Q

How to test a material if it is a magnet?

A

Hang a permanent magnet, allow it to suspend freely.
Bring the material close to the two poles of the magnet, if the material REPEL the magnet, the material is a magnet. IF there are only attraction, the material is a magnetic material, not a magnet.

Q

Describe the electric current method for magnetisation

How to identify the north-pole for this method?

A

Place the magnetic material in a coil of wire (called solenoid) in North-South direction and passing a direct current through it

Use the right hand grip rule, place your fingers of your right hand (except for the thumb) to follow the current flow, the direction that your thumb pointed to is the North pole.

Q

Describe the electric current method for demagnetisation

A

Place the magnetic material in a coil of wire (Solenoid) in East-West direction and passing a Alternating Current (A.C Current) through it. When the CURRENT IS FLOWING, WITHDRAW the magnet from the solenoid.

Q

What are the 3 differences between magnetisation and demagnetisation using the electric current method

A

Material in North-South. Material in East-West
Material dont withdraw, Material withdraw
Material in D.C current, Material in A.C current

17
Q

Using the domain theory, explain what outcome these methods for magnetsiation and demagnisation achieved. Or before magnetisation or demagnetisation happens, what must happen or change first?

A

The methods all alter/ align the alignments of the domains

18
Q

Explain using domain theory, why a material is magnetised

Explain using domain theory, why a material is not a magnetised

A

The domains of the material are all pointed to the same direction, the magnetic strength is the maximum, thus is magnetised

The domains of the material are all pointed to different directions, the magnetic strength is the minimum, thus is not magnetised

19
Q

Why magnets will become weaker after sometime if you leave it alone?

A

The “free” poles at the end of the magnet will repel one another, altering the alignment of the domains

20
Q

How magnet is usually stored so to prevent from losing magnetism?

A

Magnets are usually stored in pairs with two soft iron keepers across the ends of the magnets. In this way, the poles of the magnets will form a complete loop with no “free” poles, thus preventing them from repelling one another

21
Q

Definition of a magnetic field

A

A region surrounding a magnet, in which a body of magnetic material will experience a MAGNETIC force

22
Q

What are the two methods used to determine the magnetic field pattern for a bar magnet?

A

Iron filling method

Plotting compass method

23
Q

Describe the iron filling method used to determine the magnetic field pattern of a bar magnet

State the disadvantage of the method

A

Place a magnet on a card
Sprinkle the iron filling on the card
Tap the card a little
Iron fillings will form a pattern which is the magnetic field pattern of the magnet

No direction of the field lines shown

24
Q

Describe the plotting compass method used to determine the magnetic field pattern of a bar magnet

A

Place the compass from one end of the magnet to the other end of the magnet in a semicircle shape.
The needle of the compasses will form a semicircle shape which represent the pattern of the magnetic field line of the magnet. The head of the needle represents the direction of the magnetic field

25
Q

Interaction of magnetic field lines (Refer to notes)

A

okay

26
Q

Effect of magnetic materials on magnetic field (Refer to notes)

A

okay

27
Q

A Bar magnet is placed near a iron bar, forming a T shape, how would the iron bar affect the field lines

A

The magnetic field line will enter the middle of the iron bar and come out from the two ends of the iron bar. An magnetic material has an effect of concentrating the field line by forcing it to pass through the magnetic material.

28
Q

What are the 4 magnetic property differences between iron and steel

A

Easy to magnetised, Hard to magnetised
Loses magnetism easily, Retain magnetism longer
Used as electromagnet, Use as permanent magnet

29
Q

What are the two methods that can increase the strength of electromagnet

A

Increase the number of the coils

Increase the current (Use higher voltage batteries)

30
Q

Two use of electromagnet

A

electric bell

circuit breaker

31
Q

Three use of permanent magnet

A

compass
electric door catches
loudspeaker
