5. Magnetism Introduction Section 0 Lecture 1 Slide 5 Lecture 32 Slide 5 INTRODUCTION TO Modern Physics PHYX 2710 Fall 2004 Physics of Technology—PHYS 1800 Spring 2009 Magnets and the Magnetic Force We are generally more familiar with magnetic forces than with electrostatic forces. Like the gravitational force and the electrostatic force, this force acts even when the objects are not touching one another. Is there a relationship between electrical effects and magnetism? Maxwell discovered that the electrostatic force and the magnetic force are really just different aspects of one fundamental electromagnetic force. Our understanding of that relationship has led to numerous inventions such as electric motors, electric generators, transformers, etc. James Clerk Maxwell

8. Introduction Section 0 Lecture 1 Slide 8 Lecture 32 Slide 8 INTRODUCTION TO Modern Physics PHYX 2710 Fall 2004 Physics of Technology—PHYS 1800 Spring 2009 As you probably already know, magnets attract metallic items made of iron or steel, but not silver, copper, aluminum, or most nonmetallic materials. –The three most common magnetic elements are the metals iron, cobalt, and nickel. Magnets also attract or repel each other depending on how they are aligned. –The north-seeking end of a magnet wants to point north, and it is called the north magnetic pole. –The south-seeking end wants to point south, and it is called the south magnetic pole. Like poles repel one another, and unlike poles attract one another. Magnets: The Basics

Magnetism Introduction Section 0 Lecture 1 Slide 9 Lecture 32 Slide 9 INTRODUCTION TO Modern Physics PHYX 2710 Fall 2004 Physics of Technology—PHYS 1800 Spring 2009 The force that two poles exert on one another varies with distance or pole strength. –The magnetic force between two poles decreases with the square of the distance between the two poles, just as the electrostatic force does. –Some magnets are stronger than others; the force is directly proportional to the pole strength of the magnets involved.

10. Magnetism Introduction Section 0 Lecture 1 Slide 10 Lecture 32 Slide 10 INTRODUCTION TO Modern Physics PHYX 2710 Fall 2004 Physics of Technology—PHYS 1800 Spring 2009 A magnet always has at least two poles: a magnetic dipole. –Breaking a magnetic dipole in half results in two smaller magnetic dipoles. –We cannot get just one magnetic north or south pole by itself: magnetic monopoles do not exist.

11. Magnetism Introduction Section 0 Lecture 1 Slide 11 Lecture 32 Slide 11 INTRODUCTION TO Modern Physics PHYX 2710 Fall 2004 Physics of Technology—PHYS 1800 Spring 2009 Magnetic field lines produced by a magnetic dipole form a pattern similar to the electric field lines produced by an electric dipole. –Electric field lines originate on positive charges and terminate on negative charges. –Magnetic field lines form continuous loops: they emerge from the north pole and enter through the south pole, pointing from the north pole to the south pole outside the magnet. –Inside the magnet, they point from the south pole to the north pole.

12. Magnetism Introduction Section 0 Lecture 1 Slide 12 Lecture 32 Slide 12 INTRODUCTION TO Modern Physics PHYX 2710 Fall 2004 Physics of Technology—PHYS 1800 Spring 2009 A magnetic dipole tends to line up with an externally produced magnetic field just as an electric dipole tends to line up with an electric field. –Both dipoles experience a torque due to the force from the externally produced field. –This is why iron filings line up with the field lines around a magnet.

14. Introduction Section 0 Lecture 1 Slide 14 Lecture 32 Slide 14 INTRODUCTION TO Modern Physics PHYX 2710 Fall 2004 Physics of Technology—PHYS 1800 Spring 2009 The north (north-seeking) pole of a compass needle points toward the Earth’s “North Pole.” Is the Earth a magnet? The magnetic field produced by the Earth can be pictured by imagining a large bar magnet inside the Earth. Since unlike poles attract, the south pole of the Earth’s magnet must point in a northerly direction. The axis of the Earth’s magnetic field is not aligned exactly with the Earth’s axis of rotation.
