Final - Electromagnetism Flashcards
weakly repelled from both poles, cannot be magnetized
diamagnetic
2 diamagnetic examples
water, plastic
weakly attracted to both poles; no permanent magnetism
paramagnetic
strong attraction; can be permanently magnetized
Ferromagnetic
Ferromagnetic example:
Iron
What is the smallest unit of magnetism?
There isn’t one
How ferromagnetic materials are made into magnets - heat or time in magnetic field can cause permanent magnetism.
induction
The force of the magnetic field is ____ proportional to the product of the field strengths
directly
The force of the magnetic field is ____ proportional to the square of the distance.
inversely
what does a battery do with potential energy?
stores it
Explain the right hand rule.
The magnetic field runs perpendicular to the current in a counterclockwise motion - thumb is direction of current, curled fingers are direction of magnetic field.
Faraday’s Law:
Strength of the magnetic field – ____ magnetic field = ____ current flow
higher, higher
Faraday’s Law:
Velocity of moving magnetic field – ____ velocity = ____ current flow
higher, higher
Faraday’s Law:
Magnitude of the induced current depends on the angle of the magnet to the conductor – ____ angle of magnet = ____ current flow
increasing, lower
Faraday’s Law:
Magnitude of the induced current depends on the number of turns in the conductor – more turns on conductor = ____ current flow
higher
