INTRODUCTION

What is a magnet?
 An object that has a magnetic field.
 An object is a magnet when it
behaves like magnet.
BEHAVIOR OF A MAGNET

1. A magnet attracts ferrous materials


BEHAVIOR OF A MAGNET

2. All magnets possess a North pole and a South pole.


Like pole repel each other.
Unlike poles attract each other.
MAGNETIC FIELD AND FLUX
Magnetic field:  A region surrounding a magnet in which its magnetic effects
can be detected.
 An invisible force that surrounds the magnet.

Explanation on how the lines of influence in


the magnetic field are traced
MAGNETIC FIELD AND FLUX

Lines of flux of a magnet emerge


from the N pole and re-enter at
the S pole.

They are continuous and


never cross.

Behavior of the magnetic flux


MAGNETIC FIELD AND FLUX

• The magnets attracted to each other.


• Where lines of flux from the two magnets are in the same direction,
they reinforce one another, and the flux density is increased.
MAGNETIC FIELD AND FLUX

• The magnets repel each other – the line of flux from each magnet are
pushing them apart.
• Their resultant field is modified by the fact that lines of flux cannot cross.
