Magnetism
Attractive and Repulsive
What Is A Magnet?
•Magnet: any object that attracts
iron or materials containing iron
1. Two poles
2. Exert forces
3. Surrounded by a
magnetic field
Magnetic Poles
• Every magnet has two poles
The parts of a magnet where the
magnetic effects are the greatest
Magnetic Forces
• The force of repulsion or attraction
between the poles of magnets
Magnetic Fields
• Exist in the region around a
magnet in which magnetic forces
can act
Simulated
Magnetic
Field
Drawing
Actual Iron
Filling
Behavior
Half a Magnet?
• What happens if you cut a magnet
into pieces?
Electromagnetism
• The interaction between
electricity and magnetism
Solenoids
• A coil of wire that produces a
magnetic field when carrying an
electric current
Electromagnets
• Magnet that contains a solenoid
wrapped around an iron core
Hundreds of times stronger due to the
combined magnetism of the solenoid and
the iron core
