\section{Magnetism} | ||
\begin{preamb} | ||
Magnets were discovered by who knows who at who knows when. All I know is we have to study them now thanks to lodestone sailor people. | ||
\end{preamb} | ||
\subsection{Magnets} | ||
\pdef{Magnetic Materials}{Magnetic materials are materials that can be attracted to a magnet.} | ||
The four materials you probably remember from primary school are: iron, nickel, cobalt, and steel. | ||
\pdef{Non-magnetic Materials}{Non-magnetic materials are materials that cannot be attracted to a magnet.} | ||
\pdef{Law of Magnetic Poles}{The law of magnetic poles states that like poles repel and unlike poles attract.} | ||
Some properties magnets exhibit are | ||
\begin{itemize} | ||
\item Magnets have two poles: north and south. | ||
\item Magnets point in the north-south direction when suspended. | ||
\item Like poles repel, unlike poles attract. | ||
\end{itemize} | ||
Using the property that magnets can repel, we can do the repulsion test to see if an object is a magnet or just a magnetic material. | ||
|
||
\subsection{Magnetic Induction} | ||
\pdef{Magnetic Induction}{Magnetic induction is the process whereby an object made of a magnetic material becomes a magnet when it is near or in contact with a magnet.} | ||
That means magnetic materials become magnets when in contact or near a magnet. | ||
|
||
\subsection{Magnetisation and Demagnetisation} | ||
\pdef{Theory of Magnetism}{\textit{(This is not in syllabus.)} A magnet is made up of many magnetic domains which are made up of atoms that have a ferromagnetic property.} | ||
\subsubsection{Magnetisation} | ||
You can make a magnet either by stroking it with another magnet, or using electricity to make an electromagnet. | ||
\begin{center} | ||
\begin{tikzpicture} | ||
\draw (0,0) rectangle (3,0.5); | ||
\node[anchor=west] at (0,0.25) {N}; | ||
\node[anchor=east] at (3,0.25) {S}; | ||
\draw[rotate=45] (2,0) node[anchor=south west, rotate=45] {N} rectangle (5,0.5) node[anchor=north east, rotate=45]{S}; | ||
\draw[dashed, -latex] (0.5,0.65) -- (2.5,0.65); | ||
\draw[dashed, -latex] (2.5,0.65) arc (270:360:1); | ||
\draw[dashed, -latex] (-0.5,1.65) arc (180:270:1); | ||
\end{tikzpicture} | ||
\end{center} | ||
The pole that touches the magnetic object first will be the pole of that magnetic object at that point. | ||
|
||
For the electromagnet, refer to chapter 21. | ||
|
||
\subsubsection{Demagnetisation} | ||
To demagnetise a magnet you first have to orient it in the \textbf{east-west direction}. Then there are three ways to do this. | ||
\begin{enumerate} | ||
\item \textbf{Hammering:} Hammering a magnet placed in the east-west direction alters the alignment of the magnetic domains, causing the magnet to lose its magnetism. | ||
\item \textbf{Heating:} Strongly heating a magnet and letting it cool in an east-west orientation will cause the magnet to lose its magnetism. The temperature to heat the magnet up to such that the atoms lose the magnetism is called the Curie temperature. | ||
\item \textbf{Electrical Method:} Place a magnet in a solenoid in the east-west direction and connect an alternating current supply. Withdraw the magnet while the alternating current is flowing in the solenoid until it is some distance away. | ||
\end{enumerate} | ||
|
||
\subsection{Magnetic Fields} | ||
\pdef{Magnetic Field}{A magnetic field is the region surrounding a magnet, in which a body of magnetic material experiences a magnetic force.} | ||
|
||
Magnetic field lines \textbf{cannot cross}. | ||
|
||
The magnetic field of a magnet can be plotted by sprinkling iron filings around it, or plotting it with a plotting compass. | ||
|
||
To use a plotting compass, align a magnet in the north-south direction first. Then using a plotting compass, from the north pole of the magnet, draw a point at where the compass points to. Then continue this and connect the lines. Remember that plotting compasses point in the direction of the field lines. | ||
|
||
For attraction and repulsion of two magnetic poles use this lovely diagram that I could not draw so I had to source it online. | ||
\begin{center} | ||

\end{center} | ||
|
||
\subsection{Temporary and Permanent Magnets} | ||
Magnetic materials can either be ``soft'' or ``hard''. An example of a soft magnetic material is iron. An example of a hard magnetic material is steel. | ||
\begin{itemize} | ||
\item \textbf{Magnetisation} \begin{itemize} | ||
\item Hard magnetic materials are difficult to magnetise and demagnetise. | ||
\item Soft magnetic materials are easier to magnetise and demagnetise. | ||
\end{itemize} | ||
\item \textbf{Uses} \begin{itemize} | ||
\item Hard magnetic materials are used to make permanent magnets. | ||
\item Soft magnetic materials are used to make temporary magnets. | ||
\end{itemize} | ||
\item \textbf{Interaction with Field Lines} \begin{itemize} | ||
\item Hard magnetic materials do not allow magnetic fields to pass through it as easily as soft magnetic materials. | ||
\item Soft magnetic materials allow magnetic fields to pass through it with ease. | ||
\end{itemize} | ||
\end{itemize} | ||
