Study Notes
Magnetism Overview
- Magnetism involves forces produced by magnets that attract or repel objects.
- Magnetic fields are vector fields influencing moving electric charges, currents, and magnetic materials.
- Magnetic materials, like iron and nickel, align with magnetic field lines, which run from North to South.
- The density of magnetic field lines indicates the strength of the magnetic field.
- Magnetic fields are symbolized by 𝑩 and measured in Teslas (𝑻).
Magnetic Interaction
- Attraction occurs when magnetic flux lines point in the same direction; repulsion occurs when they are opposite.
- A moving electric charge in a wire generates a magnetic field that wraps around perpendicularly to the current's direction.
- The right-hand rule helps determine the direction of the magnetic flux lines.
Magnetic Field Strength Calculation
- Magnetic Field Strength (B) is calculated using the formula:
- 𝑩 = 𝝁𝟎 𝑰 / (𝟐𝝅 𝒓)
- Variables include:
- 𝝁𝟎: magnetic constant (4𝜋 × 10^(-7) T m/A)
- 𝑰: current through the wire
- 𝒓: distance from the wire
Solenoids
- A solenoid is an electromagnet formed by winding a coil of wire, producing a uniform magnetic field.
- Stacking loops amplifies the magnetic field due to the contributions of each loop.
Charged Particles in Magnetic Fields
- A charged particle in a magnetic field experiences a force that alters its motion based on charge direction and magnetic field orientation.
- The right-hand "slap" rule is used to find the direction of movement for positively charged particles.
- Magnetic Force (F) depends on:
- 𝒒: particle charge
- 𝑩: magnetic field strength
- 𝒗: particle velocity
- 𝜽: angle between particle path and field
- The formula for magnetic force is:
- 𝑭 = 𝒒 𝒗 𝑩 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝜽
- Maximum force occurs when the particle moves perpendicularly to the field (sin 90 = 1).
- Minimal force happens when the particle travels parallel to the field (sin 0 = 0).
Current-Carrying Wires in Magnetic Fields
- Current-carrying wires, composed of moving charged particles, experience magnetic force in external magnetic fields.
- The magnetic force on wires can be derived from the magnetic force equation:
- 𝑭 = 𝑩 𝑰 𝑳 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝜽
- 𝑳 represents the length of the wire.
