

 Shown by
     Iron filings
     Compass
GETTING MAGNETIC FIELD LINES
MAGNETIC FIELD LINES
 Begin – North pole
 End – South pole

 Do not cross one another

 Strongest – at Poles

 The stronger the magnetic
  field, the closer the magnetic
  field lines
DIRECTION OF MAGNETIC FIELD LINES
ELECTROMAGNETISM
 Magnetic effect of an electric current passing
  through a conductor
 Magnetic field is induced by the electric current
MAGNETIC FIELD AROUND A STRAIGHT WIRE
 Right hand grip rule tells us the direction of
  magnetic field
 Thumb >> current

 Fingers >> Direction of magnetic field
RIGHT HAND RULE
MAGNETIC FIELD OF SOLENOID
 Wire coiled around a conductor forms solenoid
 Called electromagnet
NORTH POLE – LEFT OR RIGHT?
NORTH POLE - TOP OR BOTTOM?
NORTH POLE – LEFT OR RIGHT?
ELECTROMAGNET
 Temporary magnet
 Magnetism (magnetic effect) – induced by electric current

 Direction of magnetic field >> determined by direction of
  electric current
SOLENOID - ELECTROMAGNET
STRENGTH OF ELECTROMAGNETIC
                     FIELD
 Number    of turns in the solenoid
    The greater the number of turns, the stronger
     the electromagnetic field
 Amount    of current
    The greater the current, the stronger the
     magnetic field
 Hard   iron core vs. Soft Iron core
    Soft iron core produces stronger
     electromagnet
NUMBER OF TURNS
THE NORTH POLE OF A COMPASS NEEDLE IS A
MAGNETIC NORTH POLE. IT IS ATTRACTED TO THE
GEOGRAPHIC NORTH POLE, WHICH IS A MAGNETIC
SOUTH POLE (OPPOSITE MAGNETIC POLES
ATTRACT).
