Notes:
𧲠Magnets are objects that experience attraction and repulsion
π§²The ends of a magnet are called poles, So magnets have two poles: a north and a south
π§²The like poles repel (push each other apart)
For example a north pole will repel a north pole and a south pole will repel a south pole
𧲠Unlike poles attract (move towards each other)
For example a north pole will be attracted to a south pole
𧲠Only a magnet can repel another magnet, Magnetic materials (which are not magnets) will always be attracted to the magnet, while Non-magnetic materials are not attracted or repelled as they do not interact with the magnetic field

𧲠There are two types of magnets
β Permanent magnets
β Induced magnets
𧲠Permanent magnets are made out of permanent magnetic materials, for example, steel
β A permanent magnet will produce its own magnetic field, and it will not lose its magnetism
π§²On the other hand, when a magnetic material is placed in a magnetic field, the material can temporarily be turned into a magnet, This is called induced magnetism
β Some objects, such as paperclips or needles (which are made from steel), can be magnetised and will remain magnetic for a while
β Other objects, such as electromagnets or transformers (which are made from iron), will be demagnetised as soon as the cause of the induced magnetism is removed
𧲠When magnetism is induced on a material:
One end of the material will become a north pole
The other end will become a south pole
Since magnetic materials will always be attracted to a permanent magnet, This means that the end of the material closest to the magnet will have the opposite pole to magnets pole closest to the material

β A magnetic field is defined as: "The region around a magnet where a force acts on another magnet or on a magnetic material (such as iron, steel, cobalt and nickel)"
OR "A region around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge within which the force of magnetism acts."
β A uniform field is created when two opposite poles are held close together.
β Magnetic fields are always directed from North to South
β A uniform magnetic field is one that has the same strength and direction at all points

β Magnetic field lines are used to represent the strength and direction of a magnetic field
βThe direction of the magnetic field is shown using arrows
β There are some rules that must be followed when drawing magnetic field lines.
γMagnetic field lines: Always go from north to south (indicated by an arrow midway along the line)
γ Must never touch or cross other field lines
β The magnetic field is strongest at the poles, This is where the magnetic field lines are closest together
βThe magnetic field becomes weaker as the distance from the magnet increases, This is because the magnetic field lines are getting further apart

MAXWELL'S RIGHT HAND SCREW RULE: If a right handed screw is turned such that its point travels along the direction of the current, the direction of rotation of the screw is the direction of the magnetic field.

AN ELECTRIC MOTOR
An electric motor converts electrical energy(electric current) into mechanical energy(rotational motion)
It consist of a rectangular coil of wire which can rotate freely between the poles of a permanent magnet
Electric current is supplied to the coil via a copper split ring commutator and two carbon brushes

ELECTROMAGNET
An electromagnet is made by winding wire coils in opposite directions around the two arms of a U-shape soft iron bar
An electromagnet is made by winding wire coils in opposite directions around the two arms of a U-shape soft iron bar
When current flows through the wire the ends of the soft iron become poles of a magnet: one a N-pole and the other a S-pole
The magnetism lasts as long as the current flows
The strength of the magnet increases if:
1. The number of turns around each of the U-bar is increased
2. The current is increased, and
3. the poles are made closer
Electromagnets are used for lifting magnetic materials, and in appliances such as electric bells and relays

π₯ Electromagnetism
This is a phenomenon which takes place due to the interaction of both magnetic field and the electric field.
Hence, electromagnetic field is the joint interaction of electric field and magnetic field.
π₯Force in an electromagnetic field
As discussed earlier that electromagnetic field is a combination of both electric and magnetic field.
Electric force = qE
q is the quantity of charge in Coulomb
E is the electric field intensity in N/C
Magnetic force = qvB
v is the velocity, B is the magnetic field strength measured in Tesla.
Thus
Electromagnetic force = q(E + vB)
