Magnetism
2
Magnets ► A magnet has polarity - it has a north and a south pole; you cannot isolate the north or the south pole (there is no magnetic monopole) ► Like poles repel; unlike poles attract
3
Magnets ► A compass is a suspended magnet (its north pole is attracted to a magnetic south pole); the earth’s magnetic south pole is within 200 miles of the earth’s geographic north pole (that is why a compass points "north")
4
Magnets ► Some metals can be turned into temporary magnets by bringing them close to a magnet; magnetism is induced by aligning areas called domains within a magnetic field ► Domains strong coupling between neighboring atoms of ferromagnetic materials to form large groups of atoms whose net spins are aligned ► Unmagnetized substance domains randomly oriented
5
Magnets ► When an external magnetic field is applied the orientation of the magnetic fields of each domain may change to more closely align with the external magnetic field ► Domains already aligned with the external field may grow at the expense of others
6
Magnets ► Materials can be classified as magnetically hard or soft ► Soft – like iron - are easily magnetized, but lose magnetism easily once an external field is removed, the random motion of the particles in the material changes the orientation of the domains the material returns to an unmagnetized state
7
Magnets ► Hard – like cobalt and nickel – difficult to magnetize, but retain their magnetism domain alignment persists after an external field is removed the result is a permanent magnet
8
Magnets ► Permanent Magnets are formed of metallic alloys or metals such as iron, nickel, or cobalt are difficult to magnetize, but tend to retain their magnetism
9
Magnetic Fields ► The concept of a field is applied to magnetism as well as gravity and electricity. ► A magnetic field surrounds every magnet and is also produced by a charged particle in motion relative to some reference point.
10
Magnetic Fields ► The direction of a magnetic field, B, at any location is defined as the direction in which the north pole of a compass needle points at that location
11
Magnetic Fields ► To indicate direction on paper we use the following conventions: Arrows show direction in the plane of the page X Crosses represent the tail of an arrow and show direction into the page. Dots represent the tips of arrows and show direction out of the page
12
Magnetic Field of a Current Carrying Wire ► Around all current carrying conductors there exists a magnetic field ► The direction of this field can be determined using the right-hand rule. Grasp the wire in the right hand with your thumb in the direction of the current Your fingers will curl in the direction of the magnetic field
13
Magnetic Field of a Current Loop ► You can use the right-hand rule to determine the field around a current carrying loop ► Regardless of where you are on the loop the magnetic field inside of the loop is always the same direction
14
Magnetic Field of a Current Loop ► Solenoids – produce strong magnetic fields by combining several loops of wire together are important in many applications because they act as a magnet when it carries current magnetic field can be increased by inserting an iron rod through the center of the coil creating an electromagnet
15
Magnetic Force ► A charge moving through a magnetic field experiences a force F magnetic =qvB (sin θ) q –magnitude of charge, in Coulombs (C) v –velocity of charge, in m/s B –magnetic field strength, in Teslas (T)
16
Magnetic Force ► Use the right-hand rule to find the direction of the magnetic force ► Magnetic force is always perpendicular to both v and B ► Place your fingers in the direction of B with your thumb pointing in the direction of v ► The magnetic force on a positive charge is directed out of the palm of your hand ► If q is negative, find the direction as if q were positive and reverse the direction
17
Magnetic Force on a Current- Carrying Conductor ► Current electricity is charged particles in motion ► Since charged particles moving in a magnetic field experience a force, likewise a current-carrying wire placed in a magnetic field also experiences a force
18
Magnetic Force on a Current- Carrying Conductor ► F magnetic = BI l ► B Magnetic field strength in Teslas (T) ► I Current ► l length of conductor within B ► Can only be used when the current and magnetic field are at right angles to each other (adjust by multiplying by sin θ)
19
Magnetic Force on a Current- Carrying Conductor ► To find the direction of the magnetic force on a wire we again use the right-hand rule ► You place your thumb in the direction of the current (I) in the wire rather than the velocity (v) ► Your fingers as before are in the direction of the magnetic field B ► The magnetic force comes out of your palm
20
Magnetic Force on a Current- Carrying Conductor ► Current-carrying wires placed close together exert magnetic forces on each other when current runs in the same direction the wires attract one another when current runs in opposite directions the wires repel one another
21
Magnetic Force on a Current- Carrying Conductor ► Loudspeakers use magnetic force to produce sound ► Most speakers consist of a permanent magnet, a coil of wire and a flexible cone ► A sound signal is converted to a varying electrical signal and is sent to the coil ► The current causes a magnetic force to act on the coil
22
Magnetic Force on a Current- Carrying Conductor ► When the current reverses direction, the magnetic force on the coil reverses direction, and the cone accelerates in the opposite direction ► Alternating force on the coil results in vibrations of the attached cone, which produces variations in the density of air in front of it, or sound waves
23
Galvanometers ► Are devices used in the construction of ammeters and voltmeters ► Consist of a coil of wire wrapped around a soft iron core mounted so it is free to pivot in the magnetic field provided by the permanent magnet ► A torque acts on the loop in the presence of a magnetic field ► The torque on the loop is proportional to the current
