Electric magnetism and Electromagnetic induction

Magnetism

Mainly, 2 types of magnets


Magnetism exists only when an
electric current flows.

Magnets
Magnetism lasts a long time.

Magnetic field

 The space around a magnet that can be affected by magnetism is the “Magnetic field”.

Demonstration that a magnet creates a magnetic field around it.

Keep a compass on the table. Note in the table whether the compass indicator is triggered or not when the given
objects bring close to it.

Closing objects The compass indicator is triggered/ isn’t


triggered.

A piece of iron
A piece of glass
A magnet
A piece of plastic

 Here, the compass indicator rises when …………………………………….. bring close to it.
 Accordingly, the magnet can exert a ……………………….. around it.
 When a compass is placed in a certain point in the magnetic field, the direction of the magnetic field is
shown by the compass indicator.
 Except for that, the magnitude of the magnetic field also varies at each point.
 Accordingly, a magnetic field has a physical mass of …………………… and ………………………

 The above activity show, the way of finding ……………………………. using a compass.

The magnetic effect of the current

 The scientist ………………………….. Pointed out that a current produces a magnetic field.
 The following is a diagram of an activity that can be used to show that a magnetic field is generated
when an electric current flows through a direct conductor.

Note down the observations in each of the following instance.

Instance Observation

When there is a conductor above


the compass
When the switch is opened (
When the current stops flowing )

When there is a compass above


the conductor

 According to the observations you mentioned above, the reason for the rise of the compass is
……………………………..
 Accordingly, it can be said that ……………………………… occurs when a current flows through a
conductor.
 Also, it can be said that the direction of the ……………………… also depends on the direction in
which the current flows.
