Magnetism
Motion of electrons create magnetic fields
In some atoms, spins cancel out Pauli exclusion
Whenever all electrons spin the same direction: magnetic field is produced
Magnetic domains In magnets: lined up
![Page 9: Tesla Tales](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062815/56816979550346895de17256/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Ferromagnetism: Permanent Magnets Electrons tend to line up in groups (Domains) Domains reinforce other domains
Turn material magnetic▪ Examples: Refrigerator Magnets, Bar Magnets,
Magnetite, Horseshoe Magnets, Hematite, etc…
Field can be lost Curie Point Electric Current▪ Degaussing
Bang It
![Page 10: Tesla Tales](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062815/56816979550346895de17256/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Ferromagnetism: Temporary Magnets Domains temporarily aligned Will keep magnetic field until
tampered Examples:▪ Paperclips, scissors, staples, thumb tacks,
pins, screwdrivers, refrigerator door, car doors, etc…▪ Anything that is magnetic, but will not keep
its field
![Page 11: Tesla Tales](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062815/56816979550346895de17256/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Paramagnetism: Temporary Magnets No force aligning domains
Randomly distributed Domains temporarily aligned by
strong field Will lose magnetic field when original
field is removed Examples: Aluminum can, copper wire,
gold jewelry, tungsten, etc…
![Page 12: Tesla Tales](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062815/56816979550346895de17256/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Diamagnetism: Counter Aligned Magnets
Domains temporarily aligned by strong field Will align in order to oppose
original field Faraday’s second law of
induction When a material whose
atoms do not normally have a magnetic field is placed in a strong field, their electrons will adjust in such a way as to create their own magnetic field opposing the external one.

1900: Free Electron Theory Electrical conduction in a solid is
caused by the bulk motion of electrons Each metal atom contributes an electron
that is free to roam Voltage briefly accelerates the electrons▪ Resistance is friction
Each electron is everywhere▪ Like a wave in a pool
![Page 27: Tesla Tales](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062815/56816979550346895de17256/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

1957: BCS Theory
BCS: Bardeen, Cooper, Schreiffer At low temperatures, some metals lose
resistance Atoms nearly stationary
Superconductivity results from the formation of Cooper pairs Two electrons partnered One follows the other
Results in frictionlessflow of electrons
