    Objectives:

    Properties of magnets
    a) Magnetic materials
    Magnets attract strongly only certain
    materials such as iron, steel, nickel
    and cobalt, which are called ferro-
    magnetics.

    b) Magnetic poles
    The poles are the places in a magnet to which magnetic materials, such as iron fi lings, are
    attracted.
    They are near the ends of a bar magnet and
    occur in pairs of equal strength.

    c) North and south poles


    If a magnet is supported so that it can swing
    in a horizontal plane it comes to rest with one
    pole, the north-seeking or N pole, always pointing roughly towards the Earth’s north pole.
    A magnet can therefore be used as a compass.

    d) Law of magnetic poles


    1. Like poles repel, unlike poles attract.
    2. The force between magnetic poles decreases as their
    separation increases.

    3
    Magnetization of iron and steel

    If the iron chain is removed by pulling the top nail away from the magnet, the chain
    collapses, showing that magnetism induced in iron is temporary.
    When the same is done with the steel chain, it does not collapse; magnetism induced in
    steel is permanent.
    So, magnetic materials classified into:
    1. Hard:
    - harder to magnetize
    - permanent (Ex.: steel)
    - application: used to make permanent magnets.
    2. Soft:
    - easy to magnetize
    - temporary (Ex.: iron)
    - application: electromagnet
    how to magnetize magnetic materials:
    1. ‘Stroking’ a magnetic material several times in the same
    direction with one pole of a magnet.
    2. Solenoids with a direct current.
    3. Hammering a magnetic material in a magnetic
    field causes magnetization.

    4
    how to demagnetize magnetic materials:
    1. Hammering a magnetic material in the absence
    of a field causes demagnetization.
    2. Solenoids with an alternating current.
    3. dropping a magnet.
    4. Heating a magnet.

    Magnetic fields
    - magnetic field is the space surrounding a magnet where it produces a magnetic
    force.
    The force around a bar magnet can be detected and shown to vary in direction, using the
    apparatus in Figure 34.2.

    - If the floating magnet is released near the N pole of the bar magnet, it is repelled to
    the S pole and moves along a curved path known as a line of force or a field line.
    - It moves in the opposite direction if its south pole is uppermost.
    - So, we can conclude that the direction of the field at any point should be the
    direction of the force on a N pole.
    - To show the direction, arrows are put on the lines of force and point away from a N
    pole towards a S pole.

    5
    - The magnetic field is stronger in regions where the field lines are close together than
    where they are further apart.

    - The force between two magnets is a result of the interaction of their magnetic fields.

    Plotting lines of force


    a) Plotting compass method b) Iron filings method

    2. For a U shape magnet

    3. For two neighboring magnets
