    Magnetism is the force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other. A magnet is a substance that possesses magnetic properties and produces a magnetic field. Opposite poles attract, same poles repel. Solenoids are coils or current-carrying wires that produces a magnetic field and are also called electromagnets. Electromagnetic induction is the creation of an electromotive force by a moving magnetic field around a conductor or moving a conductor through a static magnetic field. Generators convert mechanical energy to electrical energy through electromagnetic induction, with AC generators producing alternating current and DC generators producing direct current. Power plants use electric generators fueled by various energy sources to produce electricity on a large scale.

    Magnetism
    - The force exerted by magnets when they attract or repel each other.

    Magnets
    - Where first discovered to have come from lodestones.
    - Is a substance that possesses magnetic properties
    - A material or object produces a magnetic field
    - Magnets can be permanent magnets, ferromagnets, or electromagnets.
    o permanent Magnet
    - Lodestone, magentite, neodymium, alnico (aluminum, nickel, cobalt)
    o ferro magnet
    - Iron, steel, aluminum, nickel
    o electromagnet
    - Battery copper metal
    Lodestone come from the Anglo-Saxon word that means “leading stone”
     Naturally magnetized piece of the mineral magnetite
     Has a property of attracting iron particles

    Magnetic Field
    - Is a region of space where a magnetic force is felt.

    Magnetic Field Lines


     The magnetic field lines have the following characteristics:
     The lines always originate from the magnetic north pole.
     The field lines do not cross another one.
     The closer the magnetic field lines to one another, the stronger the magnetic field.
    Rules of Magnets
    - Opposite poles, attract
    - Similar poles, repels

    Danish Scientist Hans Christian Oersted (1777 – 1851)


    - Discovered that an electric current is surrounded by a magnetic field
    - Oersted Law – states that a current-carrying wire produces a magnetic field

    Electromagnetism
    - Flowing charges produces current and this current sets up a magnetic field along the wire and
    form concentric circle.
    - When the current-carrying material is place near a magnet, the wire may be attracted or repelled
    and if the wire is brought between the poles of a magnet, the magnetic force will push the wire
    upward or downward
    - The direction of the magnetic force in this current-carrying wire can be demonstrate by using the
    right-hand rule
    - The magnitude of the force can be determine using this equation:

    The magnitude of the force can


    be determine using this equation:

    F = ILB
    Where:
    F = magnitude of the force
    L = length of the wire
    B = strength of the magnetic field

    Electromagnets
    - When the current-carrying wire produces a magnetic field,
    - The wire becomes an electromagnet.
    - An electromagnet is a magnet that can be switch on and off
    - A Solenoid with a core
    - The strength of an electromagnet can be made stronger
    - by increasing the number of turn in the coil

    Magnetism
    is the force
    exerted by
    magnets
    when they attract or repel each other
    A magnet is a substance that possesses magnetic properties. It is a material or object that
    produces a magnetic field
    Opposite poles attract, same poles repel
    Solenoids are coils or current-carrying wires that produces a magnetic field. They are also called
    air-core magnetics

    Electromagnetic Induction
    Electromagnetic induction is the creation of an electro-motive force by way of a moving magnetic field
    around an electric conductor and, conversely, the creation of current by moving an electric conductor
    through a static magnetic field.

     Principles of Electromagnetic Induction


    - Michael Faraday (1791 – 1867)
    - An English Scientist who first successfully observed Electromagnetic Induction by
    introducing a magnet into a coil of copper wire.
    - Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction

    Faraday’s Law of Induction


    Based on his experiment Faraday formulated 2 Laws of Electromagnetic Induction:
    A. Whenever there is a change in the magnetic flux linked with a coil, an electromotive force
    (EMF) is induced.
    B. Factors affecting the magnitude of the EMF
    i. Change in Magnetic Flux
    ii. Time in which the Flux changes

     Principles of Electromagnetic Induction


    - A German Scientist, Heinrich Friedrich Emil Lenz (1804 – 1865)
    - Formulates Lenz’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction
    - States that the direction of the electric current induced in a conductor by a changing
    magnetic field is such that the magnetic field created by the induced current opposes
    changes in the initial magnetic field.

    Application of Magnetic Field Forces
    o Loudspeakers
    Speaker works using the principle of Electromagnetic Induction to produce sound waves
    o Electric Motors
    A device that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy by applying the principle
    of electromagnetic induction
    o Hard Disk
    A device that stores information using magnetism

    Electromagnetic Induction in Power Generation


     Generators
    - a device that converts mechanical energy to electrical energy through electromagnetic
    induction
    Two
    Classification
    of Electric
    Generator
     AC Generator
    A machine that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. The output is alternating
    electrical power in the form of alternating voltage and current.
     DC Generator
    A DC generator is an electrical machine whose main function is to convert mechanical energy
    into electricity. In a DC generator, the electrical current flows only in one direction.

    Power Plants
    - are industrial facilities that generate electricity using electric generators
    Types of Power Plants
    : Geothermal, Nuclear, Coal, Solar, Wind, and Hydroelectric Power Plant
