Topics in Magnetism
Magnets and Their Properties
- Magnetism is the property by which objects attract iron, nickel, cobalt, and steel
- Natural magnets: Magnetite (Fe₃O₄) - weak magnetic strength
- Artificial magnets: Bar magnets, horseshoe magnets, magnetic needles - strong magnetic strength
Magnetic Field and Field Lines
- Magnetic field (B⃗): Region where magnetic force is experienced
- Field lines: Imaginary lines showing magnetic field direction
- Tangent to field line gives field direction at that point
Magnetic Dipole in Uniform Field
- Magnetic dipole: Two equal and opposite poles separated by small distance
- Dipole moment M⃗ = m × l⃗ (pole strength × length vector)
- In uniform field: Net force = 0, but torque ≠ 0
Magnetic Flux and Gauss's Law
- Magnetic flux: Number of field lines passing through a surface
- Scalar quantity with SI unit Weber (Wb)
- Depends on field strength, area, and orientation
