The name was coined by the Greeks, as certain magnetic rocks (magnetite) were found in the province of Magnesia. Unlike electrical effects due to the rubbing of various substances, like amber, to separate the electrical charges so there would be attractive and repulsive forces, these magnets came out of the ground already attracting and repelling certain materials.

This attraction or Always being able to tell which direction was north was a critical repulsion is the factor in ushering in the age of exploration. magnetic force. It wasn't until 1600 when this phenomenon was explained by William Gilbert. But first, the nature of magnetism will be discussed. These are examples of bar magnets. Slide 9 / 162 Slide 10 / 162 Magnetic Poles Magnetic Poles and Electric charges When a magnet is cut in half, each piece still has a north and a south pole. No matter how many times the magnet is cut, the pieces still The behavior of magnetic poles (north and south) are similar to have a north and south pole. electric charges (positive and negative) where opposite poles/ charges attract and like poles/charges repel. This works all the way down to the atomic level! There are two significant differences between these effects. One, certain materials are naturally magnetic, where electrical properties result from physical rubbing. And secondly - there are independent positive and negative charges, but magnetic materials always contain a north and a south pole.

Students type their answers here Students type their answers here Both come in two types (North and South poles for magnetism; positive and negative electric charges), where Answer two like types repel and two similar, attract. Negative and positive charges can be found by themselves; every North Pole has a South Pole. Charges need to be physically separated; some elements are naturally magnetic. [This object is a pull tab]
Slide 15 / 162 Slide 16 / 162 Magnetic Fields Electric field lines were used to show how electric charges would exert forces on other charges. A similar concept will be used in Magnetism. Magnetic Fields What's nice about Magnetic field lines is that they are more easily Return to Table "seen."

Here are two magnets with their opposite poles next to each other Here are two magnets with their north poles next to each other - - these magnets are attracting each other. these magnets are repelling each other.

It is caused by the circulation of molten iron This picture (not to scale) shows the interaction of the solar alloys in the earth's outer wind (ions and electrons) with the earth's magnetic field that core (more on this later). produces the magnetosphere. The Earth’s “North Pole” is really a south magnetic pole as the north ends of magnets are attracted to it. The magnetic poles are not located along the earth's axis of rotation.
