William Gilbert and the Science of Magnetism Sir William Gilbert lived in England in the 1500s. He is remembered today for his investigations into electricity and magnetism. In fact, he is sometimes credited with founding the science of magnetism. He published descriptions of his many investigations in a book called De Magnete or “On the Magnet.” In this book, he described carrying out many investigations using lodestone in the shape of a sphere, or “little Earth.” Through his experiments, Gilbert became the first person to describe magnetic attraction in terms very similar to the way modern scientists describe a magnetic field. Gilbert was the first to use the terms magnetic pole and magnetic force. He showed through experimentation that a magnet exerts a force through a distance – a force that does not involve touching. He showed that the strength of a magnet could be increased if pieces of soft iron were added at the magnet’s poles. He also showed if an iron magnet is red hot, the magnet loses its magnetism. Another notion he advanced was the Earth itself is a giant magnet. This is an idea that modern scientists know to be true. 9.

In what ways are Earth and a bar magnet alike? ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 22. Draw a magnetic field around the illustration of the bar magnet shown here. Magnetic Properties of Elements Ferromagnetic materials are made up of regions known as domains. Within each domain, the magnetic fields of all the atoms are lined up in the same direction. When exposed to a magnetic field, the domains tend to line up with the field. Due to the existence of domains, ferromagnetic materials are easily magnetized. Their ease of magnetization is represented by a large whole number. (This number is a ratio. It has no units.) Paramagnetic materials do not have magnetic domains, and their atoms tend to line up individually with a magnetic field. For this reason, paramagnetic materials are much more difficult to magnetize than ferromagnetic materials. Their ease of magnetization is represented by very small numbers. Diamagnetic materials have no magnetic domains. Therefore, their atoms do not easily align with a magnetic field. Their ease of magnetization is represented by very small numbers. However, they are different from paramagnetic materials because their atoms align in a direction opposite to the magnetic field.
