Magnetic Force01:18

Magnetic Force

In addition to the electric forces between electric charges, moving electric charges exert magnetic forces on each other. A magnetic field is created by a moving charge or a group of moving charges known as the electric current. A magnetic force is experienced by a second current or moving charge in response to this magnetic field. Fundamentally, interactions between moving electrons in the atoms of two bodies produce magnetic forces between them.
The magnetic force acting on a moving charge...

Other Unique Bacteria01:18

Other Unique Bacteria

Magnetic bacteria exhibit a directed movement called magnetotaxis, driven by structures called magnetosomes. These magnetosomes consist of chains of magnetic particles made of either magnetite (Fe₃O₄) or greigite (Fe₃S₄) and are organized in a linear conformation by a protein scaffold within invaginations of the cell membrane. The bacteria align along the north–south magnetic field lines, much like a compass needle. They are typically microaerophilic or anaerobic...

Earth's Magnetic Field01:19

Earth's Magnetic Field

Earth’s Magnetic FieldEarth has an invisible shield that protects us from harmful space radiation. This shield is called the magnetic field, and it is generated by the movement of molten iron in Earth’s outer core. The magnetic field extends into space, forming the magnetosphere, which deflects charged particles from the Sun. By studying Earth's magnetic field, scientists can learn more about navigation, space weather, and planetary motion.Science and Engineering Practices (SEP):...

Magnetism

Magnets are commonly found in everyday objects, such as toys, hangers, elevators, doorbells, and computer devices. Experimentation on these magnets shows that all magnets have two poles: one is labeled north (N) and the other south (S). Magnetic poles repel if they are alike and attract if unlike. Moreover, both poles of a magnet attract unmagnetized pieces of iron.
An individual magnetic pole cannot be isolated. No matter how small, every piece of a magnet contains a north pole and a south...

Magnetic Evidence for Seafloor Spreading01:30

Magnetic Evidence for Seafloor Spreading

Magnetic Evidence for Seafloor SpreadingOne of the strongest pieces of evidence for seafloor spreading comes from magnetic patterns recorded in oceanic rocks. Earth’s magnetic field has flipped many times, meaning the north and south magnetic poles have switched places. When molten rock cools and solidifies at mid-ocean ridges, the magnetic minerals inside align with Earth's magnetic field at that time. These alternating magnetic stripes on the ocean floor prove that new crust constantly...
Magnetic Polarity Evidence for Continental Drift01:30

Magnetic Polarity Evidence for Continental Drift

Magnetic Polarity Evidence for Continental DriftOne of the most substantial pieces of evidence supporting continental drift and plate tectonics comes from Earth’s magnetic field. Over millions of years, Earth’s magnetic polarity has reversed many times, meaning the north and south magnetic poles have switched places. When molten rock cools and solidifies at mid-ocean ridges, the magnetic minerals inside align with Earth's magnetic field at that time. This creates striped patterns on the...
