Types of Magnetic Fields

In this lesson on Types of Magnetic Fields, which is part of Unit 3 Area of Study 1 for VCE Physics, you’ll learn how to:

  • investigate and apply theoretically and practically a vector field model to magnetic phenomena, including shapes and directions of fields produced by bar magnets, and by current-carrying wires, loops and solenoids
  • identify fields as static or changing, and as uniform or non-uniform.

Using Lines to Model Properties of Magnets, Current-Carrying Wires and Solenoids

The following video covers how you can use these lines to model the magnetic field around a solenoid and wire.

The Magnetic Field Produced by Wires and Solenoids

The following two videos explain how these are created by wires and solenoids.

Part 1: Created by a current-carrying wire

Part 2: Through solenoids
