Study Notes
Electromagnetic Induction
- Hans Christian Oersted, in 1819, observed a magnetic needle deflecting near a current-carrying wire. This initiated studies on the magnetic field produced by electric currents.
- Electromagnetism is the study of magnetic properties of moving charges.
- Magnetism is the study of the properties of magnets.
- A magnetic field is the space or region around a magnet in which its effect can be observed.
Magnetic Field of a Straight Current Carrying Wire
- Experiments showed that a current-carrying wire creates concentric circles of magnetic field lines around it.
- The direction of the magnetic field lines is tangent to the circles.
- Reversing the current reverses the direction of the magnetic field lines.
Force on a Current Carrying Conductor in a Uniform Magnetic Field
- A current-carrying wire placed in an external magnetic field experiences a magnetic force.
- The force is maximum when the wire is perpendicular to the field.
- The force is proportional to the current, length of the conductor, and the sine of the angle between the wire and the field.
Magnitude of Force
- The force is directly proportional to the orientation of the conductor.
- The force is directly proportional to the magnitude of current.
- The force is directly proportional to the length of the conductor.
- The force is directly proportional to the strength of the applied magnetic field.
Magnetic Flux
- The dot product of magnetic induction and vector area is magnetic flux.
- Magnetic flux is denoted by Ф.
- The unit of magnetic flux is Weber (Wb), where 1 Wb = 1 N⋅m/A.
- Maximum flux occurs when the surface is perpendicular to the magnetic field.
Ampere's Law
- The sum of the quantities for all path elements equals to the total enclosed current times the permeability of free space.
- Ampere's law is a way to find magnetic induction around a current carrying assembly.
- Magnetic induction around a current carrying solenoid is B = μ₀nI
Velocity Selector
- An arrangement of crossed electric and magnetic fields used to select charges with a specific velocity.
- Magnetic force balances the electrical force on a charged particle to allow the passage of only the particles.
Torque on a Current Carrying Coil
- A current carrying loop, placed in a magnetic field, experiences a torque.
- The torque is maximum when the plane of the loop is perpendicular to the magnetic field.
- The torque is proportional to the product of magnetic flux density, current, area, and number of turns.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
- MRI uses a combination of strong magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the body.
- Protons in the body interact with the magnetic field, generating electrical pulses that are processed to produce an image.
Galvanometer
- An instrument to detect the passage of an electric current.
- A current carrying loop placed in a magnetic field experiences a torque.
- Galvanometer consists of a U-shaped magnet, a rectangular coil containing numerous turns, a soft iron core wrapped around the coil increasing magnetic field strength and preventing damage.
- Two methods are common: Lamp scale method and Pivoted coil galvanometer
- Galvanometers are sensitive instruments.
- They can be converted into ammeters by incorporating a shunt; or voltmeters by incorporating a high resistance.
Ammeter
- A device to measure electric current in a circuit
- An ammeter is connected in series and has extremely low internal resistance.
- It is a modified form of a galvanometer to measure large currents.
Voltmeter
- A device to measure potential difference between two points in a circuit.
- A voltmeter is connected in parallel and has extremely high internal resistance.
- It is made by adding a high resistance in series with a galvanometer.
Digital Multimeter
- A modern multi-purpose instrument for measuring current, voltage, and resistance;
- Often digitally displays measurements to mitigate errors.
