1. ALL magnets have two poles NORTH seeking pole SOUTH seeking pole

2. Breaking a magnet produces two magnets! NS NS NNSS

3. Opposite poles attract and like poles repel

4. Magnetic materials Iron (steel), Cobalt and Nickel

5. Magnetic induction When a magnetic material is close to a magnet, it becomes a magnet itself We say it has induced magnetism N S N S magnet

6. Soft Magnetism Pure iron is a soft magnetic material It is easy to magnetise but loses its magnetism easily N S beforeafter Iron nail S N N S Not a magnet N

7. Hard Magnetism Steel is a hard magnetic material It is harder to magnetise, but keeps its magnetism (it is used to make magnets!) N S beforeafter Steel paper clip N N S It’s a magnet! N S SN

8. Magnetic fields Magnets (and electric currents) produce magnetic fields around them. In the magnetic field, another magnet or magnetic material will experience a magnetic force.

9. Magnetic field lines We can represent the magnetic field around a magnet using field lines.

10. Magnetic field lines The closer the field lines are, the stronger the magnetic force felt The arrows show the direction a compass needle would point at that point in the field.

11. Mind-map Mr Porter will put these slides on a loop and you are going to mind-map them (Colours, drawings, single words)

12. Plotting magnetic fields 1. Two magnets, opposite poles facing each other 6 cm apart 2. Two magnets, like poles facing each other 6 cm apart 3. Two magnets along side each other, 5 cm apart, opposite poles opposite each other.

13. Field around a bar magnet

14. Two bar magnets Strong uniform field

15. Two bar magnets no field!

16. Earth’s Magnetic Field N S Remember the North of a compass needle points to the geographic north pole (i.e. the geographic North pole is a magnetic south pole!)

17. Moving charges (currents) Moving charges (electric currents) also produce a magnetic field http://www.sciencebuddies.org Conventional current – electrons flow in the opposite direction

18. Magnetic field around a straight wire Stronger field closer to wire You can use the right hand screw rule to decide which direction the field goes

19. To make an electromagnet stronger The 3 C’s More Coils More Current Use an iron Core

20. Field around a coil

21. A side view

22. Field around a solenoid (coil)

23. The Motor Effect When a current is placed in a magnetic field it will experience a force (provided the current is not parallel to the field). This is called the motor effect. Can you copy this sentence into your books please.

24. The Motor Effect The direction of the force on a current in a magnetic field is given by Flemming’s left hand rule. Centre finger = Conventional Current (+ to -) First finger = Field direction (N to S) Thumb = Motion Can you copy this please? WITH DIAGRAM!

25. Sample question In this example, which way will the wire be pushed? (red is north on the magnets)

26. Sample question In this example, which way will the wire be pushed? (red is north on the magnets) Current Field

27. Building a loudspeaker These also use the motor effect Coil in here magnet

28. D.C.Motor Commutator ensures that every half rotation the current direction reverses in the coil brushes

29. D.C.Motor

30. Electromagnetic induction If a magnet is moved inside a coil an electric current is induced (produced)

31. Electromagnetic induction A electric current is induced because the magnetic field around the coil is changing.

32. Generator/dynamo A generator works in this way by rotating a coil in a magnetic field (or rotating a magnet in a coil)

33. Motor = generator If electric energy enters a motor it is changed into kinetic energy, but if kinetic energy is inputted (the motor is turned) electric energy is produced!

34. Transformers A transformer consists of 3 main parts

35. Transformers A changing current in the primary coil produces a changing magnetic field in the core. This changing magnetic field induces a changing current in the secondary coil.

36. Changing voltages The ratio of the number of turns on the coils equals the ratio of the voltages V p /V s = N p /N s # of turns = N s # of turns = N p

37. Changing voltages A transformer where the voltage rises is called a step-up transformer

38. Changing voltages A transformer where the voltage falls is called a step-down transformer

39. No energy for nothing Power in = power out V p I p = V s I s

40. a.c. only Because transformers rely on induction (changing fields), they only work with alternating current (a.c.)

41. Why do we need transformers? Current flowing through wires causes them to get hot and energy is lost.

42. Why do we need transformers? Keeping the current low means electricity can be transported long distances without losing too much energy.

43. Why do we need transformers? However, in order to send a large quantity of energy, high voltages are needed.

44. Transmission of Electricity Step-up Step-down
