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.
