Finding the NORTH POLE...When using magnetic therapy, it is EXTREMELY important to apply the proper pole to the achieve the desired effect. When we speak of the North Pole, we are talking about the SOUTH SEEKING POLE... this is the pole that will always face south when suspended freely from a string. Another method of determining poles is through the use of a magnometer. A final note... the needle on a compass will point to the SOUTH Pole of a magnet. |
Diagram A. Magnetic Field.
Diagram showing that the lines of force round the magnet's North and South poles.
Diagram B. Magnetic Poles.
Name given to the two areas on the earth's surface at which the direction of the magnetic field is vertical. In their neighborhood the magnetic compass ceases to take up a fixed direction.
Diagram C. Magnetic Fields.
Our research indicates that a magnet's magnetic field is twisted and drops to zero in the center, creating a figure 8. |
Domain Formation is caused by the spontaneous subdivision of a uniformly magnetized material (a). Division into two domains (b) lowers the external field energy of the material, as is evident from the shortened external magnetic lines of force... D in this example. D eliminates all external lines of force. The zone between domains, known as the Bloch wall, is shown in detail in D. The word domain means the energy at its peak as coming from the two poles.
