Magnetism
Magnetism is a non-contact force caused by moving electric charges,
usually electrons in certain materials like iron, cobalt, and nickel.

This movement creates a magnetic field, an invisible region around a


magnet or current-carrying wire where magnetic forces can act.

Magnets and certain electronic devices rely on this force for their function,
as magnetic fields can cause objects to be attracted or repelled depending
on the poles (north and south).
Magnets
Magnets have two poles: North and South.
Opposite poles (North-South) attract, while like poles (North-
North or South-South) repel.
Magnets can be permanent (always magnetic) or temporary
(only magnetic when near other magnets).
They are used in everyday objects like compasses, motors, and
speakers.
Magnetic
Field & Force
A magnetic field is the area around a magnet where its
magnetic force can be felt.
Magnetic field lines show the direction of the field, from
North to South poles.
The closer the field lines, the stronger the magnetic
force.
These fields can attract or repel magnetic objects and
even affect moving electric charges.
Ferrous & Non-Ferrous
Materials
Ferrous materials (like iron and steel) contain iron and are usually
magnetic.
These materials are used in buildings, cars, and machinery because of
their strength and magnetism.
Non-ferrous materials (like aluminum and copper) don’t contain iron
and are not magnetic.
They are used in electronics and wiring because they don’t interfere
with magnetic fields.
Magnetizing and Demagnetizing
Magnetizing means turning a material into a magnet.
This can be done by rubbing it with a magnet or using
electricity.

Demagnetizing is when a magnet loses its magnetism,


which can happen by heating, hitting, or using an
electrical field to disrupt the magnetic forces.

4 WAYS
a) Hammering the Magnet:
Demagnetisation can be done by hammering the magnet until it becomes
glowing red hot. To effectively demagnetise it, the magnet should be
aligned in the East-West direction.

b) Heating the Magnet:


Another method is to heat the magnet until it glows red, which disrupts
the alignment of its magnetic domains. Similar to hammering, the magnet
must be placed in the East-West direction for proper demagnetisation.

c) Removing (pulling out) from a Solenoid (AC): Gradual
pulling out of the magnet from a solenoid that is
connected to an alternating current (AC) power source also
works for demagnetisation. The magnet should be
withdrawn slowly to minimise any residual magnetism.

d) Reducing flow of Current in a Solenoid (AC): The magnet


can also be placed inside a solenoid connected to an AC
source. Then, by gradually reducing the current to zero, the
magnetic field is diminished, effectively demagnetising the
magnet.
