Key Topics to Revise
1
5.1 Introduction to Magnetism
- Magnetism is derived from 'Magnesia', a Greek island where natural magnetic ore was found
- Earth behaves as a giant magnet with magnetic field pointing from geographic south to north
- Every magnet has two poles - North and South poles that cannot be separated
2
5.2 Bar Magnet and Magnetic Field
- Bar magnet produces magnetic field similar to a solenoid
- Magnetic field lines form closed continuous loops
- Field lines never intersect each other
3
5.3 Gauss's Law for Magnetism
- Net magnetic flux through any closed surface is always zero
- Magnetic field lines form closed loops - no beginning or end
- No magnetic monopoles exist in nature
4
5.4 Magnetization and Magnetic Intensity
- When material is placed in magnetic field, it gets magnetized
- Magnetic intensity H represents magnetizing capability of field
- Magnetization I represents magnetic moment per unit volume
