Opposites attract!

Page 5: Play with your magnets!. ALL magnets have two poles NORTH seeking pole SOUTH seeking pole.

Opposite poles attract and like poles repel

Magnetic materials

Page 7: Play with your magnets!. ALL magnets have two poles NORTH seeking pole SOUTH seeking pole.

Magnetic materials

Iron (steel), Cobalt and Nickel

Magnetic induction

Page 9: Play with your magnets!. ALL magnets have two poles NORTH seeking pole SOUTH seeking pole.

Magnetic induction

When a magnetic material is close to a magnet, it becomes a magnet itself

We say it has induced magnetism

Hard and Soft Magnetism

Soft Magnetism

Pure iron is a soft magnetic material

It is easy to magnetise but loses its magnetism easily

Hard Magnetism

Steel is a hard magnetic material

It is harder to magnetise, but keeps its magnetism (it is used to make magnets!)

Magnetic field

I wonder if this is a magnetic

field?

Page 14: Play with your magnets!. ALL magnets have two poles NORTH seeking pole SOUTH seeking pole.

Magnetic field

Magnets (and electric currents) produce magnetic fields around them.

In the magnetic field, another magnet or magnetic material will experience a magnetic force.

Page 15: Play with your magnets!. ALL magnets have two poles NORTH seeking pole SOUTH seeking pole.

Magnetic field lines

We can represent the magnetic field around a magnet using field lines.

Magnetic field lines

The arrows show the direction a compass needle would point at that point in the field.

Magnetic field lines

The closer the field lines are, the stronger the magnetic force felt

The arrows show the direction a compass needle would point at that point in the field.

Remember the North of a compass needle points to the geographic north pole (i.e. the geographic North pole is a magnetic south pole!)
