What to Focus On

  • Lodestone is a natural magnet and is an ore of iron oxide, Fe3O4.
  • The word magnet is derived from magnesia.
  • Artificial magnets are made in useful shapes such as bar and horse-shoe magnets.
  • Induced magnetism is temporary magnetism caused by a nearby magnet.
  • The near end of an iron bar gets opposite polarity to the inducing pole.
  • The far end gets similar polarity to the inducing pole.
  • A magnetic field is the region around a magnet where magnetic influence is felt.
  • Magnetic field is a vector quantity.
  • A field line shows the direction of the magnetic field at every point.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A piece of iron is attracted directly by a magnet without first becoming magnetised.

The near end of an induced iron bar gets the same polarity as the inducing pole.

A magnet always pulls iron because attraction happens before induction.
