Magnetic Force Help
Introduction As children, most of us discovered that magnets “stick” to some metals. Iron, nickel, and alloys containing either or both of these elements are known as ferromagnetic materials . Magnets exert force on these metals. Magnets ...

Magnetic Field Strength Help
Introduction The overall magnitude of a magnetic field is measured in units called webers , symbolized Wb. A smaller unit, the maxwell (Mx), is sometimes used if a magnetic field is very weak. One weber is equivalent to 100 million maxwells. Thus ...

Electromagnets Help
Introduction Any electric current, or movement of charge carriers, produces a magnetic field. This field can become intense in a tightly coiled wire having many turns and carrying a large electric current. When a ferromagnetic rod, called a core , is ...

Magnetic Materials Help
Introduction Some substances cause magnetic lines of flux to bunch closer together than they are in the air; other materials cause the lines of flux to spread farther apart. The first kind of material is ferromagnetic. Substances of this type are, as we have ...
