Section 1 Magnets and Magnetic
Fields
Magnets
• Magnets attract iron-containing objects.
• Magnets have two distinct poles called the north pole
and the south pole. These names are derived from a
magnet’s behavior on Earth.
• Like poles of magnets repel each other; unlike poles
attract each other.

Properties of Magnets
 Magnets have two
opposite poles.
— north
— south
 Magnets exert forces on
each other.
 The forces depend on the
alignment of the poles.
Magnets and Magnetic Fields
Magnets have two ends – poles – called
north and south.
Like poles repel; unlike poles attract.
Magnets and Magnetic Fields
However, if you cut a magnet in half, you don’t
get a north pole and a south pole – you get two
smaller magnets.
Chapter 19
Magnetic Fields
• A magnetic field is a region in which a
magnetic force can be detected.
• Magnetic field lines can be drawn with
the aid of a compass.
Magnets and Magnetic Fields
Magnetic fields can be visualized using
magnetic field lines, which are always closed
loops.
Chapter 19
Section 1 Magnets and Magnetic
Fields
The Direction of a Magnetic Field
Field lines are conventionally drawn FROM the
north pole TO the south pole.
The direction of a magnetic field at any
location is the direction that the north pole
of a compass at that location would point.
(The arrow head represents the north pole of a
magnet and points to the nearest south pole).

Properties of magnets
 Materials that make good
permanent magnets are
called hard magnets.
 Steel, which contains iron
and carbon, is a common
and inexpensive material
used to create hard
magnets.
 Materials that lose their
magnetism quickly are
called soft magnets.
The Magnetic Field of the Earth
How do we use Earth’s
magnetic field to tell
direction?
The Magnetic Field of the Earth
 As early as 500 B.C. people
discovered that some naturally
occurring materials— such as
lodestone and magnetite—have
magnetic properties.
 By 1200, explorers from Italy were
using a compass to guide ocean
voyages beyond the sight of land.
The Magnetic Field of the Earth
 The Earth’s magnetic
poles are defined by the
planet’s magnetic field.
 That means the south
magnetic pole of the
planet is near the north
geographic pole.
 When you use a compass,
the north-pointing end of
the needle points toward
a spot near (but not
exactly at) the Earth’s
geographic north pole.

• Earth’s magnetic field is similar to that of a bar
magnet.
• The magnetic south pole is near the Geographic
North Pole. The magnetic north pole is near the
Geographic South Pole.
• Magnetic declination is a measure of the difference
between true north and north indicated by a
compass.

The Why & How of Magnets
 The sources of nearly all
magnetic effects in matter
are the electrons in atoms.
 There are two ways in which
electrons create magnetism:
1. Electrons’ motion around
the nucleus makes the
entire atom a small
magnet.
2. Electrons themselves act
as though they were
magnets.
The Why & How of Magnets
 All atoms have electrons, so you might think that all
materials should be magnetic, but there is great
variability in the magnetic properties of materials.
 The electrons in some atoms align to cancel out
one another’s magnetic influence.
 While all materials show some kind of magnetic
effect, the magnetism in most materials is too weak
to detect without highly sensitive instruments.
Iron, Cobalt, Nickel

Magnesium
Note: Magnetism is a
property not just of the
chemical make-up of a
material, but of its crystalline
structure and microscopic
organization.
The Why & How of Magnets
 In diamagnetic materials,
the electrons are oriented
so their individual
magnetic fields cancel
each other out within an
atom.
 Individual atoms in
paramagnetic materials
are magnetic but the atoms
themselves are randomly
arranged so the overall
magnetism of a sample is
zero.
But when paramagnetic
materials are placed in a
magnetic field, the atoms align
so that the material is weakly
magnetic.
The Why & How of Magnets
 A small group of metals
have very strong magnetic
properties, including iron,
nickel, and cobalt.
 These metals are the best
known examples of
ferromagnetic materials.
 Atoms with similar
magnetic orientations line
up with neighboring atoms
in groups called magnetic
domains.
Induced Magnetism
" Metals that are ferromagnetic have atoms
that behave like mini magnets, but on a
grand scale they cancel out. When placed in
external magnetic field, these can be lined up
and the metal then becomes magnetized.
Magnetizing Iron
Magnetic domains in iron nails are
induced to align by proximity of
the strong magnet
Each nail becomes itself a magnet,
which in turn magnetizes the nail
below it, forming a chain.
When the strong magnet is
removed, most of the domains unalign and the nails lose most of
their magnetization.
Demagnetizing Iron
Magnetic domains can be scrambled by
heating the iron, striking it with great force,
or other disruptions of alignment.

N
Demagnetizing Iron
Iron nail is attracted to
the large magnet due to
alignment of domains in
the nail.
Heat the nail to a high
temperature and the
domains become
randomized so the nail is
no longer attracted to
the magnet.
The Why & How of Magnets
 Magnetic domains in a ferromagnetic material will always
orient themselves to attract a permanent magnet.
— If a north pole approaches, domains grow that have south
poles facing out.
— If a south pole approaches, domains grow that have north
poles facing out.
Chapter 19
Section 1 Magnets and Magnetic
Fields
Magnetic Domains
• Magnetic Domain
A region composed of a group of atoms whose
magnetic fields are aligned in the same direction is
called a magnetic domain.
• Some materials can be made into permanent
magnets.
– Soft magnetic materials (for example iron) are
easily magnetized but tend to lose their
magnetism easily.
– Hard magnetic materials (for example nickel) tend
to retain their magnetism.

Names of some magnetic materials
Examples of ferromagnetic materials: iron,
cobalt, nickel
Examples of paramagnetic materials:
aluminum, manganese, chromium, oxygen,
sodium, lithium
Examples of diamagnetic materials: water,
pyrolitic graphite, copper, gold, bismuth
Diamagnetism
• Diamagnetism is the property of an object or material
which causes it to create a magnetic field in
opposition to an externally applied magnetic field.
Diamagnetism
• Diamagnetism is the property of an object or material
which causes it to create a magnetic field in
opposition to an externally applied magnetic field.
• Diamagnetism is believed to be due to quantum
mechanics (and is understood in terms of Landau
levels) and occurs because the external field alters the
orbital velocity of electrons around their nuclei, thus
changing the magnetic dipole moment. According to
Lenz’s law, the field of these electrons will oppose
the magnetic field changes provided by the applied
field.
Magnetism: Lesson 2
On July 21, 1820, Hans Oersted, professor of
physics at Copenhagen, delivered a lecture to
students. By chance, a wire leading to a voltaic
pile was nearly parallel to & above a compass that
happened to be on the table. When the circuit
was closed, the needle swung around almost
perpendicular to the current carrying wire, as if
gripped by a powerful magnet.
Andre Marie Ampere heard the news &
immediately performed some experiments of his
own. Within two weeks, Ampere showed that a
current-carrying wire always induces a magnetic
force that acts at right angles to the current.

For each of the following 3 particles, state
whether the particle’s charge is positive,
negative, or zero.
For each of the following 3 particles,
state whether the particle’s charge is
positive, negative, or zero.
Solution
Particle 3 follows the path given by the righthand rule. So #3 is positive.
Particle 1 is opposite that, so #1 is negative.
Particle 2 is un-deflected so there must be no
force on it, which means the charge is 0.
Centripetal Force
• Note that the force on a moving charged
particle through a uniform magnetic field is
a centripetal force.
Remember,
centripetal force
causes a change in
direction, not a
change in speed (so
magnitude of v stays
the same).

Force on a Current-Carrying Wire
If conducting charges move through a wire with an
average speed v, the time required for them to move
from one end of the wire to the other (length, l) is
Δt = l /v (since velocity = distance/Δt = l/Δt).
The amount of charge that flows through the wire in
this time is q = IΔt = Il /v. Therefore, the force
exerted on the wire is
F = q vB = (Il /v) vB
so
F = Il B
