1. Magnetic Poles and Magnetic Materials | 磁极与磁性材料
A magnet has two poles: north (N) and south (S). Like poles repel, unlike poles attract. Only a few materials, such as iron, nickel, and cobalt, are ferromagnetic and can be strongly magnetised. Steel is an alloy that can be made into a permanent magnet.
磁体有两个磁极：北极（N）和南极（S）。同极相斥，异极相吸。只有少数材料，如铁、镍、钴，是铁磁性的，可以被强烈磁化。钢是一种合金，可以制成永磁体。
Magnetic materials can be soft or hard. Soft magnetic materials, like pure iron, are easily magnetised but lose their magnetism quickly. Hard magnetic materials, like steel, are harder to magnetise but retain their magnetism well.
磁性材料分为软磁和硬磁。软磁材料（如纯铁）容易磁化但磁性消退快。硬磁材料（如钢）难以磁化但能很好地保持磁性。
2. Magnetic Fields and Field Lines | 磁场与磁感线
A magnetic field is a region where a magnetic force can be detected. Field lines show the direction of the field: they go from north to south outside a magnet. The spacing of the lines indicates the field strength – closer lines mean a stronger field.
磁场是能够检测到磁力的区域。磁感线显示磁场方向：在磁体外，从北极指向南极。磁感线的疏密表示磁场强弱——线越密，磁场越强。
You can map a magnetic field by placing a plotting compass around a magnet and marking the needle’s direction. Iron filings sprinkled on a card above a magnet also align along the field lines.
你可以通过在磁体周围放置小磁针并标记指针方向来描绘磁场。将铁屑撒在磁体上方的卡片上，铁屑也会沿磁感线排列。
3. Induced Magnetism and Magnetisation | 磁化与感应磁性
When a piece of unmagnetised iron is placed near a strong magnet, it becomes an induced magnet. The end nearest the magnet’s north pole becomes a south pole, and vice versa. This is because the magnet causes the domains to align temporarily.
当未磁化的铁块靠近强磁体时，它会变成感应磁体。最靠近磁体北极的一端成为南极，反之亦然。这是因为磁体使磁畴暂时排列对齐。
A steel bar can be permanently magnetised by stroking it many times in one direction with a strong magnet, or by placing it inside a solenoid and passing a direct current. Heating or hammering can demagnetise a magnet by disrupting the alignment of domains.
钢条可以通过用强磁体沿一个方向反复摩擦，或将其放在螺线管内通以直流电来永久磁化。加热或锤击会打乱磁畴排列，从而使磁体退磁。
4. Earth’s Magnetic Field | 地磁场
The Earth behaves like a giant bar magnet with its south magnetic pole near the geographic North Pole. A compass needle aligns with the Earth’s field, pointing towards the magnetic north (which is actually the south pole of the Earth’s magnet).
地球就像一个巨大的条形磁体，其南磁极靠近地理北极。指南针的指针沿地球磁场排列，指向磁北极（实际上是地球磁体的南极）。
The Earth’s magnetic field protects the planet from solar wind and charged particles. The angle between the horizontal and the magnetic field direction is called the angle of dip, which varies with location.
地球磁场保护行星免受太阳风和带电粒子的影响。水平面与磁场方向之间的夹角称为磁倾角，随地点变化。
5. Current and Magnetic Field: The Right-Hand Grip Rule | 电流与磁场：右手螺旋定则
When an electric current flows through a straight wire, it produces a circular magnetic field around the wire. The direction can be found using the right-hand grip rule: grip the wire with your right hand, thumb pointing in the current direction; the curled fingers show the magnetic field direction.
当电流流过直导线时，会在导线周围产生圆形磁场。方向可用右手螺旋定则判断：右手握住导线，拇指指向电流方向，弯曲的四指指示磁场方向。
If the wire is wound into a coil (solenoid), the magnetic field inside becomes strong and uniform, resembling that of a bar magnet. The direction of the field inside can be determined by the right-hand grip rule: grip the solenoid with your right hand, fingers following the current in the coils, and the thumb points to the north pole.
如果将导线绕成线圈（螺线管），内部的磁场强而均匀，类似于条形磁铁。内部磁场方向可用右手螺旋定则判断：右手握住螺线管，四指沿电流方向弯曲，拇指所指为北极。
6. Electromagnets: Construction and Factors | 电磁铁：结构与影响因素
An electromagnet consists of a solenoid with a soft iron core. The soft iron core greatly increases the magnetic field strength because it becomes magnetised when the current flows. Factors affecting strength: current, number of turns, and the presence of the core.
电磁铁由绕有线圈的软铁芯组成。软铁芯大大增强了磁场强度，因为电流通过时它被磁化。影响强度的因素：电流大小、线圈匝数和铁芯的存在。
Electromagnets are used in electric bells, relays, circuit breakers, and lifting scrap metal. Their advantage is that the magnetism can be switched on and off by controlling the current, making them versatile for many applications.
电磁铁用于电铃、继电器、断路器和吊运废金属。其优点是可以通过控制电流来开关磁性，因而用途广泛。
7. Force on a Current-Carrying Wire in a Magnetic Field | 磁场对电流的作用力
A current-carrying wire placed in a magnetic field experiences a force. The force is maximum when the wire is perpendicular to the field, and zero when parallel. The size of the force F = B I L, where B is magnetic flux density, I is current, and L is the length of wire in the field.
通电导线放在磁场中会受到力的作用。当导线与磁场垂直时力最大，平行时力为零。力的大小 F = B I L，其中 B 是磁通量密度，I 是电流，L 是导线在磁场中的长度。
This phenomenon is the basis of the motor effect. The direction of the force is given by Fleming’s left-hand rule. Understanding this relationship allows engineers to design electric motors and other devices.
这一现象是电动机效应的基础。力的方向由弗莱明左手定则给出。理解这一关系使工程师能够设计电动机和其他装置。
8. Fleming’s Left-Hand Rule | 弗莱明左手定则
Fleming’s left-hand rule gives the direction of the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field. Hold your left hand with the thumb, forefinger, and second finger mutually at right angles: the Forefinger represents magnetic Field direction (N to S), the seCond finger represents Current direction (+ to -), and the ThuMb represents Motion or force direction.
弗莱明左手定则用来判断磁场中通电导体所受力的方向。伸展左手，让拇指、食指和中指互成直角：食指表示磁场方向（N到S），中指表示电流方向（+到-），拇指表示运动或力的方向。
9. The DC Motor | 直流电动机
A simple DC motor consists of a coil placed in a magnetic field, mounted on an axle with a split-ring commutator. When current flows, the coil experiences forces on opposite sides, creating a turning effect. The commutator reverses the current every half turn, ensuring continuous rotation in one direction.
简单直流电动机由放置在磁场中的线圈组成，线圈安装在带有换向器的轴上。当电流通过时，线圈两侧受力，产生转动效果。换向器每半圈反转电流方向，确保线圈持续向一个方向转动。
To increase the motor’s speed, you can use a stronger magnet, increase the current, add more turns to the coil, or increase the area of the coil. A higher torque results in faster rotation.
要提高电动机转速，可以使用更强的磁铁、增大电流、增加线圈匝数或增大线圈面积。更大的转矩会带来更快的旋转。
10. Electromagnetic Induction | 电磁感应
When a conductor moves across a magnetic field, or when a magnetic field changes through a coil, an electromotive force (emf) is induced across the conductor. This is called electromagnetic induction. The induced emf causes a current if the circuit is complete.
当导体切割磁感线运动，或穿过线圈的磁场发生变化时，会在导体中产生感应电动势。这称为电磁感应。如果电路闭合，感应电动势会引起感应电流。
Increasing the speed of the relative motion, using a stronger magnet, or increasing the number of coil turns all increase the induced emf. This is the principle behind generators and many sensors.
增大相对运动速度、使用更强的磁体或增加线圈匝数都会增大感应电动势。这是发电机和许多传感器背后的原理。
11. Lenz’s Law and Generators | 楞次定律与发电机
Lenz’s law states that the direction of an induced current is such that it opposes the change that produced it. This law explains why induced currents create a force that resists the motion causing them, requiring work to be done to generate electricity.
楞次定律指出，感应电流的方向总是阻碍引起感应电流的磁通量变化。这解释了为何感应电流会产生一个阻碍运动的力，需要做功才能发电。
A simple generator consists of a coil rotating in a magnetic field, producing an alternating current. As the coil rotates, the induced emf changes direction every half turn, resulting in alternating current (AC).
简单发电机由在磁场中旋转的线圈组成，产生交流电。线圈每转半圈，感应电动势
