Magnetic Fields

Magnetic Fields and Forces a single magnetic pole has never been isolated magnetic poles are always found in pairs Earth itself is a large permanent magnet

Magnetic Fields and Forces

We can represent the magnetic field ( ) by means of drawings with magnetic field lines We can define a magnetic field at some point in space in terms of the magnetic force that the field exerts on a charged particle moving with a velocity Magnetic poles exert attractive or repulsive forces on each other and that these forces vary as the inverse square of the distance between interacting poles

Magnetic Fields and Forces The magnitude F B of the magnetic force exerted on the particle is proportional to the charge q and to the speed v of the particle The magnitude and direction of depend on the velocity of the particle and on the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field (Tesla, T=N.s/(C.m), in SI unit) When a charged particle moves parallel to the magnetic field vector, the magnetic force acting on the particle is zero

Magnetic Fields and Forces

Example #13 An electron in a television picture tube moves toward the front of the tube with a speed of 8.0 x10 6 m/s along the x axis (see the figure). Surrounding the neck of the tube are coils of wire that create a magnetic field of magnitude T, directed at an angle of 60 0 to the x axis and lying in the xy plane. Calculate the magnetic force on the electron.

Magnetic Force Acting on a Current-Carrying Conductor The resultant force exerted by the field on the wire is the vector sum of the individual forces exerted on all the charged particles making up the current

Magnetic Force Acting on a Current-Carrying Conductor

n : the number of charges per unit volume

Magnetic Force Acting on a Current-Carrying Conductor

The magnetic force on a curved current- carrying wire in a uniform magnetic field is equal to that on a straight wire connecting the end points and carrying the same current

Magnetic Force Acting on a Current-Carrying Conductor The net magnetic force acting on any closed current loop in a uniform magnetic field is zero

The Magnetic Force Between Two Parallel Conductors Parallel conductors carrying currents in the same direction attract each other Parallel conductors carrying currents in opposite directions repel each other

Ampère’s Law

The line integral of around any closed path equals  0 I, where I is the total steady current passing through any surface bounded by the closed path

Faraday’s Law of Induction An electric current can be induced in a secondary circuit by a changing magnetic field An induced emf is produced in the secondary circuit by the changing magnetic field The emf induced in a circuit is directly proportional to the time rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit

Faraday’s Law of Induction a coil consisting of N loops all of the same area

Faraday’s Law of Induction

Lenz’s Law The induced current in a loop is in the direction that creates a magnetic field that opposes the change in magnetic flux through the area enclosed by the loop
