ELECTROMAGNETISM and
MAGNETIC FIELD LINES
BY: IMENDOZA
Electromagnetism…
A magnet created by electric current
flowing in wires
Electricity & Magnetism…
Every time an electric charge
moves, a magnetic field is created.
Every time a magnetic field varies,
an electric field is created.
Magnetic Field…
The magnetic force that
surrounds a magnetic object at
all points
Magnetic Field Lines…
The arrows used
to show the
direction of the
magnetic force
in a magnetic
field
Magnetic Field Lines…
Always point away
from a magnet’s
NORTH pole
Always point toward
a magnet’s SOUTH
pole
DRAWING Magnetic Field Lines…
Leaves from
the NORTH
pole and ends
at the SOUTH
pole
Magnetic Field Lines in
Multiple Test Magnets…
Strength of Magnetic Forces…
If field lines are close together,
the force is stronger.
If the field lines are farther apart,
the force is weaker.
At which point is the magnetic field
line stronger? Explain your answer.
A
B
North-South Attraction
Magnetic Field Lines
Opposite poles (S-N or N-S) = ATTRACT
N-N/S-S Repulsion
Magnetic Field Lines…
Like poles (N-N or S-S) = REPEL
