Magnetism in medicine , Electromagnet

 

                        Electromagnet

A electromagnet consists of a core of soft iron wrapped with a coil of insulated copper wire

When s current is flowing through a solenoid , a strong magnetic field is produced inside a solenoid which can be used to magnetise a piece  of magnetic material (like soft iron ) when placed inside the coil . the magnet so formed is called as electromagnet.

 

 

Magnetism in medicine:--

 

·     An electric current is always produced a magnetic field.

·     Every weak ion current produces a magnetic field. Every weak ion current that travel along the nerve cells in our body produce a magnetic field.

·     When we touch something , our nerve cells carry an electric impulses to the muscles we need to use.

·     This impulse produce a temporary magnetic field. These magnetic field are very weak and are one-billionth of the earth’s magnetic field.

·     Hearth and brain are the two main organs of the human body to produce the magnetic field which is significant.

·     The magnetic field inside the body forms the basis of obtaining the images of the different body parts. This is done by the help of a technique called Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI).

·     These images help in medical diagnosis.

So in medicines , magnetism play  important role.

METAL And Chemical Properties of metals

  METAL Metal is a element that has metallic bond and have positive ions or cations. Metal is a lattice of positive ions that are surrounded by the cloud of the electrons. In the pure state, metal have a shining surface. This properties are called metallic luster . Here, metals are generally hard. Metals are malleable, because they can be hammered into thin sheets. This property is called as malleability . Metals are ductile it means they can be drawn into wires. The ability of the metals to be drawn into thin wires is called as ductility . For example:--   gold is most ductile metal. Due to the properties of the ductility and malleability, metals can be given in different shapes as per their needs. Metals are opaque Metals are lustrous elements that are good conductor of heat and electricity. Metals are denser than the other substances. Metals are good conductor of heat. For example :-- silver and copper. Lead and mercury are poor conductors of heat. ...

Some basic terms regarding the spherical mirror

Image
  Some basic terms regarding the spherical mirror:--   Pole:--            The center of the reflecting surface of the spherical mirror is a point. Pole is represented by the letter P . and it lies on the surface of the mirror.   Center of a curvature:--                                          The center of a curvature is a point of the reflecting surface of the   spherical mirror that forms a part of the sphere and this sphere has a center is known as center of a curvature. It is denoted by the letter C . in the concave mirror, the center of a curvature lies in front of the mirror. And in the convex mirror , the center of curvature lies behind the mirror.   Radius of a curvature:--  ...

Sound waves are longitudinal waves, Sound waves are transverse wave, Difference between the transverse waves and longitudinal waves

  Sound waves are longitudinal waves   Longitudinal waves are waves in which the vibration of the medium is parallel or along to the direction the waves travels and displacement of the medium is the same or the opposite direction of the wave propagation. In the sound waves, the particles of the medium vibrate in the direction parallel to the direction of propagation of disturbances. Hence, the sound waves are also called as longitudinal waves. Take an example:- Take a slinky and hold the slinky from both sides and stretch the slinky. When we compress one end of the slinky and release it, it experiences a wave of the compression which travels to the length of it, stretching follows it. The coil of the slinky has a point that moves with the waves and returns from the same path. While returning, it passes from the neutral position and then again reverse its position. If we mark a dot on the slinky, we will find that the dot on the slinky will move back and forth parall...
