Magnetic Fields
What is a cow magnet?
Magnetic Field Lines • Defined as the direction N pole of a compass points in the field. • Drawn from N to S
Lab Magnetic Fields • Mapping magnetic fields using the compass method
Lab Magnetic Fields • Use iron fillings poured over a piece of paper to visualize magnetic field of each magnet
Magnetic Flux • Number of field lines in any region • Greatest around the poles of a magnet
Fact or Fiction? • If a very strong magnet is brought near the corner of a dollar bill, the bill will be attracted.
What is the advantage of using a horseshoe magnet? • Poles are close together.
Which material affects a magnetic field? • • • Index cards Razor blade Stream of water Straight pin Aluminum foil • Only ______ substances can distort a magnetic field.
Metal detectors • Smart phones now have a built in magnetometer to detect magnets in addition to the Earth’s Magnetic Field.
How does an automatic traffic signal know that your car is there? • The coil of wire is in the street and when your car passes over it, that tells the signal to turn green.
Earth’s Magnetic Field • Earth has a magnetic field shaped similar to a big bar magnet. • Center of Earth is much too hot for domains to stay aligned. • Earth’s polarity can switch as well, which it has done so more than 170 times. (Last reversal 700, 000 years ago)
Aurora Borealis • Northern Lights
Aurora Borealis • High temperatures on the sun’s surface plasma produce _______, the fourth phase of matter consisting of charged particles. These charged particles travel throughout solar the solar system as _____ wind _____. When charged particles reach the region of the earth’s outer atmosphere called the magnetosphere ________, their motion is controlled by the earth’s magnetic field.
Aurora Borealis • The charged particles are able to slip through the earth’s magnetic field at the poles ______ and enter the atmosphere. electrons They collide with _______ in atoms of gases like oxygen and nitrogen energy and transfer _____, making the electrons jump to higher energy levels. When they fall, they give off visible light _____ of different colors.
Southern Lights • Aurora austrailis
