3. Magnetism and Electromagnetism Flashcards
the place where magnets where discovered
Magnesia
the one who discovered magnets
Magnese
the direction of the magnetic field lines (magnetism) is from north to south but within the magnet the direction is from south to north
Magnetism
small magnet created by the electron orbit
Magnetic Dipole
an accumulation of many atomic magnets with their dipoles aligned
Magnetic Domain
is the ability of a material to attract the lines of magnetic field intensity
Magnetic Permeability
CLASSIFICATION OF MAGNETS
- Naturally occurring magnets
- Artificially induced permanent magnets
- Electromagnets
consists of wire wrapped around an iron core
Electromagnets
do not react to magnetic source (wood)
Nonmagnetic
weakly repelled from the magnet (silver and gold)
Diamagnetic
highly attracted to magnets (iron)
Ferromagnetic
weakly attracted to magnet (contrast media in MRI)
Paramagnetic
the degree to which a material can be magnetized
Magnetic Susceptibility
MAGNETIC LAWS
- Every magnet, no matter how small, has two poles: north and south
- Like magnetic poles repel and unlike magnetic poles attract
- Ferromagnetic material can be made magnetic when placed in an external magnetic field
- The force between poles is proportional to the product of the magnetic pole strengths divided by the square of the distance between them
Unit for Magnetic Strength
SI unit: Tesla (T)
Conventional unit: Gauss (G)
