magnetism Flashcards
what creates magnetic dipoles?
charges in motion
how to determine the direction of a magnetic dipole
by the direction of movement of the charge
right hand rule
where (in relation) are magnetic fields
perpendicular to the motion of charged particles
what is Wb
flux
the amount of lines of force
what is T
flux density
concentration of lines per area
what is a magnetic domain
when several dipoles align
what is a diamagnetic material
materials that have no inherent dipoles
slightly repelled by ,agnets
give examples of diamagnetic materials
water, plastic, wood
what are paramagnetic materials
materials with some inherent dipoles
can be weakly magnetized by an external magnetic field
give an examples of a paramagnetic material
gadolinium
what are ferromagnetic materials
materials with many inherent dipoles
can become strong magnets
give examples of ferromagnetic materials
iron, cobalt
what are the 3 ways to create a magnet
interact with a permanent magnet
hammer
run a current through it
hard ferromagnetic materials are what
permanent magnets (they keep their dipole alignment)
soft ferromagnetic materials create what
electromagnets (only maintain their dipole alignment in a magnetic field
