Magnetism Flashcards
What are examples of magnets?
1) Wand
2) Horseshoe
3) Bar
4) Ring
The three magnetic materials are…
1) Ferromagnetic
2) Paramagnetic
3) Diamagnetic
What do you call metals that can be easily magnetised?
Ferromagnetic (e.g., iron, nickel, cobalt, and manganese).
What do you call metals that cannot be easily magnetised?
Paramagnetic (e.g., platinum, titanium, and chromium).
What do you call metal or nonmetallic materials that cannot be magnetised?
Diamagnetic (e.g., copper, brass, and antimony).
What is ALNICO?
1) Aluminium
2) Nickel
3) Iron
4) Cobalt
_ can attract magnets and _ materials.
Magnets, magnetic
All magnets are _, but not all metals are _.
metals, magnetic
What is magnetism?
The push/pull forces between like/unlike poles.
Magnetism is due to the…
arrangement of electrons.
It is closely related to electricity.
Magnetism.
Every magnet has one _ and _ pole.
north, south
The blue end of a magnet is the north pole while the red end is the south pole.
False.
It is the part of the magnet where the magnetic effects are strongest.
Magnetic poles.
How is magnetism different from electricity?
Magnetic monopoles do not exist when it is possible to have separate positive and negative charges.
Magnetic monopoles exist.
False.
A charge cannot experience a magnetic force when placed in a magnetic field.
False.
What are the 2 conditions for charges to experience a magnetic field?
- It has to be moving
- It has to have a component of velocity perpendicular to the magnetic field
The form of the
magnetic force on a moving charged particle is given by the equation…
F = q0v × B
F - magnetic force
q0 - charge of particle
v - velocity of particle
B - magnetic field
Magnetic Forces on Charges: The _ of the _ can be obtained by using the definition of the vector cross product.
magnitude, force
What is the equation to find the magnitude of the magnetic force on a charge?
F = q0vBsinθ
θ - angle between v and B
The magnitude of the magnetic field can be defined similar to that of the electric field by the equation…
B = F / q0vsinθ
As a vector, a magnetic field can be determined using a _ or the _ _ _ of vector multiplication.
compass, right hand rule
The unit of magnetism is…
Tesla (T), from N • s / C • m
