Magnetism, Electrodynamics Flashcards
where are some magnets located in the x-ray room?
detents and stators for the induction moter
what is the polarity of magnetic material
the direction of the spin south to north
what does MRI measure against?
the hydrogen spin state
inside a magnet exists
magnetic force
outside of a magnet exists
a magnetic field
magnetism is the ability of a material to attract:
iron, cobalt, nickel
name some natural magnets
Earth, lode stone
name some artificial magnets and materials
hard steel, alnico. bar magnet, horseshoe magnet
temporary magnets produced by the means of electrical current
electromagnets
how can materials be magnetized?
heating and striking steel near magnet, hitting iron with a magnet
how can magnets be demagnetized?
hitting it, heating it, alternating current
magnetic moment
magnetic material has 2 or more electrons spinning in one direction, causing charges to line up
domain
polarity within a magnet or the direction of the spin
when magnetic materials are magnetized, how do poles line up?
dipoles (south and north) line up in one direction
when magnetic materials are non-magnetized, charges do what
charges spin randomly, cannot attract cobalt and nickel
the alignment of magnetic force within and around a magnet
lines of force
internal lines of force
magnetic force (south to north)
external lines of force
magnetic field (leaves north end of internal magnet, loops around to south end and back in)
transferring magnetism to a non magnetized object
magnetic induction
when a non-magnetized object is introduced to a magnet, what is its polarity?
non-magnetized object assumes the opposite polarity of the magnet introduced
the ability of a material to become magnetized
permeability
materials with high permeability
iron fillings
material with low permeability
steel
ability of a material to retain its magnetism
retentivity
what material has high retentivity
steel
what material has low retentivity
soft iron
