Magnetism and
Electromagnetism
1. Natural magnets:
o has magnetic property in its natural states (e.g. magnetites, lodestone)
o These are weak magnets.
2 TYPES OF MAGNET
2. Artificial Magnet
o are made of materials like iron, nickel and cobalt which can be easily
magnetized.
o these are strong magnets and can be made in different shapes.
2 TYPES OF MAGNET
Permeability
refers to the ability of a magnetic material to
concentrate magnetic flux.
Ferromagnetic Materials
o Are those substances which exhibit strong magnetism in the
same direction of the field, when a magnetic field is applied
to it.
o These include iron, steel, nickel, cobalt, and commercial
alloys, such as alnico and Permalloy.
MAGNETIC MATERIALS
Paramagnetic Materials
o Become magnetized in a magnetic field but their
magnetism disappears when the field is removed.
o These include aluminum, platinum, manganese, and
chromium. Relative permeability is slightly more than 1.
MAGNETIC MATERIALS
Diamagnetic Materials
o Refers to materials that are not affected by a magnetic field
o These include bismuth, antimony, copper, zinc, mercury, gold,
and silver. Relative permeability is less than 1.
MAGNETIC MATERIALS
MAGNETIC MATERIALS
o They are also used to sort out the magnetic and non-
magnetic substances from the scrap.
Electromagnet
Is a magnet that runs on electricity
Consists of a soft-iron core around which a number of turns of
insulated wire are wound, becomes magnet when connected to a
source of electricity.
USES ELECTROMAGNET:
ELECTROMAGNETISM
MAGNETIC UNITS:
Ampere-Turns NI
Field Intensity H
Magnetization Curve BH
Hysteresis
ELECTROMAGNETISM
Ampere-Turns NI:
F = ampere-turns = NI
Field Intensity H:
The field intensity thus depends on how long the coil is. Expressed as
an equation:
Example:
(b)If the same coil is stretched to 20cm, with the wire length
and current remaining the same, what’ is the new value of
field intensity
(c) The 10-cm coil in part (a) with the same 3 A flowing is
now wound around an iron core that is 20 cm long. What is
the field intensity?
ELECTROMAGNETISM
ELECTROMAGNETISM
MAGNETIC CIRCUITS:
is made up of one or more closed loop paths containing
a magnetic flux.
can be compared with an electric current in which an
emf produces a current flow.
ELECTROMAGNETISM
Reluctance (𝕽)
Example:
A coil has an mmf of 500At and a reluctance of 2 x lO⁶
At/Wb. Compute the total flux Ф.
