What to Focus On
- Lodestone is a natural magnet and is Fe3O4.
- Magnetism is the attraction of iron particles towards lodestone.
- A freely suspended magnet rests in the north-south direction.
- Magnetic field is the region around a magnet where magnetic force acts.
- Torque makes a magnetic needle rotate and settle in one direction.
- Magnetic lines show field direction.
- Current in a wire produces a magnetic field around it.
- Oersted observed this effect in 1820.
- Greater current gives greater magnetic effect.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
A freely suspended magnet points toward Earth's geographic north pole, so magnetic north and geographic north are the same.
Electromagnets are permanent magnets because they also attract iron.
A solenoid becomes a strong magnet even without a current or without a soft iron core.
Memory Tips
Oersted discovered that current produces a magnetic field around a wire
Magnetic field lines go from north to south and never intersect
Earth behaves like a giant magnet with tilted magnetic poles
Freely suspended magnet points north-south
