MAGNETISM
• Magnetism is a force
generated in matter by the
motion of electrons within its
atoms. Magnetism and
electricity represent different
aspects of the force of
electromagnetism, which is
one part of Nature's
fundamental electroweak
force.
• The ability to attract iron and
steel.
• The Ancient Greeks
discovered that a certain
rock called “Iodstone”
attracted pieces of iron.
Magnets are named after the
town Magnesia ( a district in
Thessaly) in Lydia, Asia
Minor.
• Natural permaments were called Lodestone after
Iodestar (or guiding star). Lodestone was first
permament magnetic material to be identified and
studied. The regions near the ends of a magnet are
called its poles

MAGNETIC FIELDS
• The idea of magnetic field lines and
magnetic field was first examined by
Michael Faraday and later by James
Clerk Maxwell
• A magnetic field is a picture that we use
as a tool to describe how the magnetic
force is distributed in the space around
and within something magnetic
• William Gilbert - discovered that the
earth is a huge magnet

MAGNETIC FLUX
1kgf = 9.81N
1lbf = 4.4484N
1N = 10^5 Dynes
1Tesla = 10^4 Gauss
1Wb = 10^8 Mx
CLASSIFICATION OF MATTER ACCORDING
TO THE MAGNETIC PROPERTY
(FERROMAGNETIC, PARAMAGNETIC, DIAMAGNETIC)
FERROMAGNETIC
• Materials that can be magnetized, which are also ones that
are strongly attracted to magnet.

Absolute Permeability
The permeability of free space, μo, is
μo=4π∗ 10−7 H/m
μ=μoμr
Relative Permeability
The relative permeability of a magnetic material, designated μr , is the
ratio of its absolute permeability μ to that of air μo .
