LT1 Flashcards
Lines of force are more dense the closer you are to the poles (T or F)
True
What are the 6 Characteristics of Magnetic Lines of Force ?
Magnetic Lines of force possess direction
Magnetic lines of force always from complete loops
Magnetic lines of force represent tension along their length that tends to make them as short as possible
Magnetic lines of force repel each other
Magnetic lines of force cannot intersect or cross, but must always form individual loops.
Magnetic lines of force always tend to arrange themselves in such a manner that the maximum number of lines of force are set up
what is reluctance?
Property that opposes the setting up of flux lines is known as Reluctance
How does magnetism by induction work?
When a magnet is held up to a ferromagnetic material which causes the creating poles in that material.
Common Methods of Producing Artificial Magnets
Using Electric Current is the most effective way of producing an artificial magnet
A magnetic field is produced every time current flows through a conductor
You can significantly increase the magnetic field if the conductor is wound into a coil and wrapped around a piece of ferromagnetic material
Common Methods of Demagnetizing Ferromagnetic Materials
Using Electric Current
Apply an alternating current to the object and slowing remove the object from the magnetic field or slowing turning down the current
Using Heat
Bring the temporary magnet up to its Currie Temperature, for iron this is 770 degrees Celsius
Using Vibration
What item can be used to prevent magnets from getting damaged when stored
