Extractions: Introduction. This dissertation is an exploration of the realm of magnetism and the expression of the phenomenon on the planetary scale. The work begins with a brief study of the terminology of magnetism, how the forces involved are defined - both qualitatively and quantitatively - , and the units employed to gauge their strength. After this will be a short foray into the manner in which magnetism is exhibited by various types of materials. While an in depth mathematical treatment of magnetism is beyond the scope of this work, section two seeks to review a degree of superficial mathematical detail so as to afford a better understanding of certain of the phraseology that crops up later, in particular respect of the examinations of the intrinsic fields of the planets. Section three explores the many ways in which magnetic fields are generated, paying special (though strictly qualitative) attention to the favoured means by which the Earth's field is thought to be generated - Dynamo theory. The focus changes slightly in the following two chapters, contemplating the large scale manifestations of magnetic fields and their influence on the environment. The solar system is dominated by the heliosphere - the Sun's magnetosphere - and any object within its influence must necessarily interact in some way with the supersonic plasma flowing out from the Sun. The intrinsically magnetized planets' fields are able to produce cavities around their planets, protecting them from the solar wind. The solar wind - magnetosphere interactions are addressed, as are the electrodynamic forces at work

Extractions: Site Map The ancient Greeks, originally those near the city of Magnesia, and also the early Chinese knew about strange and rare stones (possibly chunks of iron ore struck by lightning) with the power to attract iron. A steel needle stroked with such a "lodestone" became "magnetic" as well, and around 1000 the Chinese found that such a needle, when freely suspended, pointed north-south. The magnetic compass soon spread to Europe. Columbus used it when he crossed the Atlantic ocean, noting not only that the needle deviated slightly from exact north (as indicated by the stars) but also that the deviation changed during the voyage. Around 1600 William Gilbert, physician to Queen Elizabeth I of England, proposed an explanation: the Earth itself was a giant magnet, with its magnetic poles some distance away from its geographic ones (i.e. near the points defining the axis around which the Earth turns). On Earth one needs a sensitive needle to detect magnetic forces, and out in space they are usually much, much weaker. But beyond the dense atmosphere, such forces have a much bigger role, and a region exists around the Earth where they dominate the environment, a region known as the Earth's magnetosphere . That region contains a mix of electrically charged particles, and electric and magnetic phenomena rather than gravity determine its structure. We call it the Earth's

Extractions: Magnetic Field Magnetic fields are produced by electric currents , which can be macroscopic currents in wires, or microscopic currents associated with electrons in atomic orbits. The magnetic field B is defined in terms of force on moving charge in the Lorentz force law . The interaction of magnetic field with charge leads to many practical applications . Magnetic field sources are essentially dipolar in nature, having a north and south magnetic pole. The SI unit for magnetic field is the Tesla, which can be seen from the magnetic part of the Lorentz force law F magnetic = qvB to be composed of (Newton x second)/(Coulomb x meter).

Extractions: Magnetic Force The magnetic field B is defined from the Lorentz Force Law , and specifically from the magnetic force on a moving charge: The implications of this expression include: 1. The force is perpendicular to both the velocity v of the charge q and the magnetic field B. 2. The magnitude of the force is F = qvB sin where is the angle right hand rule . The force relationship above is in the form of a vector product From the force relationship above it can be deduced that the units of magnetic field are Newton seconds /(Coulomb meter) or Newtons per Ampere meter. This unit is named the Tesla. It is a large unit, and the smaller unit Gauss is used for small fields like the Earth's magnetic field. A Tesla is 10,000 Gauss.

Extractions: Next: Gauss' law for magnetic Up: Magnetism and magnetic fields Previous: The magnetic field of We now know of two distinct methods of generating a magnetic field. We can either use a permanent magnet, such as a piece of loadstone, or we can run a current around an electric circuit. Are these two methods fundamentally different, or are they somehow related to one another? Let us investigate further. As illustrated in the diagram below, the external magnetic fields generated by a solenoid and a conventional bar magnet are remarkably similar in appearance. Incidentally, these fields can easily be mapped out using iron filings. The above observation allows us to formulate two alternative hypotheses for the origin of the magnetic field of a bar magnet. The first hypotheses is that the field of a bar magnet is produced by solenoid-like currents which flow around the outside of the magnet, in an anti-clockwise direction as we look along the magnet from its north to its south pole. There is no doubt, by analogy with a solenoid, that such currents would generate the correct sort of field outside the magnet. The second hypothesis is that the field is produced by a positive magnetic monopole located close to the north pole of the magnet in combination with a negative monopole of equal magnitude located close to the south pole of the magnet. What is a magnetic monopole? Well, it is basically the magnetic equivalent of an electric charge. A positive magnetic monopole is an isolated magnetic north pole. We would expect magnetic field lines to radiate away from such an object, just as electric field lines radiate away from a positive electric charge. Likewise, a negative magnetic monopole is an isolated magnetic south pole. We would expect magnetic field lines to radiate towards such an object, just as electric field lines radiate towards a negative electric charge. The magnetic field patterns generated by both types of monopole are sketched below. If we place a positive monopole close to the north pole of a bar magnet and a negative monopole of the same magnitude close to the south pole, then the resultant magnetic field pattern is obtained by

Extractions: The purpose of this Healing Trial is to study the effect of the QRS Quantron Resonance System unit that uses pulsating magnetic fields to stimulate the healing process. Rather than studying diseases, we will be looking at health and well-being. Of course, those with diseases may participate! The QRS uses low-intensity, pulsating magnetic fields. After 20 years of research/development and about ten years of use in Europe, and five years of use in the United States, the QRS Quantron Resonance System, has shown itself to be very effective and very safe at stimulating healing. Some of the studies can be found here. The majority of the research is in German. Now, we must determine objectively just how effective the QRS really is. For that, we need you to join us in using the QRS, and reporting the results. The QRS is a pad one lays on. The pad is connected to a computerized control panel that causes the pad to generate very gentle magnetic waves. These waves are in intensities that have been judged safe by FDA. Typical treatments are from 8-15 minutes, two to three times daily. In severe cases, additional treatments can be used.

Site Map What Is Electricity? Static Electricity Electricity History Basic Electricity Solar Electricity Electricity Prices Electricity And Magnetism Electricity Generation ABOUT US CONTACT US CLASSIFIEDS One aspect of electricity that we are familiar with in our everyday lives is that of static cling - when two objects, such as a piece of Saran wrap and a wool sweater, are rubbed together, they cling. One feature of this that we don't encounter too often is static ``repulsion'' - if each piece of Saran wrap is rubbed on the wool sweater, then the pieces of Saran wrap will repel when brought near each other. These phenomena are interpreted in terms of the objects acquiring an electric charge , which has the following features: There are two types of charge, which by convention are labelled positive and negative Like charges repel, and unlike charges attract.
