Describe how to use two permanent magnets to produce a uniform magnetic field pattern

6.7 describe how to use two permanent magnets to produce a uniform magnetic field pattern

Describe how to use two permanent magnets to produce a uniform magnetic field pattern

when magnetic field lines are the same distance away from each other, it forms a uniform magnetic field pattern 

when two opposite poles are put next to each other, the magnetic field lines will all be going from the north to south pole, perpendicular to the magnets

Magnets repel and attract other magnets, and attract magnetic substances. Magnetic fields can be shown using field lines. Magnetism is induced in some materials when placed in a magnetic field.

Get 2 bar magnets, holding the opposite poles (i.e. North and South) very close to each other. This will cause an attraction and will also produce a uniform magnetic field pattern.

Uniform magnetic field:

  • If you put two opposite poleclose to each other, they will attract and make a uniform magnetic field.
  • The closer together, the stronger the magnetic field.
