All magnetic
phenomena result
from forces between
electric charges in
motion.

Ampere first suggested in 1820 that
magnetic properties of matter were due to tiny
atomic currents
Every magnet has at least one north pole and one south pole. By
convention, we say that the magnetic field lines leave the North end
of a magnet and enter the South end of a magnet.
If you take a bar magnet and break it into two pieces, each piece will
again have a North pole and a South pole. If you take one of those
pieces and break it into two, each of the smaller pieces will have a
North pole and a South pole. No matter how small the pieces of the
magnet become, each piece will have a North pole and a South pole.

Magnetic Field Lines
Magnetic field lines describe the structure of magnetic fields
in three dimensions.They are defined as follows. If at any
point on such a line we place an ideal compass needle, free to
turn in any direction (unlike the usual compass needle, which
stays horizontal) then the needle will always point along the
field line.

A current is passed
through a loop which is
immersed in a magnetic
field. A force exists on
the top leg of the loop
which pulls the loop out
of the paper, while a
force on the bottom leg
of the loop pushes the The net effect of these forces is
loop into the paper. to rotate the loop.
