Magnetism
Natural Magnets

Natural magnets like lodestone, are
found in nature
Artificial Magnets

Artificial or man made magnets are
made by magnetising:
»Iron
»Nickel
»Cobalt
»Alloys of the above
The Poles

Magnets are strongest at their 2 ends called
the “north pole” and the “south pole”.

Like Poles Repel and Unlike Poles Attract.
Unike Poles Attract
Like Poles Repel
How to Test if Something is a
Magnet?

The true test for determining if
something is a magnet is repulsion.
A Designer Floating Bed
The Earth’s Magnetic Field

The Earth
behaves as if
there is a huge
bar magnet in
its centre giving
it a magnetic
field.
What is a Magnetic Field?

A magnetic field is the space around a
magnet over which it has a magnetic
effect.
How a Compass works?

A freely suspended magnet always
comes to rest with one end pointing I a
northerly direction.
A Compass

A compass contains a freely suspended
magnet which reacts to the magnetic
field of the Earth.
Electricity and Magnetism

Electricity can make a magnet and a
magnet can be used to create
electricity.
A wire with a current flowing
through it has a magnetic field
around it.
An Electromagnet

An electromagnet only is a magnet
when current flows through its coil.
Uses of Magnets








Electric Motors
Electric Bells
Bicycle Dynamo
Transformers
Loudspeakers
CTRs
Computers
Phones

unlike poles ___________
 List two uses of magnets.
 What is a compass and how does it work?
 What is a space around a magnet called?
 Draw a diagram of a bar magnet and
sketch some magnetic field lines around it.
 Show by means of arrows the directions of
the lines of force.
