go find a magnet and a couple iron nails or needles. Any fridge magnet will do. take the magnet and stroke it in one direction along the nail. The stronger the magnet, the stronger the effect. See if the stroked nail/needle now attracts the other nail/needle. What happens?

What's happening in the nail is that that all those magnetic domains are scattered higgledy-piggledy in all directions. By exposing the domains to a magnet stroking along the surface of the nail, you care coaxing all those little domain to align with the motion of the magnet. use the nail to attract different bits of iron for a bit, and you will notice the effect wear off. What do you think it happening that makes the needle not a magnet?

The previous image shows gravitational field lines, They show the direction of the force created by the mass of the planet. Magnetic field lines are similar, but their field lines are

Current carrying wires create magnetic fields, but those magnet field loops go in a very specific direction. When you put the thumb of your right hand towards the direction of the current, look at the direction of your other four fingers - they curl in a circle. That circle is the direction of the magnetic field lines induced by the current.

A vertical wire carries a current straight down. To the east of this wire, the magnetic field points. Use the right hand rule as shown here.

Circular magnetic field lines don't seem overly useful, but you can do lots of things with wires. Let's say we wrap a wire in a coil.

in your mind's eye, let your thumb move along this coil. What happens to you your magnetic field lines shown by your other fingers as you move along the coil?

having an iron bolt is important to having a strong electromagnet, but a coil without a iron core will work too, but not be nearly so strong. why do you think that is?

do you think this electromagnet would work if there was no insulation on the wire in the coil? why or why not?

A magnet produces a magnetic field. Which diagram shows the magnetic field pattern around a bar magnet? Select the correct diagram by checking the box to the right of the diagram. Pay special attention to which way the arrows are pointing in each diagram.

If a bar magnet were thrown through a coil of wires, the magnet would slow down. Why?

26.

The ratio of the volts to number of turns on the primary coil has to equal the ratio of volts to turns of the secondary coil. A cd player requires twelve volts to operate. A transformer with 500 turns on the primary turns 120 volts into 12 volts. How many turns should the secondary have?

How are you feeling about each of these?

  • what is a magnet

  • what is a domain in magnetism

  • field lines

  • inducing current with magnets

  • inducing magnetic fields with electricity

  • motors vs generators

  • difference between AC and DC power

  • how transformers work

  • calculating the number of turns to get the right step up/step down

  • I got this

  • I'm fuzzy

  • so confused

Are all iron objects magnetic - as in do they create a magnetic field and attract/repulse objects

We started electrostatics by comparing the force between two charges to the gravitational force between two planets. We discussed that the equations for the forces themselves are very similar. Consider the following image showing a gravitational field near the earth and the moon.

What do you think happens at point N?

When we discussed circuits, we mentioned a capacitor. A capacitor is just two plates with a something between them. Charge builds on one side, and the opposite charge builds on the other side. This would create an electric field line that looks like this

What would you guess a compass placed in this field would do?
