Study Notes

Magnetism

All magnets have two poles: a north magnetic pole and a south magnetic pole.
Like poles repel and unlike poles attract.
It is impossible to separate north and south poles in magnets.
Ferromagnetic materials strongly respond to magnets and can be magnetized.
Ferromagnetic materials include iron, cobalt, nickel, gadolinium, and alloys of rare earth elements like neodymium.
When a magnet is brought near an unmagnetized ferromagnetic material, it causes local magnetization with unlike poles closest.
Domains within the material act like small bar magnets.
Domains are small and randomly oriented in an unmagnetized object.
Permanent magnets can be demagnetized by hard blows or heating in the absence of another magnet.
A ferromagnetic material loses its magnetic properties above the Curie temperature.
Curie temperature for iron is 1043 K (770°C).

Electromagnets

Electrical currents cause magnetic effects.
Magnetic monopoles (isolated north or south magnetic poles) are not observed.

Magnetic Fields and Magnetic Field Lines

Magnetic fields represent magnetic forces.
The direction of magnetic field lines is defined as the direction in which the north end of a compass needle points.
Magnetic field is often called the B-field.
Magnetic field line properties:
- The direction of the magnetic field is tangent to the field line at any point.
- Field strength is proportional to the closeness of the lines.
- Magnetic field lines never cross.
- Magnetic field lines are continuous, forming closed loops without beginning or end. They go from the north pole to the south pole.

Magnetic Field Strength

Magnetic fields exert forces on moving charges.
The magnitude of the magnetic force (F) on a charge moving at a speed (v) in a magnetic field of strength (B) is given by: F = qvB sin θ , where θ is the angle between the directions of v and B.
This force is also known as the Lorentz force.
The SI unit for magnetic field strength is the tesla (T).
1T = 1 N/(C.m/s) = 1 N/(A.m)
Another unit is the gauss (G), where 1G = 10-4 T.
The strongest permanent magnets have fields near 2T, superconducting electromagnets may attain 10 T or more.
The Earth’s magnetic field on its surface is about 5 x 10-5 T or 0.5G.

Right Hand Rule 1

To determine the direction of the magnetic force on a positive moving charge, point the thumb of the right hand in the direction of v, the fingers in the direction of B, and a perpendicular to the palm points in the direction of F.
The force on a negative charge is in the opposite direction to that on a positive charge.

Force on a Moving Charge in a Magnetic Field

Magnetic force can cause a charged particle to move in a circular or spiral path.
Cosmic rays are energetic charged particles in space that can be forced into spiral paths by the Earth's magnetic field.
Protons in giant accelerators are kept in a circular path by magnetic force.
Magnetic force is always perpendicular to velocity, so it does no work on the charged particle, and the particle's kinetic energy and speed remain constant.

Hall Effect

The Hall effect occurs when a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the flow of charge in a conductor, resulting in a voltage difference across the conductor (Hall voltage).
The Hall effect can be used to measure the speed of fluids.

Magnetic Force on a Current-Carrying Conductor

The magnetic force on charges moving in a conductor is transmitted to the conductor itself.
The force on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field is: F = IlB sin θ, where I is the current, l is the length of the wire, B is the magnetic field strength, and θ is the angle between the wire and the magnetic field.
Magnetic force on current-carrying conductors can convert electric energy to work.
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) is a technique that uses magnetic force to pump fluids without moving mechanical parts.

Torque on a Current Loop: Motors and Meters

Motors use magnetic force on current-carrying wires to rotate a shaft.
Motors have loops of wire in a magnetic field.
When current passes through the loops, the magnetic field exerts torque on the loops.
Torque is defined as 𝜏 = 𝑟𝐹𝑠𝑖𝑛𝜃, where r is the distance from the pivot the force is applied, and θ is the angle between r and F.
Cathode ray tubes (CRTs) use magnetic coils to steer electron beams, for example, in TVs and computer monitors.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

MRI is a medical imaging tool based on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).
NMR involves the interaction of an externally applied magnetic field with nuclei of atoms, particularly hydrogen (protons).
Each nucleus has a small magnetic field.
When placed in an external magnetic field, these nuclei experience a torque that aligns them into one of two energy states, depending on their spin.
Radio frequency signals can be used to "flip" the orientation of these small magnets, causing transitions between energy states.
The specific frequency of radio waves absorbed and reemitted depends on the type of nucleus, chemical environment, and external magnetic field strength.
MRI units use superconducting magnets to create a magnetic field, typically between 1 and 2T.
MRI images provide detailed information about structures and organ functions.
