PHYSICS 101-1 Unit 2 Lesson 1 Flashcards
Electromagnetic Induction
Inducing an electromotive Force (emf/voltage) into a conductor as it cuts magnetic lines of Force
Magnetism
property of a magnet that permits it to attract other things magnetic
Magnetic Field
zone of influence surrounding a magnet
summation of the fields of all magnetic domains
Permeability
also known as magnetic susceptibility and it says how easily something can be magnetized
Magnetic Retentively
ability to stay magnetized
What are the types of magnets?
natural magnets
artificial permanent magnets
electromagnets
Natural Magnets
made by nature
what is the largest natural magnet ?
earth
What is an example of a natural magnet?
lordestone
What does lordestone consist of ?
iron oxide or magnetite
Artificial Permanent Magnets
usually shaped like a bar or horseshoe
Alnico
alloy of aluminum, nickel, and cobalt that can made into a strong magnet
Electromagnetics
temporary magnets made by electric current
What are the 3 fundamental laws of magnetism ?
- magnetic poles
- repulsion-attraction
- inverse square law
Magnetic Poles
magnets have a north and south pole on opposite ends and even when broken these qualities remain true
Repulsion-Attraction
repulsion- like ends repel
attraction- opposite ends attract
Inverse square law
force between two magnetic fields directly proportional to the product of magnetic pole strengths divided by the square of the distance between them.
If the distance between two bar magnets is halved, the magnetic force between the 2 bar magnets increase by _____the original strength.
4 times
Electron Spin
electrons spin on their axis while orbiting the nucleus
Magnetic fields are always made when an ______ ______ is in motion
electrical charge
Electrons tend to spin in ______
pairs
Theory of Magnetism
spinning electrons have a magnetic field.
If the electrons are unbalanced in an atom, there will be a ____ _____.
net field
Magnetic Domains
An accumulation of many atomic magnets with their dipoles aligned.
