VARIETY OF MAGNETIC FIELD IN DIFFERENT TYPE OF MAGNET

N S

Bar Magnets get their magnetism from spinning electrons. The spin axis of these electrons align. This is called Ferromagnetism

The direction of the magnetic field vector at any point in space is easily found by using a smaller magnet. This smaller magnet we call a compass.

If we draw the field lines that correspond to these field vectors, they would look like this.

Bar Magnets

FIELD OF A BAR MAGNET

Field lines start at N and end at S

Notice

no infinity!

If we draw the field lines of a bar magnet, they look like this.

Horseshoe Magnets

FIELD OF A HORSESHOE MAGNET

Stronger at Poles

FRIDGE MAGNET

Material like many horseshoe magnets Domains

FRIDGE MAGNET: IS FRIDGE MAGNETIC?

What are magnetic materials? Why do magnets stick to magnetic materials?

MAGNETISM: MACROSCOPIC VIEW FERROMAGNETIC DOMAINS

Arrows Point from North to South Individual Little Magnets

Unpolarized Ferro-magnet Fridge, Chunk of Iron, etc

Polarized Material Bar Magnet, Compass Needle, Earth

How to Polarize : Use magnetic Field! magnet polarizes nearby magnetic material (Think Charge) always attractive

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A MAGNET IS CUT IN TWO PIECES

A magnet is simply a material that has the currents in the atom going around the same way. So our model

of a magnet looks something like this:

Now, if we cut the magnet in half and take the other half away we have:

Even one atom has a north and a south pole, as the eld lines never end. They just loop on one another!

EARTHS MAGNETIC FIELD PHENOMENA

EARTHS MAGNETIC FIELD RESEMBLES THAT OF A BAR MAGNET

A compass is just a magnet that aligns itself with earths magnetic field

GEOGRAPHIC NORTH IS ACTUALLY A MAGNETIC SOUTH POLE

(north)

(south)

Your compass points toward the magnetic pole, not the geographic pole This error needs to be adjusted for when navigating

Declination: angle between magnetic and geographic poles

THE MAGNETIC POLES ARE MOVING

EARTHS MAGNETIC POLES SWITCH

North and south reverse roughly every 250,000 years (we might be experiencing a reversal now)

MAGNETISM COMES FROM ELECTRONS IN MOTION

Each electron has its own magnetic field associated with its spin
In most materials, paired electrons cancel each others magnetic field The result is no overall magnetic field for this kind of material
