a magnetic field is a region where magnetic materials experience……
a force
What are magnetic field lines used for?
to show the magnetic field lines
North to south or south to north
North to south
Is the field uniform when placing two magnetics next to each other
yessir
does north attract north
nosir
do both poles attract magnetic materials
yessir
Name 3 magnetic materials
Iron, cobalt, nickel
When magnetic materials are brought near to a magnets magnetic field, that materials…
acts like a magnet
When is the magnetism induced?
When a magnetic material is brought near a magnet.
how do i get to increase the magnetic inducement?
get the magnet close.
what are two ways you could see the magnetic field lines of a bar magnet
1) compasses
2) iron fillings
What does an electric current in a current create
a magnetic field around it
What is the magnetic field dependent on
the direction of the current
what is a straight current carrying wire made up of
concentric circles
what is similar to the magnetic field of a flat circular coil of wire
the magnetic field of a bar magnet
magnetic field of a solenoid
strong and uniform
What would you call a magnetic material if it looses its induced magnetism
soft or hard
example of a soft and hard magnetic?
iron –> soft
Steel –> hard
Why is iron used in transformers
its used because of its property, it can magnetize and demagnetize 50 times a second.
how do I increase the strength of the magnetic field around a solenoid
adding a magnetically soft iron core through the middle of the coil
Explain the motor effect
when a current carrying wire is put between magnetic poles, the two magnetic fields affect one another , this will result force on the wire. This will also cause the wire to move.
will a wire experience a force if it runs along a magnetic field
no
What’s a good way of showing the direction of the force
apply current to the set of rails inside of a horseshoe magnet, a bar is then placed on the rail which completes the circuit.
magnitude?
magnetic strength
