Program Format
1. Permanent Magnet2. Copper Pipes3. The Floating Paper Clip4. Muscle Magnet5. Ring Magnets6. Plotting Magnetic Fields7. The Magnetometer Test8. The Electromagnet
Objectives
To illustrate how the alignment of individual particles in magnetic materials make a permanent magnetTo illustrate Lenz's law and eddy currentsTo help students visualize and understand magnetic force and to illustrate levitationTo illustrate that all magnets attract magnetic materials and to show that some parts of a magnet are stronger than othersTo illustrate repulsion and attractionTo illustrate lines of magnetic fields when two magnets attract each otherTo compare the strengths of different magnetsTo illustrate how electric current can be used to make a magnetTo illustrate how magnetism can be used to produce electricity
