Q

THE LAWS OF MAGNETISM

A

Magnets can exert forces on other magnets
Like poles (n and n also s and s) repel
Opposite poles attract
Magnets can exert forces on unmagnetised magnetic materials
Both poles always attract unmagnetised magnetic materials.

Q

LAWS OF MAGNETISM EXPERIMENT:

A

1.take 2 watch glasses and arrange a bar magnet on the top.
2. Take another magnet and bring the 2 north poles together notate what happens (do not bring them close together so that they ‘stick’ together/repel away).
3.bring south and south together and notate what happens (do not bring them close together so that they attract together/repel away)
4. Bring the North Pole to the South Pole notate what happens (do not bring them close together so that they ‘stick’ together/ repel apart)
5. substitute bar magnet for unmagnetised iron nail and bring the North Pole, then the south after, to the unmagnetised iron nail notate what happens (do not bring them close together so that they attach together/ repel apart)

Q

Experiment to test for whether a magnetic material is a magnet or non-magnetic material

A
  1. Take a bar magnet (permanent) and bring close to material if both the north and south ends attract to the bar magnet then the material is a magnetic material.
  2. Non-magnetic materials don’t attract or repel when near a permanent magnet.
  3. Take a permanent magnet and bring close to material
    If 1 end repels and 1 attracts to permanent magnet then material is a magnet

Q

Experiment for magnetism

A

IF object/material + bar magnet = attracts, it is a magnet.
ON THE OTHER HAND, IF object/material + bar magnet = NOT REPEL (the object/material can only attract or repel it is a magnet) nothing happens, then it is nota magnz et or magnetised material

Q

Experiment: strength of magnet

A
  1. Weigh iron block with no extra force actions on it use weight as control variable
    2.clamp a bar magnet above the iron block (5mm) note the mass.
    3, repeat but make the distance 10mm, 15mm etc (5 up each time) and measure mass each time.

Q

MAGNETIC FIELD

A

The space around a magnet where forces are felt.
Can be plotted and drawn as a diagram
Diagram of magnetic field gives information about the size and direction of the magnetic force.

Q

Plot and draw magnetic fields

Study These Flashcards
A

Use iron filings:
1, pour iron filings onto paper with bar magnet underneath
2, gently tap edge of paper until lines start appearing.
3, The lines of magnetic field may not be fully formed - need large paper.

Using compass:
1, stick the bar magnet down on paper.
2, choose a point touching the magnet and draw a dot
3, use compass, align the north needle with the dot and draw another dot where the end of the needle (south) is pointing
4, repeat all round the magnet.

A

A

..know how to interpret field diagrams

22
Q

Compass - how it works

Study These Flashcards
A

Arrow inside of it = a small and vey lightmagnet with poles
Low weight helps it to rotate freely.
Arrow points in the directions of the MAGNETIC FORCE MAGNETIC FORCE
North + south = attract
North-seeking pole of compass doesn’t point directly to South Pole.
SEE PHOTOS - MAGNETISM PHYSICS-2ND FROM

23
Q

Earth has…

Study These Flashcards
A

It’s own magnetic field.
The motion of liquid iron outer core generates Earth’s magnetic field
On a compass/ really light magnet with no friction/ forces acting against it, the North Pole is actually the north-seekingpole meaning it seeks north and because earths poles are flipped it means the north-seeking pole is pointing to earths South Pole
See photos magnetism physicsi 2nd form

Q

A compass points…

Study These Flashcards

How to make **temporary** magnet and electromagnet:
1.Take 1metre of insulated copper wire and wind it around an iron nail make sure you have 10cm of wire either end of coil (equal length) make sure copper wire is pushed in together. 2. Take copper wire off and attach either end of wire with crocodile clips to a wire and then to a power supply in the side saying D.C. (Direct contact 3. Set power supply to 3 and don’t turn on, use compasses either side of copper wire record results. 4. Turn on power and see how compasses change record results. 5, has become temporary magnet (when electricity is flowing through it). SEE MAGNETISM PHYSICS -2ND FORM PHOTOS please. ELECTROMAGNET: the link between electricity and magnetism
26
How to make a compass
1. Get a bar magnet and leave it there on that desk to rotate north BUT it won’t because the friction between the magnet and desk oppose the motion of the bar magnet hence friction **can** compare pt the force of earth’s magnetic field upon the bar magnet. So: 1, Place magnet in two watch glasses like so: 🌗 🌓 🧭the black is the watch glasses and the compass is the bar magnet. 2 The magnet should spin by itself but if it doesn’t after a while, nudge it gently 3.note direction the North Pole of the magnet points and compare to real life google’s north/compasses north (away from magnets and watches etc.) 4. See accuracy
27
Permanent magnet vs Temporary magnet
PERMANENT: **Hard** magnetic materials like steel that are almost **impossible** to demagnetize and magnetize TEMPORARY: **Soft** magnetic materials like iron that are **easy** to demagnetize and magnetize When picking up a magnetic material it will induce opposite poles so the magnet and material attract.
28
Making a permanent magnet
1. Take a steel pin and use a bar magnet to stroke the pin with ***north** end of magnet in a wide arc many times, lifting the magnet high when returning to the beginning of the stroke - *one touch method* 2.use working compass to check that the pin has one north and South Pole See MAGNETISM PHYSICS - 2ND FORM REVUISION IN PHOTOS PLEASE.
29
Hard magnetism
A Magnetic material that is hard to demagnitize and magnitize aka permanent magnet e.g. steel
30
Soft magnetism
When magnetic material is easy to demagnetize and magnetize aka will become temporary magnet e.g. iron
31
Destroying magnets
(Aka demagnetising the magnet) Destroy by: Heating magnet Hitting magnet See MAGNETISM PHYSICS - 2ND FROM IN HOTOS REVISION PLEASE.
32
DOMAIN THEORY
Domain = group of atoms with magnetic poles, represented as arrow, the top of the arrow being north end. SEE MAGNETISM PHYSICS REVISION - 2ND FORM IN PHOTOS
33
To make an electromagnet:
Wrap coils of wire around an iron core (iron nail for even more simple experiment) with an electric current flowing through the coils of wire (not through the core AKA the nail in even more simple experiment).
34
To make a **solenoid**
1.Wrap coils of wire around an iron core with an electric current flowing through the wire (not through core). 2. Remove core. 3. **If there is still a magnetic field around the coil of wire whilst an electric current flow then it is a solenoid now (if this happens and there is *no* core)**

Uses of magnets
Fridge magnet purse clasp compass
38
Dependent variable
Changes **depending** on the independent variable
39
Independent variable
The thing **you choose** to change
40
Control variable
Thing/s that stays the same to keep experiment **as ‘fair’/ even as possible**
41
‘Fair’/ Equal test
Keeping the same things the same each time you do the test. Keep everything the same except the independent variable (dependent variable will change automatically because of independent)
42
Range
The lowest to the highest number (not including anomalies - abruptly different result/s).
43
Interval
Gap between readings/ The gap between two lines on a measuring cup
44
See booklet for experiments
45
Difference between solenoid and electromagnet
Solenoid = magnetic field around a coil of wire when an electric current flows yet there is no core (iron nail here). Electromagnet is the same but **with** a core (iron nail here). **Iron** is a **soft magnetic metal** also a soft magnetic material **Steel** is a **hard magnetic metal** also a hard magnetic material
