Magnetism

IQ: How do magnetized and magnetic objects interact?

  • Investigate and describe qualitatively the force produced between magnetised and magnetic materials in the context of ferromagnetic materials
  • Use magnetic field lines to model qualitatively the direction and strength of magnetic fields produced by magnets, current-carrying wires and solenoids and relate these fields to their effect on magnetic materials that are placed within them
  • Conduct investigations into and describe quantitatively the magnetic fields produced by wires and solenoids, including:
    • 𝐵 =𝜇0𝐼/2𝜋𝑟
    • 𝐵 =𝜇0𝑁𝐼/𝐿
  • Investigate and explain the process by which ferromagnetic materials become magnetised
  • Apply models to represent qualitatively and describe quantitatively the features of magnetic fields
