Magnetism and Magnets
- affect the operation of all electrical machines. Magnets are bodies that posses the property of orientation. These attract steel, iron, and its alloys. Two types: Natural magnets called lodestone, are iron ore of the chemical composition Fe3O4 which when suspended will point in the north-south direction. Man-made magnets magnetism is induced by passing electric current through coils wound around metallic cores. The magnetic property will be maintained even after the exciting current is stopped,

Classified: Permanent magnets -if hard grade steel and iron alloyed with aluminum , chromium , cobalt, copper, nickel and tungsten are used as core Electromagnets - soft steel , the magnetic property will exist only when the exciting current is present.

The electromagnets which are used more often than permanent magnets because of the possibility of varying the magnetic properties. These are used in practice in dynamo , circuit breakers , motor starters and voltageregulating devices.

Poles are ends of magnets where the magnetic property is concentrated. North pole is the end of magnets where the magnetic line of forces diverge towards the magnetic field South pole magnetic line of forces converge from the magnetic fields.

LAW OF ATTRACTION AND REPULSION
Charles A. Coulombs proved that the force between the poles of strength m1 and m2 is directly proportional to the product of the pole strengths and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the poles. In equation from: m1 m2 ------------ur uv s2
f =
10/19/2013
Where: f = force in dynes m1 and m2 pole strengths in cgs u.p. units ur = permeability of evacuated space uv = relative permeability of the medium s = distance between poles in cm
The relative permeability of the medium is the permeability of the medium divided by permeability of free space. If the medium is free space ur = 1
10/19/2013
In cgs , uv = 1 Hence , in cgs system:
m1 m2 f = ------------s2

Magnetic Field Strength
The strenght of the magnetic field at any point, also called magnetic field intensity, is defined by the force in dynes acting on a unit pole placed at the point. Equation: f H = -------m H = magnetic field intensity in dynes per u.p. f = force acting on a unit poile in dynes m = pole strenght in u.p.

Magnetic Flux ()
- Magnetic flux or flux is a collective term representing all the lines of forces leaving a north pole or entering a south pole of a magnet - Quantity of magnetism - Units: cgs - maxwells mks - webers
10/19/2013
18
Magnetix Flux Density ( )
is the number of flux lines per unit area, the area being at right angles to the direction of the flux Units: English - maxwells / square inches CGS - maxwells / square cm MKS - webers / square meter
10/19/2013
19
In equation : = ---A If the area is not normal to the flux, its component perpendicular to the area must be used.
