  1. Essential Question-What is magnetism and how does it relate to electricity? MagnetismChapter 21

  2. Vocabulary • Magnetic Domain • Magnetic Field • Magnetosphere • Alternating Current • Aurora

  3. Direct Current • Electromagnet • Generator • Motor • Transformer

  4. How magnets work. Magnetic field-a space around a magnet where the magnetic force is active. Magnetic Domain-a group of atoms with their magnetic fields pointing in the same direction.

  5. Magnetosphere- the space affected by the Earth’s magnetic field.

  6. The Sun and the Earth’s magnetosphere. Charged particles Aurora-the light given off from the sun’s charged particles crashing into atoms in the Earth’s atmosphere.

  7. Natures Magnets Monarch Butterflies Homing Pigeons Migratory Birds The Lodestone- the original natural magnet Examples of Biomagnetism

  8. Early Uses of Magnetism • The Compass • The needle will point North and South • Turn the compass so that they line up

  9. Electromagnet- a wire with current flowing through it that is wrapped around an iron core. How do they work?

  10. Uses for Electromagnets • Televisions/ Computer- CRT screens • Automobiles- ignition, starter motor, automatic doors • Motors • Sound/ Speakers-An electromagnet draws the speaker diaphragm, allowing the music to be played. • Scrap yards-In scrap yards, electromagnets lift cars and other magnetic objects. • Fire Doors and Automatic Doors • Relays/ Switches • Sorting MetalsRead more: 10 Uses for an Electromagnet | eHow.co.ukhttp://www.ehow.co.uk/list_5908429_10-uses-electromagnet.html#ixzz1hm19hFDy

  11. Electric Motors- any machine that changes electric energy into kinetic energy. http://www.arthursclipart.org/engineer/engineer/electric%20motor.gif What is a motor? How does it keep running?

  12. Direct Current (DC)- A current in which electrons only flow in one direction. (used in battery powered electronics. Electric Current- the flow of electric charge. Alternating Current (AC)- a current that changes direction. (used in plug in electronics)

  13. Electric Generator - uses magnets to convert motion energy to electricity http://sustainableconsciousnessnetwork.wordpress.com/

  14. Magnets are used in machines to create and change current Power Plants contain Electric Generators, machines that use a magnetic field to turn motion into electricity Transformer- a machine that changes the voltage of an alternating current without losing much energy.

  15. Superconductors - metals at extremely low temperatures have next to no resistance so next to no loss of energy as heat. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/large-hadron-collider/7829090/The-God-particle-may-exist-in-five-forms-Large-Hadron-Colliders-rival-project-finds.html http://www.chemistryexplained.com/St-Te/Superconductors.html A magnet floats above a superconductor Particle accelerators use superconductors to get particles up to nearly the speed of light,

  16. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) MRI Scanner MRI Image http://greglw.blogspot.com/1971/01/item-04-mri-scanner-magnetic-resonance.html

  17. Ferromagnet • Ferromagnet- A permanent magnet made from a material such as iron. Ferromagnetism is the basic mechanism by which certain materials (such as iron) form permanent magnets, or are attracted to magnets. • The shape of a ferromagnet is not important

  18. Natural magnet (lodestone) Electromagnet vs. Natural Magnets Electromagnet

  19. Specific shapes of magnets • Bar magnet • Horseshoe magnet Disk Magnet

  20. bar magnet • horseshoe magnet • disk magnet • magnetic • copper • repel • ferromagnetic • aluminum • pole • iron • nickel • attract • core
