Science GA 1.3 Flashcards
Before the term magnet was used. Found by Greeks more than 2000 years ago in a coastal district of ancient Thessaly, Greece. These iron-rich ores had an amazing property of attracting pieces of iron
Lodestones
He made the first artificial magnet
William Gilbert
Made an experiment and demonstrated in his class that a compass was being deflected when it was placed near a current-carrying wire. This was the birth of combining electricity and magnetism or electromagnetism after a long time of studying electricity and magnetism independently
Hans Cristian Oersted
Suggested that electric current could exert a magnetic force and a current-carrying wire produced a magnetic field. He found out that when the currents of the wires are in the same direction, the two wires attract each other while they repel if the currents are in opposite directions because of the action-reaction magnetic force produced by these currents
Andre Marie Ampere
Currents that are Facing the Same Direction
They attract each other
Currents that are Facing Opposite Directions
They repel each other
Particles with electric charge interact by an electric force. Charged particles in motion produce and respond to magnetic forces as well
Electromagnetism
This region around the charged particle exerts a force on other charged particles either attracting or repelling them
Electric Field
This region around the magnet where magnetic effects can be detected
Magnetic Field
Used to plot magnetic field patterns
Compass
When two strong magnets are arranged such that their opposite poles are facing each other, their magnetic fields combine
Attraction
It is used to find the direction of the magnetic field using your right thumb in the direction of the current in the wire and curling your fingers. Your fingers will be curled in the same direction as the magnetic field around the wire
Curl Right Hand Rule
When two strong magnets are arranged such that the same poles are facing each other, their magnetic fields deter
Repulsion
Are devices consisting of a core of magnetic material surrounded by a coil through which an electric current is passed to magnetize the core. Is used wherever controllable magnets are required, as in contrivances in which the magnetic flux is to be varied, reversed, or switched on and off
Electromagnets
-Is the production of voltage across an electric conductor situated in a changing magnetic field or a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field
-Was first investigated by Faraday in 1831 when he successfully induced current in a cylindrical coil of copper wire.
