Magnetic energy is the magnetic force that keeps a magnet under its north pole and its south pole. A magnet is a very strong attracting object that attracts some types of metals toward it (draws them toward itself), while pushing away other metals. Understanding magnetism is important in knowing how it works and why it is so useful for scientific purposes. Magnetism is the only natural, inherent energy that exists, apart from heat, light, nuclear fission, and the fusion of two atomic particles. Though there are many forces of nature that contribute to the development of energy, none of these other forces produce energy on their own. In a way, magnetism is a bridge between natural, fundamental forces and modern scientific technologies that are designed to harness this subtle energy.
When a magnet works with a piece of iron, the magnetism and iron’s nucleus, or poles, work to make the magnet either permanent or motionless. Thus, if the piece of iron is kept in a magnetic field, the magnetism will continue forever, regardless of what it does to the contact steel. When the iron is moved, the magnetism pulls the metal away from the source of the movement. Thus, a magnet is created when some material is placed in a magnet field. In order to understand the full effects of magnetism, we must know how the magnetism causes the magnetic field and how it contributes to its motion.
The initial properties of magnetism are slightly negative in nature. Thus, most magnets do not produce a rotation motion. The way that they respond to an external force is by creating a small amount of resistance, which is referred to as the radial force. The larger the size of the object, the greater the radial force, and the stronger the attraction. This property of magnetism can be used to create a number of different kinds of temporary magnets.
Temporary magnets are very popular in science projects and are often made by welding together two or more pieces of magnetized conductive metals, such as aluminum and copper, to create a continuous piece. Many different designs are possible with temporary magnets. For instance, two pieces of copper were spun in a centrifuge while held parallel to each other. When the magnets turned, the copper atoms spun around the axis and created a magnetic force that was directed to the third piece of copper, which was magnetized with north poles.
Another form of magnetism is created through the use of electromagnetic induction. This is the level 4 versions of magnetism, and is the basis for many commonly used consumer products, including GPS systems. The magnets used in this type of technology to produce a level of magnetic field that is strong enough to induce strong electric currents.
A third form of magnetism is created through the coupling of permanent magnets with electrically conductive materials. For example, there are two types of electrical connector: the electromagnetic induction coupler and the permanent magnet coupler. Electromagnets in the electromagnetic induction coupler couples the permanent magnet magnets with an AC current, which is induced through the use of a direct current. A similar effect can be achieved through the coupling of permanent magnets with the flat surface opposite the applied electric current. In this case, the applied current is not strong enough to induce currents of all voltages, which is why these types of electromagnetic inductors are sometimes referred to as conductors.
The fourth type of magnetism is most closely associated with the study of electricity and magnetism – the electric force. The study of this force is currently undergoing a rapid development and has the potential to have a wide range of applications in many fields, including energy production, telecommunications, and the transfer of electric power to devices at remote locations. The study of static electricity has also produced a large number of experimental devices for the manipulation of electric fields. These experiments demonstrate that the strength of electric and magnetic fields can vary, which suggests that we may one day construct electric generators that produce electric currents on a widespread scale.
The last two different forms of magnetism, those of the earth and of space-based electrons, exhibit essentially the same overall characteristics. In both cases, the earth acts like a huge magnet, attracting and repulsion the charged particles that make up its surface. Space-based electrons act like conductors, attracting and repelling the field that surrounds them. The earth also possesses a field of static electricity, which acts like a powerful current in itself, without the aid of any external charges.
