    Study Notes

    Magnetism

    • Magnetism is a long-range force that can be attractive or repulsive.
    • Magnets always have two poles: North and South.
    • When a magnet is split, two smaller magnets remain.
    • The force between magnets is not the same as the electric force.
    • Magnetic forces do not affect stationary charged objects.
    • Magnets are not electrically charged.
    • Magnetic monopoles are hypothetical particles that have only a single magnetic pole (North or South), but no experimental evidence has been found.

    Magnetic Dipole Moment

    • The concept of a magnetic dipole moment (m) applies to bar magnets, solenoids, and loops.
    • Torque on a dipole is given by: "τ = m × B"
    • The torque on a dipole aligns the magnetic dipole moment with the magnetic field.
    • The maximum torque is achieved when the angle between the magnetic dipole moment and the magnetic field is 90 degrees (sin θ = 1).

    The Electric Motor

    • Uses magnetic torque to produce continuous rotation.
    • The torque on a coil reverses direction as the coil rotates past the equilibrium position (θ = 0).
    • To ensure continuous rotation, brushes automatically reverse the current as the coil passes through θ = 0.

    Charged Particle In a Magnetic Field

    • The magnetic force is always perpendicular to the velocity of a charged particle moving in a magnetic field.
    • This force causes a charged particle to move in a circular path whose radius depends on the particle's velocity, charge, and the magnetic field strength.

    Motion of a Charged Particle in a Magnetic Field

    • Charged particles in a magnetic field experience a force that causes them to follow a helical path.
    • The particle moves in a circular path perpendicular to the magnetic field and with a constant velocity parallel to the magnetic field.
    • The radius of the circular path is given by: "r = mv⊥ / qB"

    Mass Spectrometer

    • Uses magnetic fields to separate particles with different masses and charges.
    • The motion of a charged particle in a magnetic field is determined by its charge (q), mass (m), and velocity (v).
