Study Notes
Introduction to Magnetism
- Magnetism is a phenomenon associated with magnetic fields.
- Magnets create magnetic fields by moving electric charges.
- Magnetism can attract or repel other magnets and change the motion of other charged particles.
- Magnetic fields have both direction and magnitude at any point.
Magnetic Field
- A magnetic field is a region around a magnetic material or moving electric charge within which the force of magnetism acts.
- Magnetic fields can be represented using magnetic field lines.
- The density of field lines indicates the strength of the field.
- Magnetic field lines start from the north pole and end at the south pole.
- The tangent to a magnetic field line gives the direction of the field.
Magnetic Flux
- Magnetic flux is the total magnetic field passing through a given surface area.
- Measured in Webers (Wb).
- Magnetic flux (Φ) = B ⋅ A ⋅ cos θ, where:
- B is the magnetic field
- A is the area
- θ is the angle between the magnetic field vector and the surface area vector.
- Magnetic flux is maximum when the magnetic field is perpendicular to the surface.
- Magnetic flux is zero when the magnetic field is parallel to the surface.
Properties of Magnetic Force on a Charged Particle
- The magnitude of the magnetic force (FB) is proportional to the charge (q), speed (v) of the particle, and the strength of the magnetic field (B).
- The force is zero when the particle's velocity is parallel to the magnetic field.
- The force is perpendicular to both the velocity vector (v) and the magnetic field vector (B).
- The direction of the force is opposite for positive and negative charges moving in the same direction.
Right-Hand Rules
- Right-hand rules are used to determine the direction of magnetic forces and fields.
Magnetic Field of a Straight Current-Carrying Conductor
- A long, straight conductor carrying a current generates a magnetic field in concentric circles around the conductor.
- The strength of the magnetic field (B) at a distance (d) from the conductor is given by B = μ0I / 2πd. (µ₀ = permeability of free space)
