Compass and dip needles were
used to find magnetite in
Sweden in the Middle Ages,
making the magnetic method the
oldest of all applied geophysical
techniques. This method of
magnetic prospecting for ores
was used extensively for iron
mining up until the early
decades of the twentieth
century. However, the dip circle
is not a sensitive enough
instrument for most ore
prospecting purposes and has
been replaced with groundbased versions of
magnetometers used in
aeromagnetic surveys.

Magnetic declination changes…
…in space:
…and in time.
Neutron stars are large stars that have collapsed
until they are planet sized. As they collapse, their
magnetic fields intensify. As they rapidly rotate, their
magnetic field sweeps around like a lighthouse.
They were originally called pulsars.
The Sun’s magnetic field…
1. produces sunspots
2. reverses itself every 11 y
(next peak: 2012….)
3. affects climate on Earth.
magnetograms of the sun: dark is one pole,
light is the other
In 2012:
1. A comet may strike Earth.
2. Yellowstone Caldera may erupt.
3. The Mayan Calendar predicts the End of the World.
4. The magnetic field of Earth may reverse
5. The sunspot cycle will reach its peak.
Which one of these facts is an inference most likely
to come true?

What are electromagnets used for?
Plus electric motors
and generators…
The B field of the electromagnet
turns its iron core into a magnet.
The core will then be attracted
into the coil's field.
 This is how solenoids work.
Analog ammeters (and voltmeters) use coils, too:
•Current is used in coils to create electromagnets.
•The electromagnets repel/attract and move the needle.
•The stronger the current, the more the force, and
the more the needle moves.
II. Magnetism in Solids.

Magnetism in solids is caused by the ______________
electrons
that result from the motion of ________________
as they
"spin" on their axis

"orbit" their nuclei
2/ _____________________________

--only in ______________________

the nucleus called _______________

electrons, spinning in ________________
directions, can fit

Each element has its own ______________
arrangement
number
of orbitals and ______________

an atom is ferromagnetic or not depends on whether
filled up
the ________________

or not.
orbitals

cancel  _____________
filled orbital  spins ________

unfilled orbital 

ferromagnetic because
__________________________
spins act like magnets

2. diamagnetism:
repulsion
--weak magnetic ________________
--occurs in water, glass, Cu, Pb, salt, wood,
most gases, plastics, etc.
3. paramagnetism:
attraction
--weak magnetic _________________
--Al, O, Na
In a ferromagnetic solid (iron, nickel or cobalt), atoms
with unfilled electron orbitals organize themselves into
domains -- area in which the electrons are lined up
Ex. An unmagnetized ferromagnetic material has
random domains:
domains
= spin of
an electron
Ex. A magnetized ferromagnetic material has domains
that are aligned with each other
