Study Notes

Magnetism

Magnets attract iron, and can attract or repel other magnets.
Magnets have two poles: north and south.
Like poles repel and unlike poles attract.
Magnetic poles cannot be separated.
Ferromagnetic materials (iron, cobalt, nickel, gadolinium) exhibit strong magnetic effects and can be magnetized.
Domains in ferromagnetic materials act like small bar magnets.
Ferromagnetic materials can be demagnetized by hard blows or heating.
Each ferromagnetic material has a Curie temperature above which it cannot be magnetized.

Electromagnetism

Electric currents cause magnetic effects.
Electromagnets are temporary magnets created by electric currents.
Electromagnets and ferromagnets share similar characteristics.
Combining ferromagnets and electromagnets creates strong magnetic effects.
Superconducting magnets are limited by their sensitivity to magnetic fields.
Ferromagnetic materials can store information.

Current: The Source of Magnetism

All magnetism is created by electric currents.
Current loops always produce a magnetic dipole.
Magnetic monopoles (isolated north or south poles) have not been observed.
The Hall Effect can measure fluid flow.

Magnetic Force on a Current-Carrying Conductor

Charges moving in a conductor experience a magnetic force transmitted to the conductor.
Magnetic force on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field is calculated using: F = IlB sin θ
The direction of the force is determined by the right-hand rule 1.
Magnetic force on conductors is used to convert electric energy to work.
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) uses magnetic forces to pump fluids without mechanical parts.

Torque on a Current Loop: Motors and Meters

Motors are a common application of magnetic force.
Motors use loops of wire in a magnetic field.
Electric current passing through the loops produces torque causing rotation.
Torque is defined as 𝜏 = 𝑟𝐹𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃.
The torque on a current-carrying loop in a uniform magnetic field can be calculated as: 𝜏 = 𝑁𝐼𝐴𝐵 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃

Magnetic Fields Produced by Currents: Ampere’s Law

Each segment of current produces a magnetic field.
The magnetic field of any shape current is the vector sum of the fields due to each segment.
Right-hand rule 2 determines the direction of magnetic field loops created by a current segment.
The magnetic field strength of a long straight current-carrying wire is: 𝐵= 𝜇0 𝐼 / 2𝜋𝑟

Ampere’s Law and Others

Each segment of current produces a magnetic field like that of a long straight wire.
The force between two parallel conductors is: 𝐹/𝑙 = 𝜇0 𝐼1 𝐼2 / 2𝜋𝑟

Applications of Magnetism

Mass Spectrometry: Uses curved paths of charged particles in magnetic fields to measure mass.
Mass Spectrometry Applications:
- Chemical and biological substance identification
- Measurement of isotopic concentrations
- Analysis of large molecules (e.g., proteins, viruses)
Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs): Use magnetic fields to steer accelerated electrons.
- Found in non-flat-screen TVs, old computer monitors, x-ray machines.
