Study Notes

Magnetic Fields and Charged Particles

  • A charged particle moving in a magnetic field will follow a straight path if the field and velocity are parallel. If perpendicular, a circular path results.
  • Fleming's left-hand rule dictates the direction of force on a moving charged particle in a magnetic field.
  • The magnitude of the force is calculated using the formula F = qvBsinθ, where q is the charge, v is the velocity, B is the magnetic field strength, and θ is the angle between v and B.

Solenoids

  • A solenoid is a coil of wire wound in a helical manner.
  • It produces a uniform magnetic field inside.
  • The magnitude of the magnetic field inside a solenoid is given by the formula B = μ₀nI, where μ₀ is the permeability of free space, n is the number of turns per unit length, and I is the current.

Magnetic Field at the Center of a Current Loop

  • The magnetic field at the center of a circular current loop is given by the formula B = μ₀I/2R, where μ₀ is the permeability of free space, I is the current, and R is the radius of the loop.

Magnetic Field on Axis of a Current Loop

  • The magnetic field at a point on the axis of a current loop is calculated using the formula B = (μ₀I R²)/2(R² + x²)^3/2, where μ₀ is the permeability of free space, I is the current, R is the radius of the loop, and x is the distance from the center of the loop to the point on the axis.

Path of a Charged Particle in Combined Fields

  • The path will be a helix if an electric and a magnetic field are both perpendicular to the direction of the velocity.

Specific Charge of an Electron

  • Specific charge (e/m) can be calculated using the formula e/m = 2y v2 / Ex2, where:
    • y = deflection in the y-direction
    • v = initial velocity of the electron
    • E = electric field strength
    • x = distance the electron moves in the x-direction.
