I. History of Magnetism • Magnets are named after a place called __________ (found in present-day ________) MAGNESIA GREECE • The iron-based mineral ___________ was used as a ____________ or “leading stone” almost ______ years ago. MAGNETITE LODESTONE 3,000 MAGNESIA
II. Characteristics of magnets NORTH SOUTH Have a ________ and ________ pole (called a _________) DIPOLE 1. Similar to the “RULE OF CHARGES”, like poles _______, unlike poles __________. REPEL ATTRACT PAIRS 2. Always appear in _______. No matter how small the pieces of magnet are, each piece ALWAYS has ______ poles. TWO
FIELD Have a magnetic _______ = region where magnetic ________ may be detected FORCE POLES 1. Strongest near the ________. FIELD LINES 2. Represented by ______________ Demonstration: Iron filings and magnets *When sprinkled around a magnet, the iron filings line up with the magnetic field *Draw a diagram in your notes (include labels!)
III. What makes a magnet a magnet? A. Magnetic properties of a material depend on the motion of an atom’s ____________. The ____________ orbit the __________ of the atom and ______ like a top. ELECTRONS ELECTRONS NUCLEUS SPIN
e- B. This movement of the ___ creates _____________ around each individual atom MAGNETIC FIELDS • Electrons are in pairs. Electrons spin (in opposite directions up/down) and magnetic fields cancel each other not magnetic • When electrons ______________, magnetic fields ________________ creating a magnetic material! DO NOT HAVE A PAIR DON’T CANCEL OUT
Materials that can become magnetized are called _________________. FERROMAGNETIC • Include ______, _________, _________ IRON NICKEL COBALT • In these materials, _________________ of individual atoms are _____________________ to form a _____________________. MAGNETIC FIELDS GROUPED TOGETHER MAGNETIC DOMAIN • __________ form small, magnetized regions within the material DOMAINS
If the __________ are arranged randomly (in different ____________) the material is not a magnet. DOMAINS DIRECTIONS DOMAINS • If the ___________ are aligned (in the ______ direction) the material is a _________ SAME MAGNET
Magnetic fields of the domains line up to form a larger magnetic field
Any piece of iron can become a magnet if placed in a magnetic field. The __________ will change orientation because of the ________________ and align. DOMAINS MAGNETIC FIELD
IV. Making / destroying a magnet Materials that are magnetic all of the time (like ____________) are called ____________ magnets. MAGNETITE PERMANENT B. _________________ materials may become magnets by: FERROMAGNETIC • __________________________________ Placing in a magnetic field (heating first is best) Stroking several times with a magnet • _______________________________ DOMAINS *both ways align the ___________ of the material
C. Magnets are weakened by: • _________________________________ Banging…hammering..etc…the magnet • __________________ Heating the magnet DOMAINS * ___________ are no longer aligned
V. The Earth as a Magnet Geographic North Pole The Earth and electrons are both magnets …sketch the Earth and its magnetic field in your notes. Magnetic South Pole
