    ChuahSiewHoon
    This document discusses magnetism and electromagnetism. It describes natural magnets like lodestone and how ferromagnetic materials can become magnetized when exposed to magnetic fields. It then covers the characteristics of magnets including having poles, attraction and repulsion of poles, and magnetic fields. Electromagnets are introduced as magnets created by electric current flowing through a coil. Examples of uses for magnets and electromagnets include computers, speakers, generators, motors, medical imaging, transportation, and household appliances.

    7.3 Magnetism
    Human magnets
    Lodestone = a naturally magnetized piece of
    the mineral magnetite.
    Manmade magnet
    • ferromagnetic materials = Substances that behave
    like a magnet in the presence of a magnetic field 
    • includes iron, cobalt, nickel, and some alloys of
    rare earth elements
    • by exposing them to a magnetic field using
    electric current.

    7.3.1 Characteristics of a magnet
    Characteristics/Properties of a magnet:
    • Attracts magnetic materials
    • Has poles (north pole and south pole)
    • Like ( 一样 ) poles repel, unlike poles attract
    • Freely suspended magnet shows north-south
    direction
    Like ( 一样 ) poles repel
    unlike poles attract
    Magnetic field
    • An area around the magnet with magnetic force
    Magnetic field
    Can be shown
    by using iron
    filling.
    The lines on
    the on the
    magnetic field
    ➔ magnetic
    field lines
    Magnetic
    field
    The direction
    of magnetic
    field lines
    can be
    determined
    by using
    COMPASS.
    Magnetic
    field
    Most of the iron
    fillings are
    attracted to the
    poles of the
    magnet ➔ the
    magnetic force
    is strongest at
    its poles.
    Magnetic field
    The stronger
    the magnetic
    field, the
    CLOSER the
    magnetic field

    Act.7.9 Characteristics of magnetic field lines:

    The magnetic The magnetic


    field lines are field lines
    closer where the never meet
    magnetic field is or cross
    stronger From north to
    south
    7.3.2 Electromagnet
    Electromagnet
    • A type of magnet that has temporary
    magnetic effect when electric current flows
    through it.
    Act.7.10
    Act.7.10
    Act.7.10
    • The pattern of the magnetic field depends on
    the shape of the conductor used.
    • The direction of the magnetic field is
    determined by the direction of the current.
    Right hand grip rule
    Pattern and direction of magnetic field produced
    by a straight wire
    Pattern and direction of magnetic field produced by
    a coiled wire
    Patterns and directions of magnetic fields produced
    by a solenoid
    Experiment 7.2
    To investigate the relationship between the
    strength of a magnetic field with:
    • Current flow
    • Number of turns
    Experiment 7.2
    The strength of a magnetic field increases
    when
    • Current increases
    • Number of turns of wire increases
    7.3.3 Uses of magnet and electromagnet in
    daily life
    Magnet and electromagnets are widely used as
    components of other electrical devices in the
    following fields:
    • Computers and Electronics
    • Electric Power
    • Health and Medicine
    • In the Home
    Computers and Electronics
    • computers use magnets to store data on hard
    drives
    Computers and Electronics
    • small speakers found in computers, televisions
    and radios also use magnets
    Electric Power and other industries
    • Magnets in electric generators turn
    mechanical energy into electricity
    Electric Power and other industries
    • motors use magnets to convert electricity
    back into mechanical work.
    Electric Power and other industries
    • Bicycle dynamo
    Electric Power and other industries
    • electrically-powered magnets in cranes grab
    and move large pieces of metal
    Health and Medicine
    • Magnetic Resonance Imaging machines (MRI)
    Transportation
    • Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a
    system of train transportation that uses two sets
    of magnets, one set to repel and push the train
    up off the track as in levitation (hence Maglev,
    Magnetic-levitation), then another set to move
    the 'floating train' ahead at great speed taking
    advantage of the lack of friction. 
    The highest recorded maglev speed is 603 km/h (375 mph), achieved
    in Japan by JR Central's L0 superconducting Maglev on 21 April 2015
    In the Home
    • Refrigerator magnets hold papers, bottle
    openers and other small items to the metal
    refrigerator door
    In the Home
    • Electric bell
    In the home
    • A pocket compass uses a magnetic needle to
    show which way is north.
