Objectives
Describe the properties of magnets.
Explain why some materials are magnetic and some are not.
Describe four kinds of magnets.
Give two examples of the effect of Earth’s magnetic field.

4. Section 1 Magnets and Magnetism
Properties of Magnets
Magnetic Poles are points on a magnet that have opposite magnetic qualities.
North and South The pole of a magnet that points to the north is called the magnet’s north pole. The opposite end of the magnet, called the south pole, points to the south.

Magnetic Forces When you bring two magnets close together, the magnets each exert a magnetic force on the other. These magnetic forces result from spinning electric charges in the magnets. The force can either push the magnets apart of pull them together.

Magnetic Fields A magnetic field exists in the region around a magnet in which magnetic forces can act.

8. Section 1 Magnets and Magnetism
The Cause of Magnetism
Atoms and Domains In materials such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, groups of atoms are in tiny areas called domains. The north and south poles of the atoms in a domain line up and make a strong magnetic field.

9. The Cause of Magnetism, continued
Section 1 Magnets and Magnetism
The Cause of Magnetism, continued
Losing Alignment When domains move, the magnet is demagnetized, or loses its magnetic properties.
Making Magnets You can make a magnet from demagnetized material if you line up its domains with another magnet.

Cutting a Magnet When you cut a magnet in half, you end up with two magnets.

11. Section 1 Magnets and Magnetism
Kinds of Magnets
Atoms and Domains Some magnets, called ferromagnets, are made of iron, nickel, cobalt, or mixtures of those metals. Another kind of magnet is the electromagnet. This is a magnet made by an electric current.
Temporary and Permanent Magnets Temporary magnets are made from materials that are easy to magnetize. But they tend to lose their magnetization easily. Permanent magnets are difficult to magnetize, but tend to keep their magnetic properties longer.

Earth as a Magnet
One Giant Magnet Earth behaves as if it has a bar magnet running through its center.
Poles of a Compass Needle The point of a compass needle is attracted to the south pole of a magnet. Opposite poles of magnets attract each other.
South Magnetic Pole near North Geographic Pole A compass needle points north because the magnetic pole of Earth that is closest to the geographic North Pole is a magnetic south pole.

The Core of the Matter Scientists think that the Earth’s magnetic field is made by the movement of electric charges in the Earth’s core.
A Magnetic Light Show Earth’s magnetic field plays a part in making auroras. An aurora is formed when charged particles from the sun hit oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the air.

The Discovery of Electromagnetism
Hans Christian Oersted Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted discovered the relationship between electricity and magnetism in 1820.
More Research From his experiments, Oersted concluded that an electric current produces a magnetic field. His research was the first research in electromagnetism—the interaction between electricity and magnetism.

20. Using Electromagnetism
Section 2 Magnetism from Electricity
Using Electromagnetism
A solenoid is a coil of wire that produces a magnetic field when carrying an electric current.
An electromagnet is made up of a solenoid wrapped around an iron core.
Turning Electromagnets On and Off Electromagnets are very useful because they can be turned on and off as needed. The solenoid has a field only when there is electric current in it.

21. Applications of Electromagnetism

Applications of Electromagnetism
Doorbells Two solenoids in a doorbell allow the doorbell to work.
Magnetic Force and Electric Current An electric current can cause a compass needle to move. The needle is a small magnet. This property is useful in electric motors.

22. Applications of Electromagnetism, continued
Section 2 Magnetism from Electricity
Applications of Electromagnetism, continued
An electric motor is a device that changes electrical energy into mechanical energy. All electric motors have an armature—a loop or coil of wire that can rotate.
Galvanometers A galvanometer measures current. A galvanometer has an electromagnet placed between the poles of a permanent magnet.

Success for an Instant Faraday realized that electric current in the second wire was made only when the magnetic field was changing. The process by which an electric current is made by changing a magnetic field is called electromagnetic induction.

Electric Generators
Alternating Current The electric current produced by the generator shown on the next slide changes direction each time the coil makes a half turn. Because the electric current changes direction, it is an alternating current.
Generating Electrical Energy The energy that generators convert into electrical energy comes from different sources such as fossil fuels and nuclear energy.

31. Section 3 Electricity from Magnetism
Transformers
A transformer increases or decreases the voltage of alternating current.
Step Up, Step Down The number of loops in the primary and secondary coils of a transformer determines whether it increases or decreases the voltage.
Electrical Energy for Your Home The electric current that brings electrical energy to your home is usually transformed three times.
