 MAGNETISM
 Magnetic fields are the observable manifestation of magnetism, created by magnets as their
fundamental source.
 Invisible force that pulls or pushes certain materials.
MAGNETS
• primary function is to generate magnetic field around itself.
• have North and South Pole.
• The force that magnets exert on one another are similar to electric forces, for they can both attract and
repel without touching, depending on which end of the magnets are held near one another. For
magnets, like poles repel and opposite poles attract.
MAGNETIC FIELD
• the region around a magnet where the force is present.
• are represented by lines of force which are imaginary that map the direction of the field. They form
closed loops, meaning they have no beginning or end.
• The closeness of the magnetic field lines tells us about the strength of the magnetic field in that area.
The more closely packed lines indicate a stronger magnetic field. As the magnetic field spread out, the
force weakens. The strength of the North Pole is the same as the South Pole.
 Earth behaves like a giant magnet, because the earth’s core is believed to be made of iron and
nickel giving the earth its own magnetic field.
 The earth’s magnetic field is shaped like that of a bar magnet around it. The magnetic poles of the
earth are not aligned with its geographic poles. The south pole of the Earth’s magnet is in the
geographic North Pole (Magnetic North). The North Pole of the Earth’s magnet is in the geographic
south (magnetic South). The magnetic field axis is about 11 degrees to the left of the earth’s spin
axis. The magnetic field is from North to South.

  Compass is a small magnet pivoted at its center so that it can spin and indicate the direction of a
magnetic field. A compass anywhere on the surface of earth will always point north because it is
attracted to the magnetic south pole up there.

ELECTROMAGNETISM
“ELECTRICITY CAN PRODUCE MAGNETISM”
HANS CHRISTIAN OERSTED
 A Physicist who first discovered that electric current produces a magnetic field around a wire.
 When electricity flows it creates an invisible field around it called magnetic field.
- this principle is used to create electromagnets by wrapping a wire around a core of iron and passing
an electric current through the wire, you can create a strong magnetic field.
- Electromagnets are used in electric motors, loudspeakers, television sets, doorbells, trains etc.

“MAGNETISM CAN PRODUCE ELECTRICITY”

MICHAEL FARADAY
 discovers the electromagnetic induction.
 If you move a magnet near a wire, you can actually make electricity flow in that wire. Its like the
magnet is giving electricity a little push.
- this principle is the basis for how generators work.
- Generators use spinning magnets to create a constantly changing magnetic field which then
induces an electric current in coils of wire.
