Chapter 8: Magnetism

• Magnetism– Natural Magnets

• Electricity and Magnetism– Electromagnets

• Using and Producing Electricity– Generators and Motors

• Production and Distribution of Electricity– Transformers

• Thousands of years ago, people noticed that a mineral called magnetite attracted other pieces of magnetite and bits of iron.

• They discovered that when they rubbed small pieces of iron with magnetite, the iron began to act like magnetite.

• When these pieces were free to turn, one end pointed north. Lodestone use for navigation.

Early Uses

• Magnets attract objects made of iron or steel, such as nails and paper clips.

• Magnets also can attract or repel other magnets.

Magnets

• Every magnet has two ends, or poles.

• One end is called the north pole and the other is the south pole.

• Two north poles or two south poles repel each other. Like Repel

• North and south magnetic poles are attracted to each other. Unlike Attract

Magnets

• Where the magnetic field lines are close together, the field is strong.

• Field lines that curve toward each other show attraction.

The Magnetic Field

• Field lines that curve away from each other show repulsion.

• A magnet is surrounded by a magnetic field that enables the magnet to exert a magnetic force.

• A moving electric charge creates a magnetic field.

Making Magnetic Fields

• Inside every magnet are moving charges. • All atoms contain

negatively charged particles called electrons.


• Not only do these electrons swarm around the nucleus of an atom, they also spin.

• Because of its movement, each electron produces a magnetic field.


• A group of atoms, with their fields pointing in the same direction, is called a magnetic domain.

• Normally, these domains are oriented randomly and their magnetic fields cancel each other.

• When a strong magnet is brought near the material, the domains line up, and their magnetic fields add together.

• Microscopic sections of iron and steel act as tiny magnets.



Earth's Magnetic Field

• The shape of Earth's magnetic field is similar to that of a huge bar magnet tilted about 11º from Earth's geographic north and south poles.

• A compass needle is a small bar magnet with a north and south magnetic pole.

The Compass

• In a magnetic field, a compass needle rotates until it is aligned with the magnetic field line at its location.

• Earth's magnetic field also causes a compass needle to rotate.

The Compass

• The north pole of the compass needle points toward Earth's magnetic pole that is in the north.

• The magnetic pole in the north is actually a magnetic south pole.

• Because of its movement, each electron produces a magnetic field.


• A group of atoms, with their fields pointing in the same direction, is called a magnetic domain.



Current Can Make a Magnet

• Magnetic fields are produced by moving electric charges.

• When electric current flows in a wire, electric charges move in the wire.

• As a result, a wire that contains an electric current also is surrounded by a magnetic field.

Electromagnets• A current-carrying

wire wrapped around an iron core is called an electromagnet.

• An electric doorbell uses an electromagnet.

• By changing the current, the strength and direction of the magnetic field of an electromagnet can be change.

Using Electromagnets

• The magnetic field of an electromagnet is turned on or off when the electric current is turned on or off.

• By changing the current, the strength and direction of the magnetic field of an electromagnet can be change.

Current

Magnets Push and Pull Currents

• Current-carrying wires produce a magnetic field.

• This magnetic field behaves the same way as the magnetic field that a magnet produces.

Magnets Push and Pull Currents

• Two current-carrying wires can attract each other as if they were two magnets.

Electric Motor• Magnetic field like

the one shown will push a current-carrying wire upward.

• Any device that converts electric energy into kinetic energy is a motor.

Electric Motor

• To keep a motor running, the current-carrying wire is formed into a loop so the magnetic field can force the wire to spin continually.

Using Magnets to Create Current• If a wire is pulled

through a magnetic field, the electrons in the wire also move downward.

• The magnetic field exerts a force on the moving electrons, causing them to move along the wire.

Using Magnets to Create Current• A device called a generator uses a magnetic

field to turn motion into electricity. • Electric motors and electric generators both

involve conversions between electric energy and kinetic energy.

• In a generator, kinetic energy is changed into electric energy.

• When a wire is made to move through a magnetic field, an electric current is produced in the wire.

• Where the magnetic field lines are close together, the field is strong.

• Field lines that curve toward each other show attraction.

The Magnetic Field

• Field lines that curve away from each other show repulsion.

Using Magnets to Create Current• If a wire is pulled

• The magnetic field exerts a force on the moving electrons, causing them to move along the wire.

Electric Generators

• In a generator, an energy source spins a wire loop in a magnetic field.

• Every half turn, the current will reverse direction.

Electric Generators

• This causes the current to alternate from positive to negative.

• Such a current is called an alternating current (AC).

• In the United States, electric current change from positive to negative to positive to positive 60 times each seconds.

Types of Current

• In a direct current (DC) electrons flow in one direction. Wet cells and dry cells produce DC current.

• In an alternating current, electrons change their direction of movement many times each second.

• Some generators are built to produce direct current instead of alternating current.

Power Plants• Electric generators produce almost all of the

electric energy used all over the world. • Different energy sources are used to provide the

kinetic energy to rotate coils of wire in a magnetic field.

• Burning fuels

• Coal, Natural Gas

• Moving Fluid

• hydroelectric, wind turbines

• Nuclear Energy

Power Plants

• Coal-burning power plants are the most common.

• This picture is deceiving.

• Problems

• Dirty to mine

• Dirty to burn

• We will run out

• Global Warming

Making, Distributing,

Using Electrical Energy

Voltage• Voltage is a measure of how much energy

the electric charges in a current are carrying.

• The electric transmission lines transmit electric energy at a high voltage of about 230,000V.

• Device are needed to increase and reduce the voltage.

• Electrical Power is generated at a voltage of about 2,400 Volts.

• Electrical Power is used at a voltage of about 240 Volts

Changing Voltage

• Transformers are used to increase the voltage before transmitting an electric current through the power lines. Step Up Transformer

• Other transformers are used to decrease the voltage to the level needed for home or industrial use. Step Down Transformer

• A transformer is a device that changes the voltage of an alternating current with little loss of energy.

Changing Voltage• A transformer

has two coils of wire wrapped around an iron core.

• One coil is connected to an alternating current source. Primary Secondary

The Transformer Ratio• Whether a

transformer increases or decreases the input voltage depends on the number of coils on each side of the transformer.

Primary Secondary

The Transformer Ratio

• In a transformer the voltage is greater on the side with more coils.

• If the number of coils on the input side is less than the number on the output side, the voltage is increased.

• If the number of coils on the input side is more than the number on the output side, the voltage is decreased.

Definition 2• Galvanometer- a device for measuring

electrical current. Also called an ampmeter.• Electric motor- a device that uses a

electromagnet in the field of a permanent magnet to produce rotational motion.

Definition 3• Electric generator – a device that changes the

motion of a coil rotating in the field of a permanent magnet to produce an electric current.

• The current produced by a generator changes direction twice in each revolution of the coil. The current produced by a generator is called Alternating Current.

• With modifications a generator can produce direct current.
