The earth is a giant magnetMagnetic field lines of force leave the north pole and enterthe south pole. What is a magnetic field?

Magnetic field

The space around a magnet where the forces of attraction and repulsion act is the magnetic field. A magnetic

field is made up of lines of force.

What are poles?

The poles represent the part of a magnetic field where the magnetic forces appear to be concentrated.

Iron steel

These materials along with certain other alloys are

called ferromagnetic materials.

Hard or soft material?

Iron has stronger induced magnetism.

Steel has a weaker induced magnetism.

Hard or soft?

Iron is a magnetically soft material. Strong but temporary!Steel is a magnetically hard material. Weak but permanent!

Induced magnetism

Making magnetsSingle touch method

The end where the stroking pole leaves the bar becomes the opposite pole.

Making magnetsDouble touch method

The end where the stroking pole leaves the bar becomes the opposite pole.

Making magnets: can a magnet have similar poles at its ends?

Consequent poles

The end where the stroking pole leaves the bar becomes the opposite pole.

The Domain Theory of magnets

Magnetic material In demagnetized condition

Magnetic material In magnetized condition

Dipoles in magnetic domains

Domain theory explains:1.Demagnetization: mechanical vibrations can

cause demagnetization2. Magnetic saturation: strength of a magnet

cannot be increased beyond a certain limit.3. Breaking a magnet: breaking a magnet the broken ends maintain the poles.

Magnetic effect of current

electromagnet

To tell the poles: 1. face the coil, trace the direction of current flow, if it is anticlockwise then that is the North poleIf it is clockwise then that is the South pole2.Use right hand grip rule, the thumb points to the N, the end is the S

Direction of the magnetic field

The right hand grip rule

Grip the wire with your right hand, the field lines will go in the direction of the fingers.

Magnetic effect of an electric current
