William Gilbert. But first, the nature of magnetism will be discussed.
Slide 7 / 120 Slide 8 / 120 Magnet Properties Magnetic Poles When a magnet is cut in half, each piece still has a north and a south pole. No matter how many times the magnet is cut, the pieces still Magnets have two have a north and south pole. ends (poles) called north and south. This works all the way down to the atomic level! Like poles repel; unlike poles attract. This attraction or repulsion is the magnetic force. These are examples of bar magnets. Slide 9 / 120 Slide 10 / 120 Magnetic Poles and Electric charges 1 What are the two kinds of magnetic poles? The behavior of magnetic poles (north and south) are similar to A North and Negative. electric charges (positive and negative) where opposite poles/ B South and Positive. charges attract and like poles/charges repel. C Postive and Negative. There are two significant differences between these effects. D North and South. One, certain materials are naturally magnetic, where electrical properties result from physical rubbing. And secondly - there are independent positive and negative charges, but magnetic materials always contain a north and a south pole. https://www.njctl.org/video/?v=fpooBJ6kwuw Slide 11 / 120 Slide 12 / 120 3 It is possible to find a magnet that only has a north pole. 2 Which of the following combination of magnetic poles will exert an attractive force on each other? Yes A North and North. No B North and South. C South and South. https://www.njctl.org/video/?v=TXWHzmbWYRs https://www.njctl.org/video/?v=ZR7T2GItOsA
Slide 13 / 120 Slide 14 / 120 Magnetic Fields Electric field lines were used to show how electric charges would exert forces on other charges. A similar concept will be used in Magnetism. Magnetic Fields What's nice about Magnetic field lines is that they are more easily "seen." The above is a picture of iron filings sprinkled on a paper on top of a bar magnet. Return to Table of Contents https://www.njctl.org/video/?v=ZgBllHlSq_4 Slide 15 / 120 Slide 16 / 120 Magnetic Fields Magnetic Fields The iron filings act like little bar magnets, and align with the magnetic field of the large magnet. Arbitrarily, magnetic field lines are defined as leaving the north pole of the magnet and reentering at the south pole as seen below. The lines specify the direction that the north pole of a magnet will point to. The more lines per unit area, the stronger the field. N S The lines that seem not to be The field exits one end of the magnet and returns to the other in loops are - we just ran out of end. Note also, that the field lines extend through the magnet, room on the slide. All making a complete loop (unlike Electric Field Lines). magnetic field lines form complete loops.

Here are two magnets with their north poles next to each other - Here are two magnets with their opposite poles next to each other these magnets are repelling each other. - these magnets are attracting each other.
Slide 19 / 120 Slide 20 / 120 The Earth's Magnetic Field The Earth's Magnetic Field The Earth’s magnetic field is similar to that of a bar magnet. The Magnetic Field extends from the core to the outer limits of the atmosphere (magnetosphere). It is caused by the circulation of molten iron This picture shows the interaction of the solar wind (ions and alloys in the earth's outer electrons) with the magnetosphere. core. The Earth’s “North Pole” is really a south magnetic pole as the north ends of magnets are attracted to it. The magnetic poles are not located along the earth's axis of rotation. Slide 21 / 120 Slide 22 / 120 The Earth's Magnetic Field Magnetic Field Units This interaction also produces the Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis. The symbol for the Magnetic Field is B. The field is a vector and has both magnitude and direction. The unit of B is the Tesla, T, where Because the Tesla is such a large magnitude, another unit is frequently used, the Gauss, G, where To gain perspective, the magnetic field of the Earth at its surface is around 0.5 x 10 -4 T or simply 0.5 G.

Slide 25 / 120 Slide 26 / 120 Electric Currents Produce Electric Currents Produce Magnetic Fields Magnetic Fields In 1820, while searching for a relationship between electricity Current carrying wire generating a and magnetism, Hans Christian Oersted noticed that a magnetic field that deflects a compass compass needle would be deflected away from pointing needle. towards the north pole when he connected a wire to a battery, and would return to pointing north when the circuit was disconnected. Oersted deduced that an electric current produced a magnetic field that affected the compass needle more strongly than the earth's magnetic field. In addition to this first experimental evidence that electric and magnetic fields are related, Oersted produced Aluminum Hans Christian Oersted (1777-1851) for the first time (which was later used to carry current). Physicist and Chemist Slide 27 / 120 Slide 28 / 120 Electric Currents Produce Electric Currents Produce Magnetic Fields Magnetic Fields It has been experimentally observed that the direction of the magnetic field depends on the direction of the electric current.

Somehow, we This is because the movement of the electrons in the nucleus need to show this third dimension on our paper. can be viewed as tiny electric currents. And as shown by Oersted, changing electric currents generate magnetic fields. We have left / right: So each atom is acting as a magnet with a north and south Up / down: pole. How do we represent the third dimension on a page of paper?
