00:00:00.500 --> 00:00:03.975
Welcome to GCSE Edexcel Science revision.

00:00:04.125 --> 00:00:07.722
Unit C P 10: Magnetism and the motor effect.

00:00:10.400 --> 00:00:14.394
A permanent magnet produces its own lasting magnetic field.

00:00:14.544 --> 00:00:21.508
An induced magnet becomes magnetised in another field and can lose much of that magnetism when the field is removed.

00:00:24.167 --> 00:00:27.183
Magnets have north-seeking and south-seeking poles.

00:00:27.333 --> 00:00:30.305
Like poles repel; unlike poles attract.

00:00:30.455 --> 00:00:37.524
An isolated ordinary north pole cannot be obtained by simply cutting a magnet in half: each piece has both poles.

00:00:37.674 --> 00:00:41.251
The arrows show forces on the magnets; like poles repel.

00:00:45.933 --> 00:00:50.319
Iron, nickel, cobalt and many alloys containing them can be magnetic.

00:00:50.469 --> 00:01:00.738
Steel can retain magnetism, making it suitable for permanent magnets; soft iron magnetises and demagnetises readily, suiting temporary electromagnet cores.

00:01:03.400 --> 00:01:09.811
An initially unmagnetised magnetic material is attracted towards a magnet through induced magnetism.

00:01:09.961 --> 00:01:15.592
Aluminium, copper and plastic are not the usual magnetic materials in this GCSE model.

00:01:18.267 --> 00:01:24.523
Uses include magnetic catches or locks, sorting iron-containing materials, motors and speakers.

00:01:24.673 --> 00:01:29.185
The choice of permanent or switchable magnet depends on the intended task.

00:01:31.867 --> 00:01:38.083
A magnetic field is a region where magnets or magnetic materials experience magnetic forces.

00:01:38.233 --> 00:01:42.185
Field lines show the direction a north-seeking test pole would move.

00:01:44.867 --> 00:01:48.601
Outside a bar magnet, field lines go from north to south.

00:01:48.751 --> 00:01:53.351
Lines form loops, continuing inside from south to north, and do not cross.

00:01:53.501 --> 00:01:56.145
Field lines form loops and do not cross.

00:02:00.800 --> 00:02:04.483
Closer field-line spacing represents a stronger field.

00:02:04.633 --> 00:02:08.075
Around a bar magnet, the field is strongest near the poles.

00:02:10.733 --> 00:02:16.109
A uniform field is represented by parallel, equally spaced lines in one direction.

00:02:16.259 --> 00:02:19.925
It can be approximated in the gap between broad opposing poles.

00:02:22.600 --> 00:02:30.449
Use a plotting compass to map a field: mark the direction of its north-seeking end at successive positions, then join marks with arrows.

00:02:30.599 --> 00:02:34.163
Move the compass systematically and keep the magnet fixed.

00:02:36.833 --> 00:02:41.451
Iron filings show the field's pattern but not its direction by themselves.

00:02:41.601 --> 00:02:44.331
A compass provides directional information.

00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.731
A compass turns to align with Earth’s field.

00:02:49.881 --> 00:02:56.781
Near geographic north, Earth has the magnetic character of a south pole, attracting a compass's north-seeking end.

00:02:59.433 --> 00:03:04.883
Earth's field is approximately dipole-shaped and provides evidence of a magnetic interior;

00:03:05.033 --> 00:03:08.276
its origin is moving conducting material in the core,

00:03:08.426 --> 00:03:11.327
not a permanent solid bar magnet at the centre.

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:17.028
A current in a wire produces a magnetic field.

00:03:17.178 --> 00:03:22.905
A nearby compass deflects when the current is switched on; reversing current reverses the deflection.

00:03:25.567 --> 00:03:30.463
Around a long straight wire, field lines are concentric circles centred on the wire.

00:03:30.613 --> 00:03:35.055
The field becomes weaker further from the wire and stronger for a larger current.

00:03:37.733 --> 00:03:44.868
Use the right-hand grip rule: thumb points in conventional-current direction and curled fingers show the field direction.

00:03:45.018 --> 00:03:48.647
A dot means out of the page; a cross means into the page.

00:03:51.300 --> 00:03:55.577
For current out of the page, the circular field is anticlockwise as viewed.

00:03:55.727 --> 00:03:58.645
For current into the page, the field is clockwise.

00:03:58.795 --> 00:04:02.881
Right-hand thumb points towards you; fingers curl anticlockwise.

00:04:07.533 --> 00:04:09.624
A solenoid is a coil of wire.

00:04:09.774 --> 00:04:18.391
Its individual turns combine to produce a strong nearly uniform field along its interior, with a weaker external pattern resembling a bar magnet.

00:04:18.541 --> 00:04:22.048
Reversing current reverses the poles and field direction.

00:04:26.700 --> 00:04:32.437
Increase solenoid field using greater current, more turns per unit length or a soft-iron core.

00:04:32.587 --> 00:04:37.535
The field can be switched on or off with current; reversing current reverses the poles.

00:04:40.200 --> 00:04:46.066
Use low-voltage supplies, limit current and switch off when not measuring to avoid wire overheating.

00:04:46.216 --> 00:04:51.101
Compare electromagnets with a repeatable measure, such as the mass they can lift.

00:04:53.767 --> 00:05:00.015
A current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field can experience a force due to interaction of the fields.

00:05:00.165 --> 00:05:05.316
The magnet experiences an equal and opposite force; these act on different objects.

00:05:07.967 --> 00:05:11.599
The motor effect is this force on a current-carrying conductor.

00:05:11.749 --> 00:05:16.752
It can produce movement; reversing current or field reverses the force direction.

00:05:19.433 --> 00:05:25.406
The force is greatest when current is perpendicular to the magnetic field and zero when parallel.

00:05:25.556 --> 00:05:29.867
Reversing both current and field leaves the force direction unchanged.

00:05:32.533 --> 00:05:38.260
Fleming’s left-hand rule uses the thumb, first finger and second finger at right angles to each other.

00:05:38.410 --> 00:05:46.953
Thumb indicates force or motion; first finger indicates magnetic field from north to south; second finger indicates conventional current.

00:05:49.633 --> 00:05:53.923
If field points right and current is out of the page, force is upwards.

00:05:54.073 --> 00:05:57.555
If current is into the page instead, force is downwards.

00:05:57.705 --> 00:06:01.994
Fleming’s left-hand rule gives these three perpendicular directions.

00:06:06.667 --> 00:06:16.073
Do not confuse the two rules: right-hand grip finds a wire's own field; Fleming’s left hand finds the motor-effect force when current and external field are known.

00:06:18.733 --> 00:06:25.164
For a straight conductor at right angles to a uniform magnetic field, F equals B times I times length L.

00:06:25.314 --> 00:06:31.702
Force F is in newtons, flux density B in tesla, current I in amperes and length L in metres.

00:06:34.367 --> 00:06:37.669
Use only the length of wire actually inside the field.

00:06:37.819 --> 00:06:43.738
Convert centimetres to metres; the equation as written assumes perpendicular current and field.

00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:55.455
For B equals zero point five tesla, I equals two amperes and length L equals zero point one metres, F equals zero point one newtons.

00:06:55.605 --> 00:07:00.542
Increasing any one factor increases force proportionally if the others stay fixed.

00:07:00.692 --> 00:07:03.646
Length L is the length within the magnetic field.

00:07:08.300 --> 00:07:20.053
Rearrange to B equals F divided by the product I times length L; I equals F divided by the product B times length L; or length L equals F divided by the product B times I.

00:07:20.203 --> 00:07:25.567
Magnetic flux density B measures how strong the magnetic field is in this relationship.

00:07:25.717 --> 00:07:28.931
It is measured in tesla, not newtons or joules.

00:07:31.600 --> 00:07:34.489
That completes Magnetism and the motor effect.

00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:37.984
