2. MHS Physics Department AP Unit III D1. Magnetic Fields Students should understand the force experienced by a charged particle in a magnetic field, so they can (a) Calculate the magnitude and direction of the force in terms of q, v, and B, and explain why the magnetic force can do no work. (b) Deduce the direction of a magnetic field from information about the force experienced by charged particles moving through that field. (c) Describe the paths of charged particles moving in uniform magnetic fields.

3. MHS Physics Department (d) Derive and apply the formula for the radius of the circular path of a charge that moves perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. (e) Describe under what conditions particles will move with constant velocity through crossed electric and magnetic fields.

4. MHS Physics Department Magnetic Fields Magnetic Field Strength B = magnetic flux  / area A B=  /A. B is measured in Teslas (T), magnetic flux  is measured in Webers (Wb), and Area is measured in m 2

5. MHS Physics Department The magnetic field around a bar magnet is spider shape The direction of the field lines is from North to South (the direction the north pole of a magnet would go in if placed in the field.) The magnetic field around a current carrying wire B =  0 I /2  a where  0 is the magnetic permeability of free space or vacuum permeability = 4  x 10 -7 (T · m) / A

8. MHS Physics Department Magnetic Force _ The Motor Effect The magnetic force on a wire is given by F=BILsin  The magnetic force on a charge is given by F = Bqv The direction of the force is given by the right hand rule for conventional current (positive charges) X means magnetic field going into the page  means magnetic field coming out of the page.

12. MHS Physics Department This effect is used in particle accelerators to determine the mass of an unknown particle. The charged particle is accelerated into a known magnetic field. The radius of path it describes tells us the mass since Bqv = mv 2 /r them m = Bqr/v. xxxxx r v B q If the particle is not charged it can be accelerated into a particle which is.
