ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my

principal Mr.Santhosh who gave an opportunity
to do this project. I am highly thankful to the
physics dept. And to our physics teacher
Mrs.P.C.Radha for her guidance and providing us
with the required information and equipments. I
also thank our physics lab attnd. Mr.velayudhan
for his help.

I would like to express my gratitude towards my

parents and friends for their kind cooperation and
encouragement which helped me in completion of
this project. I also owe my gratitude to almighty
for showering abundant blessings upon me.

 INTRODUCTION
When the temperature of a material is increased,
what is happening on the atomic scale is an
increase in the random motion of the atoms of
which the material is made. You may think that
random motion of atoms could affect the
alignment of magnetic domains, so that increasing
the temperature of a magnet would tend to
decrease its strength. In fact, each ferromagnetic
material has a curie temperature (named after
Pierre Curie), above which it can no longer be
magnetised. for soft iron, the Curie temperature is
over 1,300°C Your oven at home might get as hot
as 260°C, so obviously 1,300 is out of the question
for an investigatory project. But what happens to
the strength of a magnet over a more approachable
range of temperatures, for example from the
temperature of ice to the temperature of boiling
water? This project shows you how to find it out.
 THEORY
Magnets are frequently used in daily life. For example, magnets
are used in manufacturing, entertainment, security ,and they
play a crucial role in the functioning of computers. Even the
earth itself is a magnet.

A magnet is any object that produces a magnetic field. Some

magnets, referred to as permanent, hold their magnetism
without an external electrical current. A magnet of this nature
can be created by exposing a piece of metal containing iron to a
number of situations(i.e. repeatedly jarring the metal, heating
to high temperature).Soft magnets ,on the other hand, are those
that lose their magnetic charge properties over time.
Additionally, paramagnetic objects are those that can become
magnetic only when in the presence an external magnetic field.

A magnetic field is the space surrounding a magnet in which

magnetic force is exerted. The motion of negatively charged
electrons in the magnet determines only the polarity, but also
the strength of the magnet.
 PROCEDURE
You will test each magnet at 3 different temperatures:

0°C, The temperature of a water ice bath,

33°C, room temperature,

100°C, the temperature of boiling of water.

Before measuring each magnet’s strength at a given

temperature allow the magnet to equilibrate to the test
temperature for at least 15 minutes.

The tongs to place a magnet into a bowl filled with paper clips .
See how many clips the magnet can lift out.

For each temperature, calculate the average number of objects

each magnet picked up.

Set the magnet and paper clips down in an empty plastic bowl.
Wait until they are safe to touch before counting the number of
paper clips.

Record the number in your lab notebook for each magnet and
temperature tested.

Make a graph of magnetic strength , as measured by number of

objects (lifted y-axis) vs. Temperature (x-axis).
