Magnets Electromagnetic Magnetic Induction NOT all metals are magnetic Magnetic Materials Permanent magnets will always have a magnetic properties Eg, Ferrous materials such as Iron Temporary magnets will have magnetic properties only when they are under the influence of magnetic fields Making a magnet by stroking Single Touch Divided Touch Methods of Magnetisation Making a magnet by stroking Single Touch Methods of Magnetisation Making a magnet by using electricity Methods of Demagnetisation Methods of demagnetising magnets 1. Heating - misalignment of “tiny” magnets, increase vibration of atoms 2. Hammering Methods of Demagnetisation Methods of demagnetising magnets 3. Alternating Current Magnetic Fields & the Plotting Compass A magnetic field is the region where a magnetic force is exerted on any magnetic object placed within the influence of the field. Magnetic Fields & the Plotting Compass Magnetic Fields & the Plotting Compass Magnetic Fields & the Plotting Compass X: neutral point Magnetic Fields & the Plotting Compass Earth’s Magnetic Field Magnetic Field in wires Sample question How much magnetic field would the metal experience if they are placed 1.2m away from the current carrying 2 A. Ans = 3.3 x 10^-7 T Electromagnets Strength of Electromagnet 3 Factors that affect the strength of electromagnet 1) Increase the Number of turns 2) Increase the current
