Magnetism

Magnets have two poles: north and south.
Magnetic forces are strongest at the poles.
Like poles repel (N–N or S–S).
Opposite poles attract (N–S).
Attraction/repulsion between magnetic poles is a non-contact force.

Magnetic field lines showing attraction and repulsion between bar magnets.

Magnetic Materials

Only a few metals are magnetic: iron, cobalt, nickel.
Steel (an alloy containing iron) is also magnetic.
Magnetic materials are attracted to both poles of a magnet.
Non-magnetic materials (e.g., aluminium, plastic) are not affected by a magnet.
A material is a magnet if it repels a known magnet; it is magnetic if it attracts; non-magnetic if neither.

Magnetic materials are attracted to a magnet; non-magnetic materials are not

Permanent Magnets

Made from hard magnetic materials such as steel.
Produces its own magnetic field.
Does not lose its magnetism easily.
Used in: compasses, school lab magnets, toys, fridge magnets.

Compasses and toy trains are examples of the use of permanent magnets

Induced (Temporary) Magnets

Made from soft magnetic materials such as soft iron.
Becomes magnetised only when placed in a magnetic field.
The end closest to the magnet gains the opposite pole.
Loses magnetism quickly when removed from the field.
Used in: electromagnets, transformers.

Inducing magnetism in a magnetic material

Magnetic Fields

A magnetic field is a region where a magnetic pole experiences a force.
Field lines go from north pole to south pole.
Arrows show direction of force on a north pole.
Field is strongest at the poles (lines are closer together).
Field weakens with distance (lines spread apart).

Magnetic field lines around a bar magnet

Plotting Magnetic Fields

Iron filings method: Place paper over magnet, sprinkle filings, tap gently to reveal field pattern.
Plotting compass method: Place compass near magnet, mark needle ends, move compass step by step to trace field lines.
Compass needle points from north to south (north arrow points to south pole of magnet).

Uses of Electromagnets

MRI scanners in hospitals use powerful electromagnets for imaging.
Speakers and earphones use electromagnets to produce sound.
Recycling: Electromagnets separate steel from other scrap.
Mag-Lev trains use repulsion between electromagnets to hover and reduce friction.
