iGCSE Physics - 4.1 Simple Phenomena of Magnetism

**This Powerpoint specifically covers all criteria for –
Unit 4.1 Simple Phenomena of Magnetism
**

Describe the forces between magnetic poles and between magnets and magnetic materials, including the use of the terms north pole (N pole), south pole (S pole), attraction and repulsion, magnetised and unmagnetised

Describe induced magnetism

State the differences between the properties of temporary magnets (made of soft iron) and the properties of permanent magnets (made of steel

State the difference between magnetic and non-magnetic materials

Describe a magnetic field as a region in which a magnetic pole experiences a force

Draw the pattern and direction of magnetic field lines around a bar magnet

State that the direction of a magnetic field at a point is the direction of the force on the N pole of a magnet at that point

Describe the plotting of magnetic field lines with a compass or iron filings and the use of a compass to determine the direction of the magnetic field

Describe the uses of permanent magnets and electromagnets

**Every Powerpoint includes learning objectives, a starter and plenary, suitable activities and review questions with mark scheme. We also provide a FREE pdf version which can be used as a handout for students and can be easily uploaded to any school’s VLE system.
