Introduction to Magnetism and Natural Magnets
- Lodestone (Fe₃O₄) found in Magnesia was the first known natural magnet
- Natural magnets have two properties: attract iron pieces and align north-south when freely suspended
- Chinese used lodestone pieces as early as 2500 B.C. for navigation
Induced Magnetism
- When an unmagnetized magnetic material is placed near a magnet, it temporarily becomes magnetic
- Induced magnetism is temporary and lasts only while the magnet is nearby
- A magnetic pole induces opposite polarity on the near end and similar polarity on the far end
Magnetic Field and Field Lines
- Magnetic field is the region around a magnet where its influence can be detected
- Magnetic field is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction
- Magnetic field lines are imaginary curves showing the direction of magnetic field
Properties of Magnetic Field Lines
