FERROMAGNETIC MATERIALS
Ferromagnetic materials are those materials which exhibits a spontaneous net magnetization
at the atomic level, even in the absence of an external magnetic field. When placed in an
external magnetic field, ferromagnetic materials are strongly magnetized in the direction of the
direction.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION
Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating electric current with a magnetic field.
As long as the conductor is part of a closed circuit, current will flow through it. The faster the
magnet or coil moves, the greater the amount of current that is produced.
There are two types of electromagnetic induction:
1. Mutual Induction – when changing current in one coil includes an EMF in the other.
2. Self Induction – the property of the current carrying coil that resists or opposes the
change of current flowing through it.
FARADAY’S LAW INDUCTION
Whenever a conductor is placed in a varying magnetic field, an electromotive force is induced.
Likewise, if the conductor circuit is closed, a current is induced, which is called induced current.
INDUCED MAGNETISM
Induced magnetism is a non-magnetized magnetic material coming into contact with a pole of
a permanent magnet. Consequently, the unmagnetized materials becomes a magnet. As soon
as the magnetic field disappears, the magnetism of the magnet is lost.
ELECTROMAGNETIC SPECTRUM
The electromagnetic spectrum is comprised of all frequencies of electromagnetic radiation
that propagate energy and travel through space in the form of waves. Longer wavelengths with
lower frequencies make up the radio spectrum. Shorter wavelengths with higher frequencies
make up the optical spectrum. The EM spectrum includes: radio waves, infrared, visible light,
ultraviolet, x-rays, and gamma rays, these waves do not have exact dividing region.
MICROWAVES
Microwaves have smaller wavelengths than radio waves. They are used in satellite
communications, radar, television, transmission, and cooking.
