    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)
