Study Notes
Magnetic Field Due to an Infinite Solenoid
- A solenoid is a type of electromagnet
- Composed of a helical coil of wire
- Number of loops per unit length denoted by "n"
- Magnetic field strength (B) is calculated using the formula: B = μ₀nI
Magnetic Field at One End of a Solenoid
- For a finite solenoid, the magnetic field at one end is given by: B = (μ₀nI) / 2
- This simplifies to: B = μ₀nI/2 for a semi-infinite solenoid
Magnetic Field Due to a Toroid
- The magnetic field (B) for a toroid is given by the equation: B = (μ₀nI) / 2πr
- Where:
- n is the turns density
- I is the current
- r is the radius
- Where:
Force on a Charge Particle in an External Magnetic Field
- The force (F) on a charged particle (q) moving with velocity (v) in a magnetic field (B) is given by:
F = qvBsinθ
- Where θ is the angle between the velocity vector and the magnetic field vector
