The magnetic field of naturally occurring magnetite is too weak to be
used in devices such as modern motors and generators; these magnetic
fields must come from electric currents. Magnetic fields affect moving
charges, and moving charges produce magnetic fields; therefore, the
concepts of magnetism and electricity are closely linked to each other.
Magnetic fields and lines of force
A bar magnet attracts iron objects to its ends, called poles. One end is
the north pole, and the other is the south pole. If the bar is suspended so that
it is free to move, the magnet will align itself so that its north pole points to
the geographic north of the earth. The suspended bar magnet acts like a
compass in the earth's magnetic field. If two bar magnets are brought close
together, the like poles will repel each other, and the unlike poles attract
each other. This magnetic attraction or repulsion can be explained as the
effect of one magnet on the other, or it can be said that one magnet sets up a
magnetic field in the region around it that affects the other magnet. The
magnetic field at any point is a vector. The direction of the magnetic field
(B)
at a specified point is the direction that the north end of a compass
needle points at that position. Magnetic field lines, analogous to electric
field lines, describe the force on magnetic particles placed within the field.
Iron filings will align to indicate the patterns of magnetic field lines.
