Magnetism Magnetic Attraction-Repulsion Since ancient times, certain materials, called magnets, have been known to have the property of attracting tiny pieces of metal. This attractive property is called magnetism. The strength of a magnet is concentrated at the ends, called north and south “poles” of the magnet. A suspended magnet: N-seeking end and S-seeking end are N and S poles. Magnetic Attraction-Repulsion Magnetic Forces: Like Poles Repel Unlike Poles Attract Noura Al-moneef

Magnetic Field Lines We can describe magnetic field lines by imagining a tiny compass placed at nearby points. The direction of the magnetic field B at any point is the same as the direction indicated by this compass. Field B is strong where lines are dense and weak where lines are sparse. Noura Al-moneef

Properties of Magnetic Field Lines Magnetic lines of force never intersect. By convention, magnetic lines of force point from north to south outside a magnet (and from south to north inside a magnet). Field lines converge where the magnetic force is strong, and spread out where it is weak. (Number of lines per unit area is proportional to the magnetic field strength.) Noura Al-moneef

Force Due to Magnetic Field The force exerted on a charged particle by a magnetic field is given by the vector cross product: F = q v  B F = force (vector) q = charge on the particle (scalar) v = velocity of the particle relative to field (vector) B = magnetic field (vector) V q B Recall that the magnitude of a cross is the product of the magnitudes of the vectors times the sine of the angle between them. So, the magnitude of the magnetic force is given by F = q v B sin where  is angle between q v and B vectors. Noura Al-moneef

Force on a moving charge in a magnetic field The force on a moving charge is proportional to the component of the magnetic field perpendicular to the direction of the velocity of the charge and is in a direction perpendicular to both the velocity and the field. The force is greatest when the velocity v is perpendicular to the B field. The deflection decreases to zero for parallel motion. Noura Al-moneef

Force is perpendicular to B,v The magnetic force on a charge depends on the magnitude of the charge, its velocity, and the magnetic field. F = q v B sin(θ) Direction from RHR Note if v is parallel to B then F=0 V q B . If a charge moves parallel to a magnetic field, there is no magnetic force on it, since sin 0° = 0. F = q v B sin 1 N = 1 C (m / s) (T) From the formula for magnetic force we can find a relationship between the tesla and other SI units. The sin of an angle has no units, so 1 N 1 N = 1 T = C (m / s) A m A magnetic field of one tesla is very powerful magnetic field. Sometimes it may be convenient to use the gauss, which is equal to 10 -4 tesla. Force is perpendicular to B,v B does no work! (W=F d cos q ) Speed is constant (W=D K.E. ) Noura Al-moneef

Magnetic Field B: A magnetic field intensity of one tesla (T) exists in a region of space where a charge of one coulomb (C) moving at 1 m/s perpendicular to the B-field will experience a force of one newton (N). Each of the following results in a greater magnetic force F: an increase in velocity v, an increase in charge q, and a larger magnetic field B. Noura Al-moneef

Magnetic forces on moving charges When a charge moves through a B-field, it feels a force. It has to be moving It has to be moving across the B-field Direction of force is determined by another right-hand rule Noura Al-moneef

F = q v  B  F = q v B since sin 90° = 1. This magnet is similar to a parallel plate capacitor in that there is a strong uniform field between its poles with some fringing on the sides. Suppose the magnetic field strength inside is 0.07 T and a 4.3 mC charge is moving through the field at right angle to the field lines. How strong and which way is the magnetic force on the F = q v  B  F = q v B since sin 90° = 1. So, F = 0.0015 N directed out of the page. Noura Al-moneef

Note: although the force looks small, consider the acceleration: a = F/m = 2.4 x 10-16 Nt / 1.67 x 10-27 kg = 1.44 x 1011 m/s2. Noura Al-moneef

A section of wire carrying current to the right is shown in a uniform magnetic field. We can imagine positive charges moving to right, each feeling a magnetic force out of the page. This will cause the wire to bow outwards. Shown on the right is the view as seen when looking at the N pole from above. The dots represent a uniform mag. field coming out of the page. The mag. force on the wire is proportional to the field strength, the current, and the length of the wire. B Noura Al-moneef

Motion of a Charge in a Magnetic Field The ’s represent field lines pointing into the page. A positively charged particle of mass m and charge q is shot to the right with speed v. By the right hand rule the magnetic force on it is up. Since v is  to B, F = FB = q v B. Because F is  to v, it has no tangential component; it is entirely centripetal. Thus F causes a centripetal acceleration. As the particle turns so do v and F, and if B is uniform the particle moves in a circle. This is the basic idea behind a particle accelerator like Fermilab. Since F is a centripetal force, F = FC = m v2 / R. Let’s see how speed, mass, charge, field strength, and radius of curvature are related: FB = FC  q v B = m v2 / R m v  R = q B Uniform B into page Since v is at right angles to B, θ = 90° and sinθ = 1. Noura Al-moneef

Heavier masses will give bigger radii, but we can shrink the radii if they become too big by using bigger magnetic fields. If the motion is exactly at right angles to a uniform field, the path is turned into a circle. In general, with the motion inclined to the field, the path is helix round the lines of force. Noura Al-moneef

Noura Al-moneef

Circulating Charged Particles The key feature of the magnetic force on a charged particle is that it is perpendicular to the particle's velocity. Assume that a uniform field can be produced in the laboratory and that we can shoot charged particles through it. What will the trajectory be of such a particle? Consider the following diagram. We let a positive charged particle have a velocity along the x-axis, and apply a uniform magnetic field along the y-axis: The magnetic force will be along the +z axis, as shown below: Noura Al-moneef

First note that the magnetic force does no work on the particle First note that the magnetic force does no work on the particle. The rate at which work is performed is given by the power: But v and F are perpendicular - F is the cross product of v and B, and is thus perpendicular to both of these. The dot product of two perpendicular vectors is zero. Zero power means that no work is performed by this force. Since no work is performed, the kinetic energy and speed of the particle must be constant. You should recall that this is very different from the result of applying an electric field to a charged particle. Noura Al-moneef

Circulating Charged Particles We therefore find that the force 1) is perpendicular to the velocity, and 2) does not change the kinetic energy. What kind of motion will result? Even though the speed is constant, the direction of the velocity certainly changes - the force and therefore the acceleration (F = ma) are not zero. When the magnetic field is perpendicular to the velocity, the motion will clearly be circular since the force will always be oriented 'inward' perpendicular to the velocity - it is a centripetal force which leads to a centripetal acceleration. The trajectory, for a positive charge, is shown below: It is a circle, when viewed from 'above' (from the +y axis) and the motion will be clockwise. If the particle were negatively charged, then the force would be in the opposite direction. That is, when the velocity is along the +x-axis and the field along the +y-axis, the force is along the -z-axis. In this case, the motion will be counter-clockwise when viewed from above: Noura Al-moneef

What happens if the velocity is not perpendicular to the field What happens if the velocity is not perpendicular to the field? In this case, we can resolve the velocity into two components, one parallel to the field and one perpendicular. The magnetic force is associate only with the perpendicular component, and since cross products are distributive, we write the cross-products as: The force will be perpendicular to the field and to the component of the velocity that is perpendicular to the field. This perpendicular component of velocity varies in the same way as the previous example of circular motion. There will be no force along the magnetic field, so the motion in that direction is simply a constant velocity given by the parallel component of velocity to the field - this component is unaffected by the magnetic field. In this case, the motion will be helical: B Noura Al-moneef

From this we can evaluate the radius of the orbit: We know the magnitude of the magnetic force is qvB, where v is the component of velocity perpendicular to the field. So for simplicity, let us assume there is no velocity parallel to the field, so this velocity is really the particle's speed. Because the magnetic force is always directed toward the center of the orbit, we can set the acceleration equal to the centripetal acceleration for circular motion, v^2/r. We thus have that From this we can evaluate the radius of the orbit: The period T (the time for one full revolution) is equal to the circumference divided by the speed The frequency (the number of revolutions per unit time) is It should be noted that, the quantities T and f do not depend on the speed of the particle, however faster particles move in larger circles. All particles with the same q/m ratio take the same time T to complete one trip. Noura Al-moneef

Magnetic Force on a current carrying wire We have already talked about how a magnetic field exerts a sidewise force on moving electrons in a conductor (Hall effect). This force is transmitted to the conductor itself, because the conduction electrons can not escape sideways out of the conductor. These figures are from your book which clearly illustrates the direction of forces exerted on a wire with current in the presence of a B-field . In this case the B-field is directed out of the screen and the conducting wire is flexible. To the right in Figure (a) the wire has no current so no forces are present. The figure below shows what happens in the wire when current is sent upward through the wire. As the electrons move downward with drift velocity vd they are deflected to right with a magnetic force FB =e vd B on each electron. So we expect the wire to deflect to the right as shown in right Figure labeled (b) Consider a length L of wire in the figure on the left. The conduction electrons in this section will drift past the plane x---x in the figure in a time t = L / vd . Therefore in that time, a charge will pass through this plane Noura Al-moneef

Magnetic Force on a current carrying wire q = i L/vd Recalling the magnetic force equation FB = qvB sin Substitute the drift velocity vd for v, the above equation for q and  = 90o , we have This relationship gives the force that acts on a segment of a straight wire of length L, carrying a current i and immersed in magnetic field B that is perpendicular to the wire. If the magnetic field is not perpendicular to the wire, we must consider general form of the above equation which is L is a length vector that has a magnitude L and is in the direction of the current i. Noura Al-moneef

Magnetic Force on a current carrying wire The magnitude of the force FB = i L x B can be written as FB = i L B sin  where  is the angle between the directions of L and B Since the current is taken to be a positive quantity, the direction of FB is that of the cross product L x B and FB is always perpendicular to the plane defined by the vectors L and B. Recall the force equation that defined the B-field in terms of the force acting a single moving charge. FB = q v x B This equation is almost equivalent to the force on a wire equation FB = i L x B and in practice this equation generally preferred as the equation defining the B-field since its far easier doing measurements with currents than single charges Noura Al-moneef

Magnetic Force on a current carrying wire If a wire is not straight, we can then consider breaking up the wire into small straight segments and apply the force equation FB = I L x B to each segment. The net force on the wire is the vector sum of the forces on each of the segments. Noura Al-moneef

Force on a Current-Carrying Wire In a wire carrying current the charge carriers are moving at the drift velocity vd (on average), what is the force on the wire? F = ILB Noura Al-moneef

Force on a Current-Carrying Wire In a wire carrying current the charge carriers are moving at the drift velocity vd (on average), and so in a magnetic field they each feel force F = qvdB In Ch 27 we computed vd = I/Aqn where I = current, n = charge carriers per unit volume. In the whole wire, the number of carrier is nAL, so for the situation shown the total force on the wire is F = (nAL)q(I/Aqn)B = ILB Noura Al-moneef

Example To see if this is really feasible, let’s try using realistic numbers to see what the radius for a proton should be: q = 1.6 x 10-19 Coul; B = .05 Teslas (500 G) m = 1.67 x 10-27 kg; Vacc = 500 volts gives: (1/2)mv2 = qV, or v = [2qV/m]1/2 = 3.1 x 105 m/s r = mv/qB = (1.67 x 10-27kg)*(3.1 x 105 m/s) / (1.6 x 10-19 Coul)*(0.05 T) = .065 m = 6.5 cm. Noura Al-moneef

A positive charge moves along a circular path under the influence of a magnetic field. The magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the circle, as in the Figure. If the velocity of the particle is reversed at some point along the path, the particle will not retrace its path. If the velocity of the particle is suddenly reversed, then from RHR-1 we see that the force on the particle reverses direction. The particle will travel on a different circle that intersects the point where the direction of the velocity changes. The direction of motion of the particle (clockwise or counterclockwise) will be the same as that in the original circle. This is suggested in the figure below. Noura Al-moneef
