Objectives
:
• Identify what are the properties
behind magnets.
• Gain evidence of magnetism through
simple experiment.
• To know the application of
magnetism.
What is
Magnetism?
• The force of attraction or repulsion of a
magnetic material.
• The study of magnetic fields and their
effect on materials.
What is a Magnet?

• A material which
exhibits
magnetism.
General Properties of Magnets

Magnets usually have

two poles:

-North Pole (North

Seeking Pole)
-South Pole (South
Seeking Pole)
Magnetic
Field
• The outer
part of a
magnet
where forces
are acting
upon.
2 TYPES OF
MAGNETS
1. Permanent Magnets

• Objects that are artificially

magnetized
• Exhibits strong magnetic
properties
Types of Permanent Magnets

Neodymium Iron Boron

Magnets

Alnico Magnets

Cerramic Magnets
2. Temporary Magnets
• They are made by stroke and electric
methods.
• Loses their magnetic properties for a
short time

• Ex: paper clips, nails, thumbtacks,

etc.
Activity
2Testing for Evidence of Magnetism

Objectives:
• Identify the forces (attraction/repulsion)
between:
a. two magnets, and
b.a magnet and magnetic/nonmagnetic
materials.
• Distinguish a magnet (permanent or
temporary) from a non-magnetic object.
Materials:
• Pair of Magnets
• 6-10 objects made of different materials
from inside the room

Safety Precautions:
• Handle magnets with care so as not to drop
those. These might break, chip off, and
weaken upon impact.
• Keep magnets away from computer units
screen, memory storage, and the like.
Procedure:
Table 4. Interaction between two permanent magnets

What to do? What happened?

Place the magnets with
the same sides on the flat The magnets exhibits
horizontal surface . repulsion for they repel
each other.

Place the magnets with

different sides on the flat The magnets exhibits
horizontal surface. attraction for they attract
each other.
Table 5. Interaction of a magnet with other objects

What to do? What happened?

Mix the available objects • The objects that

you have on a flat are made of
surface then place a metals are
magnet near them. attracted to the
magnet.
• The remaining
objects are not
attracted to the
magnet.
Guide questions:
Q7. What conditions with observable effects make
magnets interact with another magnet?
Magnets that are in good conditions are strong
enough to push or pull another magnet close
enough to it.
Q8. In general, what conditions with observable
effects make magnets interact with non-magnetic
materials?
Magnets, strong or weak, can be made to attract
non-magnetic objects that is made of or has
parts that are magnetic in nature such as these
made of iron, nickel, cobalt or its alloys.
Q9. What type/s of forces can a magnet exert on
another magnet?
Magnets can both attract or repel other magnets.
Like poles of magnets when close enough will
cause the magnets to repel each other, while
unlike poles of magnets that are close will cause
the magnets to attract each other.

Q10. What type/s of force can a magnet exert on

non-magnet objects?
Both poles of the magnet can attract non-magnet
objects that have materials or parts that are
magnetic in nature.
Q11. How will you distinguish magnets from non-
magnetized magnetic materials?

Only magnets can repel other magnets and

already magnetized objects. But non-magnetized
objects made of magnetic materials can only be
attracted by a magnet.
Applications of
Magnets
Used in giving directions

Used in storing information

Used in industries
 Used by hospitals

Used for communications

Used at homes
