Do Magnets Have Prefered Working Conditions, Like Temperature?

Improved Essays
Do magnets have prefered working temperatures? From electronic devices to letters on the refrigerator, magnets exist in almost every room at home, in school, and in the workplace. Some magnets are used as sorters, memory storage, or even just to hang things on the fridge. Yet, how much is even known about these magnets and what they do? Has anyone ever wondered if these magnets have prefered working conditions, like temperature? Or if they work better in hot or cold environments? “In ancient times the Greeks and Chinese discovered a rare type of stone called lodestones, they were naturally magnetic”(“Integrated Magnetics”). These magnetic stones would always point in the same direction and they would use them to guide ships. Also, the name for magnets came from the greek district that they believe magnetic rocks were first found. In the 1800’s the first human made magnet was constructed from various alloys. A magnet is an object that produces a magnetic field around itself and can attract materials to it. The magnetic field around a magnet is the limit of the magnetic field of a magnet. These fields do not go that far out from the magnet and are different at each end of a magnet, due to its north and south poles. …show more content…
This is influenced by the magnetic line of force. Magnetic line of Force, on a magnet, will start from the north pole and end at the south pole of the magnet. These magnetic fields are what will draw magnets to each other's opposite magnetic pole. This explains what will happen when a large magnet grabs a smaller magnet and brings it to one of its magnetic poles, opposite of the smaller magnets pole facing it. This means that when two of the same poles of two different magnets are put together they will never try to connect. Because, they will only connect with the opposite pole that will please their magnetic

    Assignment 2: Pacemaker causes death after contradiction with MRI scan A pacemaker is a medical device that is located in the chest area to regulate abnormal heart rate. This is possible with the generation of small amount of electric impulses that sends electrodes to contract the heart at its atrioventricular (AV) node. (PacemakerDiagram) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan is a medical imaging technique that creates images from different angles the body for diagnostic purposes. The principle behind an MRI scan is a strong and constant magnetic field and radiofrequency.…

However, that does not mean that everyone who purchases a mosquito trap is 100% satisfied with the way it performs. In most cases, their issues could be solved if they simply take a look at where their trap is located. In order to have the trap work as well as it can, you need to make sure you understand the right Mosquito Magnet trap placement.…

    MRI stands for Magnetic Resonance Imaging. Dictionary.com defines it as a noninvasive diagnostic procedure employing an MR scanner to obtain detailed sectional images of the internal structure of the body. From my own prior knowledge, Magnetic Resonance Imaging is a technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues within the human body. The idea for Magnetic Resonance Imaging was initially conceived by Damadian in 1971 after he recognized that under nuclear magnetic resonance certain mouse tumors would display elevated relaxation times compared with normal tissues in vitro.…

    In the early years of airborne magnetics they could only reliably detect the bigger UXO’s as they were more easily identifiable due to their size and their strong magnetic density contrast. The new boomer technology now allows us to be able to find, identify, and extract smaller ordnance reliably if conditions are ideal. Airborne magnetics significantly depends on the terrain that is being surveyed. If there is Basaltic rocks or other geology that is ferrous in nature it would mean problems for the extremely sensitive magnetometers aboard these aircrafts as many false positives would show up in the data (Doll,…

    Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION The study of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) draws from two well known branches of physics, electrodynamics and hydrodynamics. The basic laws of electrodynamics described in the form of Maxwell’s Equations where The hydrodynamics of a fluid is expressed in the form of conservation laws of mass, momentum and energy. The magnetohydrodynamic phenomena are a consequence of the mutual interaction of the fluid flow and the magnetic field. As is well known, a conductor crossing magnetic field lines gives rise to an induced electric field, which causes an electric current in the conducting fluid.…

    The current flowing in the coil is directly proportional to the magnetic field produced and sequentially the rate of the motion. In addition, torque is produced concurrently with the movement of the conductors in the magnetic field (Hambley et al., 2008). This causes an induced electromotive force (emf), which counteracts the applied voltage. Figure 3: Induced voltage in the armature winding of DC motor (Hambley et al.,…
