    Study Notes

    Magnetic Field Direction

    • The direction of the magnetic field can be determined based on the direction of the current.
    • Clockwise current flow results in an inward magnetic field, represented by 'X'.
    • Counterclockwise current flow results in an outward magnetic field, represented by '.'.

    Derivation of Velocity

    • The magnetic force acting on a charged particle is equal to the electric force acting on it.
    • The formula for magnetic force is: $F_B = qvB sin θ$, where θ = 90°.
    • The formula for electric force is: $F_E = qE$.
    • Equating these forces results in: $UB = E$, leading to the velocity equation: $u=E/B$.

    Mass Spectrometer

    • The same principle of equating magnetic and electric forces applies to mass spectrometers.
    • Centripetal force $F_c$ balances the magnetic force $F_B$.
    • The equation for centripetal force is: $mu^2/R$.
    • Equating this to the magnetic force results in: $R = mu/qB$, where R is the radius of the circular path.

    Electromagnetic Induction

    • Faraday's Law: A changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (emf) in a wire loop.
    • The induced emf opposes the change in magnetic flux, preventing a sudden change in magnetic field strength (Lenz's Law).
    • The emf induced is given by: $ε = -dΦ_B/dt$.
    • The negative sign indicates the opposition of the induced emf to the change in flux.

    Faraday's - Lenz's Law:

    • When the current in a circuit is constant, there is no change in flux, and the induced emf is zero.
    • When the current is increasing, the induced emf acts in the opposite direction to the current flow.
    • When the current is decreasing, the induced emf acts in the same direction as the current to maintain a steady current temporarily.

    Magnetic Flux

    • When a magnet is moved into a loop, the magnetic flux direction is clockwise, and the induced current is counterclockwise, increasing the magnetic flux.
    • When the magnet is pulled out of the loop, the magnetic flux direction is counterclockwise, and the induced current is clockwise, decreasing the magnetic flux.
