The Force Between Two Bar Magnets

Origins of Magnetism

Magnetic Domains

• What would happen if you cut the magnet in half (between the north and south poles)?

Inside Permanent Magnets (and Ferromagnetic Materials)

Magnets Always Have Two Poles

Magnetic Field of a Bar Magnet

Thought Questions

• Do you notice anything strange about the direction of the field lines? Which way does the compass point?

• Draw field lines for the Earth’s magnetic field.

Group Discussion

• Walker, Chapter 22 (pp. 742-743)

• Conceptual Questions:– Questions 2-10 and 17-21

• Groups of three:– “Concept artist” to draw fields– “Recorder” to record answer & explanation– “Reporter” to report findings at the end of class
