Physics unit 5 Flashcards
1
Q
Ferromagnetic elements
A
Iron, nickel, and Cobalt
Atoms have multiple unpaired ā4dā orbital electrons
2
Q
Magnetic vs Non-Magnetic
A
Magnetic: Domains aligned
Non-magnetic: Domains randomized
3
Q
Properties of magnetic fields
A
- Always form closed circular loops -> only dipoles, no monopoles
- Start at north pole and end at south pole
- Field lines NEVER cross
- Fields can exert torque on magnetic matter, but cannot exert work on it
4
Q
Basic facts : Electricity produces magnetism
A
- DC produces circular B fields around them. B weakens with distance
- Greater the current, greater the field strength
- Solenoids and toroids = current carrying loops w/ B
- Strength of magnetic field inside solenoid increase w/# of wires
- Electromagnetism = relativistic effect
