Why magnetic forces occur?
The interaction of magnetic fields
1 of 16
How can magnetic fields be represented?
Field lines
2 of 16
What is a magnetic material?
A material which experiences a force when placed in a field
3 of 16
Which are common magnetic materials?
Iron, steel, nickel and cobalt
4 of 16
What are hard magnetic materials?
A material that retains magnetism well, but is difficult to magnetise
5 of 16
What is an example of a hard material?
Hard steel
6 of 16
What are soft magnetic materials?
A material that is easy to magnetise and loses it easily
7 of 16
What is an example of a soft material?
Soft iron
8 of 16
What are permanent magnets?
Magnets that retain magnetism and are made of hard magnetic materials
9 of 16
What are electromagnets?
A magnet that is made up of a solenoid, which creates a magnetic field with a current. They are soft materials
10 of 16
What is the difference between permanent magnets and electromagnets?
An electromagnet can be turned on/off and its magnetic field can be reversed
11 of 16
How can the strength of an electromagnet be increased?
Increase the current flowing, number of turns or add a soft iron core
12 of 16
How can a magnetic material be magnetised?
Stroking it with a permanent magnet, putting it inside a coil with d.c. flowing through it or hammering it on a strong field
13 of 16
What is induced magnetism?
The magnetisation of a magnetic material when placed on a field
14 of 16
What happens on induced magnetism?
One end of the material becomes N and the other end becomes S
15 of 16
What happens once removed from the field?
It will start to lose its magnetism depending on whether it is hard or soft
