Magnetism as a Non-Contact Force

Magnetism is a non-contact force – it acts between objects that are not touching.
A contact force requires objects to be physically touching (e.g., friction).
Non-contact forces are caused by a field; for magnetism, it is a magnetic field.

Magnetic Field Lines

Magnetic field lines point away from the North pole and towards the South pole.
The direction of a field line gives the direction of force on the North pole of another magnet.
Field lines are closer together where the field is stronger (near the poles).
Like poles repel; unlike poles attract.

Visualising Magnetic Fields

Sprinkle iron filings on paper placed over a bar magnet to see the field pattern.
Iron filings align along the field lines and cluster at the poles (strongest field).

Magnetic Metals

The three magnetic metals are iron, nickel, and cobalt.
Steel is magnetic because it contains iron.
Magnetic metals are attracted to permanent magnets but never repelled.

Permanent Magnets

A permanent magnet (e.g., bar magnet) produces its own magnetic field.
A permanent magnet can be demagnetised by: heating, hitting with a hammer, or placing in a reversed magnetic field.

Magnetic field lines around a bar magnet: lines point from N to S, closer together near poles.

## Introduction to Magnetism - **Magnetism is a non-contact force** – it acts between objects that are not touching, caused by a magnetic field. - **Magnetic field lines** show the direction and strength of the field: - They point **away from the North pole** and **towards the South pole**. - The direction gives the force on the North pole of another magnet. - **Closer lines = stronger field** (strongest at the poles). - **Like poles repel, unlike poles attract.** - **Magnetic metals** (attracted but never repelled): **iron, nickel, cobalt**. Steel (contains iron) is also magnetic. Other metals (e.g., copper) are not. - **Demagnetisation**: heat, hammering, or reversed magnetic field. - **Visualising fields**: sprinkle iron filings on paper over a magnet – they align along field lines, concentrating at poles.

Non-contact force: A force that acts between objects not physically touching, caused by a field (e.g., magnetism).
Magnetic field: A region around a magnet where magnetic forces act, represented by field lines.
Magnetic field lines: Lines that show the direction and strength of a magnetic field; point away from North pole and towards South pole; closer lines indicate stronger field.
Pole: The ends of a magnet where the magnetic field is strongest; either North or South.
Like poles repel, unlike poles attract: Two North poles or two South poles push apart; a North and South pole pull together.
Permanent magnet: A magnet that produces its own magnetic field (e.g., bar magnet).
Magnetic metals: Iron, nickel, cobalt (and steel) – attracted to magnets but never repelled.
Demagnetisation: Process of removing magnetism by heating, hammering, or applying a reversed magnetic field.
Iron filings: Small pieces of iron used to visualise magnetic field lines.
