Study Notes
Magnetic Effects of Electric Current
- Oersted's Experiment: Hans Christian Oersted discovered that a compass needle gets deflected when an electric current passes through a nearby metallic wire. This showed a link between electricity and magnetism.
Magnetic Field
- Definition: The region around a magnet in which its force can be detected.
- Characteristics: It has both magnitude and direction.
- Field Lines: The path followed by the north pole of a small compass when placed in the magnetic field. They are closed loops, never intersect, and are closer together where the field is stronger.
Properties of Magnetic Field Lines
- Direction: From north to south outside the magnet, and vice versa inside the magnet.
- Closed and Curved: Magnetic field lines are always closed loops and curved.
- Never Intersect: Field lines never cross each other.
- Strength Indication: The closeness of field lines indicates the strength of the magnetic field. Closer lines indicate a stronger field.
Magnetic Field Due to a Current-Carrying Conductor
- Circular Pattern: Magnetic field lines around a current-carrying conductor are concentric circles.
- Current and Field: Increasing current increases the strength of the magnetic field.
- Distance and Field: The strength of the field decreases as the distance from the wire increases.
- Right-Hand Thumb Rule: If you grip the conductor with your right hand so that your thumb points in the direction of current, then your curved fingers will show the direction of the magnetic field.
Magnetic Field Due to Current through a Circular Loop
- Concentric Circles: Magnetic field lines around a circular loop are concentric circles centered at the loop.
- The Right-Hand Rule: Use the right-hand rule to determine the direction of the magnetic field, similar to the straight conductor.
Magnetic Field Due to Current-Carrying Solenoid
- Definition: A solenoid is a closely wound coil of wire shaped like a cylinder.
- Similar to a Bar Magnet: When current flows through a solenoid, it behaves like a bar magnet with a north and south pole.
- Field Inside and Outside: The magnetic field inside the solenoid is strong and uniform, while the field outside is weak and non-uniform, especially at the ends.
- Strength Variation: Magnetic field strength inside the solenoid is approximately constant along the axis of the solenoid, whereas the strength weakens as one moves away from the middle towards the ends, and the field lines spread out.
Force on a Current-Carrying Conductor in a Magnetic Field
- Force Direction: The force on the conductor depends on the directions of both the current and the magnetic field.
- Fleming's Left-Hand Rule: To determine the direction of the force, use Fleming's left-hand rule:
- Finger Arrangement: Position your fingers so that your forefinger points along the magnetic field, your middle finger points in the current direction, and your thumb indicates the direction of force.
- Maximum Force: Maximum force occurs when the conductor is perpendicular to the magnetic field.
Electric Motor
- Conversion of Energy: Electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy.
- Principle: A current-carrying coil in a magnetic field experiences a force, making the coil rotate continuously. This rotational motion is what generates the mechanical energy.
- Construction: Comprises armature, commutator, and permanent magnet.
Galvanometer
- Function: Used to detect the presence of current in a circuit.
- Deflection: Deflects either to the left or right of the zero mark, depending on the current's direction.
Electromagnetic Induction
- Induced Current: When a conductor is placed in a changing magnetic field, a current is induced in the conductor.
- Discovery: Discovered by Michael Faraday.
