Chapter 24: Magnetism Flashcards
The force between any two charged particles depends on the magnitude of the charge on each and their distance of
Separation as specified in Coulomb’s law
When charged particles are moving with respect to each other, the electrical force between electrically charged particles depends also, in a complicated way, on their
Motion
There is a force due to the motion of the charged particles that we call the
Magnetic force
Force of attraction or repulsion between a pair of magnets depends on
Which end of the magnet is held near the other
Magnetic poles behavior similar to
Electrical forces
Strength of interaction depends on the distance between the
Two magnets
Given rise to magnetic force of the two types interacting with each other:
1) North pole
2) South pole
North and South pole
North seeking pole and south seeking pole
Rule for magnetic forces between magnetic poles like
Poles repels and opposite poles area attract
In all magnets cannot have
One pole without the other
No single pole known to
Exist
Simple bar magnet
Poles at the two ends
Horseshoe magnet
Bent U Shape poles at ends
If we continue to split the magnet, we will eventually get down to an iron atom with
A north pole and south pole and these cannot be separated
A weak and strong magnet repel each other. The greater repelling force is by the
Stronger and weaker magnet
Region of magnetic influence surrounding
Magnetic poles and shape revealed by lines that spread from one pole to the other then by convention direction is from the north pole to the south pole
Strength indicated by closeness of the lines
1) Line close together (denser); strong magnetic field
2) Lines farther apart (less dense); weak magnetic field
Magnetic field produced by two kinds of electron motion
1) Electron pin
2) Electron revolutions
Electron spin main contributor to
Magnetism and pair of electrons spinning in same direction creates a stronger magnet and pair of electron spinning in opposite direction cancels magnetic field the other
Electron revolution orbits or energy levels that electrons occupy
Around the nucleus of an atom
Magnetized clusters of
Aligned magnetic atoms
Permanent magnets made by placing pieces of iron or similar magnetic materials in
A strong magnetic field
Stroking material with a magnet to
Align the domains
Permanent magnet can be naturally occuring (lodestone) or created by
1) Alignment of domains by an external field
2) Domain remain once external magnetic field is removed
Temporary magnet alignment of domains return to
Random arrangement once external magnetic field is removed
