Overview
Magnetism is a fundamental physical phenomenon involving the force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other. This chapter explores the nature of magnets, their properties, and how they interact with materials and magnetic fields. It also explains how Earth itself behaves like a giant
Key Concepts
Every magnet has two poles
Every magnet has two poles—north and south—which cannot be separated. Like poles repel and unlike poles attract. Magnets show directive property (alig
A magnetic field is the region
A magnetic field is the region around a magnet where its influence can be felt. Magnetic field lines represent the direction and strength of the field
When a bar magnet (magnetic dipole)
When a bar magnet (magnetic dipole) is placed at an angle in a uniform magnetic field, it experiences a torque that aligns it with the field. The torq
Magnetic flux (φ_B) is the total
Magnetic flux (φ_B) is the total number of magnetic field lines passing through a surface, calculated as φ_B = B·A = BA cosθ. Gauss’s law states that
Magnetisation (I) is the magnetic moment
Magnetisation (I) is the magnetic moment per unit volume of a material. Magnetic intensity (H) is the external field applied to magnetise a material.
Learning Objectives
- Understand the properties of magnets and magnetic poles
- Define magnetic field, magnetic flux, and magnetic induction
- Explain the behavior of a magnetic dipole in a uniform magnetic field
- State and apply Gauss's law in magnetism
- Define magnetisation and magnetic intensity
