magnetism, electro magnetism Flashcards
when and where were the first stones with magnetic properties found
around 600 bc in magnesia in asia minor (present day turkey)
what kind of stones were the magnets
oxides of iron called magnetite
what is the formula for magnetite
Fe3O4
what is another name for magnetite
lodestone
which properties of magnets are called magnetism
when hanging freely, they always stay along the north-south direction, and attract or repel each other. these properties are called magnetism
what are natural magnets
naturally occurring magnets like magnetite
what are artificial magnets
made from different components of iron in various shapes and sizes for different uses
give a few examples of shapes of artificial magnets
bar magnet
horse shoe
magnetic compass
cylindrical
electromagnet
which magnet was used in magnetic compass for the first time
the natural lodestone
which kind of artificial magnet is a temporary magnet
electromagnet
where is the magnetism highest and lowest in magnets
highest at poles
zero in centre
what is the neutral point of magnets
the centre where there is no magnetism
which experiment shows that the poles cannot be separated from magnets
when magnet is broken, each piece becomes a new magnet and has two poles
when does iron act as a magnet
when brought near a powerful magnet
what are the types of magnetic materials
para magnetic
dia magnetic
ferro magnetic
another one are antiferromagnetic, dekhenge uspe jana hoga to
what are para magnetic materials
materials which are not strongly attracted to a magnet
what happens to para magnetic materials in an external magnetic field?
they acquire weak magnetism in the direction of fiels
examples of paramagnetic materials
platinum aluminium
sodium manganes
oxygen and even air
usually in which kind of substances based on their electron configuration is para magnetism observed?
in those substances whose atoms have an odd number of electrons
which instrument is used to detect the flow of current
moving coil galvanometer
what are dia magnetic materials
those which are repelled by a magnet
what happens to dia magnetic materials in an external magnetic field
they acquire weak magnetism in the opposite direction of the field
examples of dia magnetic materials?
bismuth, lead, water, gold, silver, nitrogen, diamond, hydrogen etc
what are ferromagnetic materials
those which are strongly attracted to magnets
Eg iron, cobalt, nickel etc or magnetite or alloys
