    How do you think does a compass work?
    Question: The diagram at right represents
    the magnetic field near point P.
    If a compass is placed at point P in the
    same plane as the magnetic field, which
    arrow represents the direction the north P
    end of the compass needle will point?

    History of Magnets
    A. In Greece
    Magnetism was first discovered
    by a shepherd named Magnes,
    who lived in Magnesia, Greece.
    Magnes was herding his sheep
    through the mountains. Suddenly
    he noticed his crook and nails in
    his sandals got stuck to a
    loadstone henceforth known as
    magnetite.
    B. In Rome
    Pliny the Elder documented a hill
    that was made of a stone that
    attracted iron. He attributed the
    powers of magnetite to magic,
    launching years of superstitious
    theories about the material,
    including the possibility that ships
    that had disappeared at sea had
    actually been attracted to
    magnetic islands.
    History of Magnets
    C. In Scandinavia
    The Vikings are said to have been
    using a compass-like tool made of
    lodestone and iron.

    D. In China
    The Chinese may have
    developed a mariner’s compass
    even earlier than the Vikings and
    with similar construction and used
    to aid in navigation

    E. In France
    Petrus Peregrinus was
    responsible for the
    comprehensive account of
    magnetism. His report includes a
    drawing and discussion of the
    freely pivoting compass needle–a
    key component of the first dry
    compass.
    History of Magnets

    F. In England
    William Gilbert discovered not
    only that the Earth itself was a
    magnet, but also that magnets
    could be forged out of iron and
    that their magnetic properties
    could be lost when that iron was
    heated.

    G. In Denmark
    Hans Christian Oersted began to
    explore the relationship between
    electricity and magnetism.
    Magnet
    A magnet is an object that exhibits a
    strong magnetic field and will attract
    materials like iron to it. Magnets have two
    poles, called the north (N) and south (S)
    poles.
    Properties of Magnet
    1. Attractive Property: Magnetic poles are the
    locations where the magnetic effects are
    strongest

    osp/EJSS/4500/285.htm
    2. Pair Property: Magnetic poles always exist in
    pairs.

    3. Directive Property: The pole of a freely


    suspended magnet that points toward
    geographic north is called the north pole of the
    magnet. The other pole points toward the south
    and is called the south pole.
    4. Law of Magnetic Poles
    Like poles repel while unlike poles attract.

    5. Sure test of magnetization: Magnets do not


    attract all metals

    6. The magnetic force between the two magnets is greater when


    the distance between these magnets are lesser.
    Types of Magnets
    1. Permanent Magnet
    Materials that are already magnetized
    and they do not lose their magnetic
    property once they are magnetized. (ex.
    Ferrite, Alnico, Sabarium Cobalt, NIB

    2. Temporary Magnet
    Materials that can be magnetized in the
    presence of a magnetic field. When the
    magnetic field is removed, these
    materials lose their magnetic property.
    (ex. Iron nails and paper-clips)
    https://javalab.org/en/magnetization_en/
    3. Artificial Magnet
    Materials that can be made into
    magnets through induced magnetism.

    Magnetic Materials
    Ferromagnetic Paramagnetic Diamagnetic
    Substances which Substances which Substances which
    are attracted by a are feebly attracted are feebly repelled by
    magnet. by a magnet a magnet
    Ex: Iron, Cobalt, Ex: Aluminum, Ex: Antimony,
    Nickel, Gadolinium, Oxygen, Chromium, Bismuth, Copper,
    Dysprosium Platinum, Alkali and Gold Silver, Mercury
    Alkaline metals
    Demagnetization

    Current
    Magnetic Field
    Exists in a region around a magnet in which
    other magnets or magnetic objects experience
    a magnetic force.

    Magnetic Field Lines


    An imaginary lines used to visualize a magnetic
    field graphically.
    Types of Magnetic Fields
    Properties of Magnetic Field Lines
    1. The magnetic field lines of
    magnet/solenoid form closed continuous
    loop.
    A. Inside the magnet/solenoid:
    The magnetic field lines extending
    from south pole to north pole.
    B. Outside the body of magnet/solenoid
    The direction of magnetic field lines is
    from north to south pole

    2. The direction of the magnetic field is


    tangent to a field line at any point

    3. The number of lines per unit area is proportional to the strength


    of the magnetic field.

    4. The magnetic field lines will never come to cross each other
    Earth’s Magnetic Field
    William Gilbert
    Suggested that magnets point to the north because Earth is
    one giant magnet.

    11º

    The Earth’s magnetic field is attributed a dynamo effect of circulating


    electric current in the Earths molten magma, changes with time;
    geologic evidence shows that it reverses direction entirely at irregular
    intervals of to years.
    Magnetic Light Show
    Interaction of the terrestrial magnetic field with particles from the
    solar wind sets up the conditions for the aurora phenomena near
    the poles.
