Study Notes

Magnetic Field Intensity at Axial Point of a Bar Magnet

A magnetic dipole is characterized by a dipole moment, represented as ( \vec{M} = m \cdot 2\ell \hat{i} ).
The magnetic field intensity at point P due to the positive pole (+m) is expressed as ( B_1 = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{m}{(l-l)^2} \hat{i} ).
The magnetic field intensity at point P due to the negative pole (-m) is given by ( B_2 = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \frac{m}{(l+l)^2} \hat{i} ).
The net magnetic field intensity at point P is calculated as ( B_{net} = B_1 + B_2 ).
By simplifying the formula, the net magnetic field intensity can be expressed as ( B_{net} = \frac{2\mu_0}{\pi} \left[ \frac{M}{(l^2 - l^2)^2} \right] \hat{i} ).

Coulomb's Law in Magnetism

The force between two magnetic poles is proportional to the product of their strengths and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.
Formal expressions include:
- ( F \propto m_1 m_2 )
- ( F \propto \frac{1}{d^2} )
Combining these results gives the force formula:
- ( F = \frac{\mu_0}{4\pi} \cdot \frac{m_1 m_2}{d^2} )
The proportionality constant ( \mu_0 ) (permeability of free space) is approximately ( 10^{-7} , \text{Tm/A} ).

Magnetic Concepts

Magnetic Poles

Areas near the ends of a bar magnet where the magnetic force is most intense.

Magnetic Dipole

Formed by two equal and opposite magnetic poles in close proximity.

Magnetic Dipole Moment

Denotes the strength of a magnetic dipole, represented as ( \vec{M} ).
The formula for magnetic dipole moment is:
- ( M = m \cdot 2l )
Directionally, it extends from the South Pole to the North Pole.
