Magnetism

Magnet:
Material showing magnetic
properties
 Behaviour of a magnet
It can attract or repel any
magnetic material even
if it is not magnetised.
Eg. Iron, Nickel, Cobalt
 Pole of a magnet
At the end of a magnet
where magnetic force is
stronger is known as pole.
 Law of magnetism
Like poles repel each other.

Unlike poles attract each

other.
 Inside a magnet
Groups of particles from which a
magnetic material is made form
tiny particles called domains.
Each domain behaves like a
tiny magnet
 Magnetic field
The region around a
magnet in which the pull
of the magnetic force on
magnetic materials is
called magnetic field.
 Electromagnetism
The process of generating
the magnetic properties
in a material by using
electricity is called
electromagnetism.
Factors in which electromagnet
depend
Power of cell or battery

Number of turns
Applications
