பாட குறிப்புகள்
Magnetic and Non-Magnetic Materials
- Only iron, cobalt, nickel, and steel (an alloy containing iron) are magnetic.
- Magnetic materials are attracted to a magnet; non-magnetic materials are not.
- A magnetic material (not a magnet) is attracted to both poles of a permanent magnet.
- To test a material: if repelled by a known magnet, it is a magnet; if attracted, it is a magnetic material; if neither, it is non-magnetic.
Magnetic materials

Forces Between Magnetic Poles
- Every magnet has a north pole and a south pole; magnetic forces are strongest at the poles.
- Like poles repel: north–north or south–south push apart.
- Opposite poles attract: north–south pull together.
- The force between a magnet and a magnetic material is always attractive due to induced magnetism.
Poles of a Magnet

Induced Magnetism
- An induced magnet is a material (e.g., soft iron) that becomes a magnet temporarily in a magnetic field.
- The end of the material nearest the magnet acquires the opposite pole to the magnet’s pole.
- When removed from the field, the material loses its magnetism quickly.
- Induced magnetism always causes attraction between the magnet and the material.
Inducing magnetism in a magnetic material

Permanent and Temporary Magnets
- Permanent magnets (e.g., steel) produce their own magnetic field and do not lose magnetism easily.
- Temporary (induced) magnets (e.g., soft iron) are magnetic only while in an external field.
- An electromagnet consists of coils of wire around a soft iron core; it can be switched on/off.
- Strength of an electromagnet can be increased by: increasing current, increasing number of turns, or adding a soft iron core.

Uses of Magnets
- Permanent magnets are used in compasses, fridge magnets, toys, and school experiments.
- Electromagnets are used in MRI scanners, speakers, recycling (lifting scrap metal), and Mag-Lev trains.
Uses of permanent magnets

Magnetic Fields
- A magnetic field is a region where a magnetic pole experiences a force.
- Field lines go from north to south; arrows show the direction of force on a north pole.
- Field is strongest at the poles (lines are closer together) and weakens with distance (lines spread out).
- The direction of the field at a point is the direction of the force on a north pole placed there.
