Chapter 4 & 5 Flashcards
Magnets that do not require any power or force to maintain their fields are called?
Permanent magnets
The regions of metal molecular structure that share valence electrons in a way that their spin patterns are the same direction and cause their magnetic fields to add are called
Magnetic domains
Metals that are easily magnetized. Examples of these materials are iron, nickel, cobalt, and Maganese. 
Ferromagnetic materials
Metals that can be magnetized, but not as easily as ferromagnetic materials. Some examples of these materials are platinum, titanium, and chromium. 
Paramagnetic materials
Either metal or nonmetal materials that cannot be magnetized. The magnetic lines of force tend to go around them instead of through them. Some examples of these materials are copper brass and antimony.
Diamagnetic materials 
These magnets depend on electric current flow to produce a magnetic field ?
Electromagnets 
The strength of an electromagnet is proportional to its ________. _________ are determined by multiplying the number of terms of wire by the current flow.
 Ampere-turns 
The measure of a materials ability to become magnetized is called?
Permeability
Resistance to magnetism is called ?
Reluctance
When a material has reached its maximum magnetic potential, it has reached a point of _____? 
Saturation 
Magnetic strength is measured in a term called?
Flux density 
A variable resistor used to provide a variable voltage is called a ?
Potentiometer
