This was the first significant evidence that the movement of charges had any connection with magnets. omagnetism is the use of electric current to make magnets. These temporarily induced magnets are called 11.2 Ferromagnets omagnets. Electromagnets and Electromagnets are employed for everything from a wrecking yard crane that lifts scrapped cars to contro am of a 90-km-circumference Ferromagnets particle accelerator to the magnets in medical imaging machines (See Figure 22.9). Hard Magnetic Material Only certain materials, such as iron, cobalt, nickel, and gadolinium, exhibit strong magnetic effects. Such materials are called Soft ferromagnetic, after the Latin word for iron, ferrum. A group of materials made from the alloys of the rare earth elements are Stable location Move easily also used as strong and permanent magnets; a popular one is neodymium. Other materials exhibit weak magnetic effects, which Domain Walls are detectable only with sensitive instruments. Not only do ferromagnetic materials respond strongly to magnets (the way iron is attracted to magnets), they can also be magnetized themselves—that is, they can be induced to be magnetic or made into permanent magnets. Figure 11.7 An unmagnetized piece of iron is placed between two magnets, heated, and then cooled, or simply tapped when cold. The iron becomes a permanent magnet with the poles aligned as shown: its south pole is adjacent to the north pole of the original magnet, and its north pole is adjacent to the south pole of the original magnet. Note that there are attractive forces between the magnets. Create a permanent magnet: When a magnet is brought near a previously unmagnetized ferromagnetic material, it causes local magnetization of the material with unlike poles closest, as in Figure 11.7. (This results in the attraction of the previously unmagnetized material to the magnet.) take hard magnetic material What happens on a microscopic scale is illustrated in Figure 11.8. The regions within the material called domains act like small bar magnets. Within domains, the poles of individual atoms are aligned. Each atom acts like a tiny bar magnet. Domains are heat (or tap) → ease moving of domain walls → “soften” material 22.9 Instrument small for magnetic goes into this “tunnel” and randomly may growontothe resonance oriented inimaging gurney. millimeter size, (MRI).ferromagnetic an unmagnetized (credit: aligningBill The deviceobject.

Torque on a Current Loop The forces on opposite sides are opposite and equal, but for the top and bottom sides, they do not act along the same line. We therefore have no net force Fnet = 0 torque on the loop τ = IAB sin θ (see tutorial on how to calculate this) PHY1032S — Magnetism Worked Example: Triangular Current Loop A equilateral triangle is placed in a uniform magnetic field, with the plane of the triangle parallel to the magnetic field: B ~ I What are the net force and the torque on the triangle? PHY1032S — Magnetism Magnetic Dipole Moment The equation for the torque on a current loop τ = IA B sin θ only depends on the product of loop area A and current I. We introduce the magnetic dipole moment m of a current loop as m ~ = IA ~ The length of the vector A ~ is the area of the loop, and the direction is perpendicular to the plane of the loop. Remember that the fields of loops, solenoids and bar magnets look similar. The concept of a magnetic dipole moment therefore even applies to bar magnets, solenoids etc. PHY1032S — Magnetism Torque on a Magnetic Dipole With the magnetic dipole moment m ~ we can write the torque on a dipole: ~τ = I A ~ ×B~ =m ~ ×B ~ m| |B| |~τ | = |~ ~ sin θ The torque on the dipole will align the magnetic dipole moment with the magnetic field. Chapter 22 | Magnetism 875 For sin Ȇ = 1 , the maximum torque is Ȓ max = /*"#. (22.22) Entering known values yields Ȓ max = (100)(15.0 A)130.100 m 246(2.00 T) (22.23) = 30.0 N ⋅ m. Discussion This torque is large enough to be useful in a motor. PHY1032S — Magnetism The torque found in the preceding example is the maximum. As the coil rotates, the torque decreases to zero at Ȇ = 0. The Electric Motor torque then reverses its direction once the coil rotates past Ȇ = 0. (See Figure 22.35(d).) This means that, unless we do something, the coil will oscillate back and forth about equilibrium at Ȇ = 0. To get the coil to continue rotating in the same direction, we can reverse the current as it passes through Ȇ = 0 with automatic switches called brushes. (See Figure 22.36.) Ȇ =moment Torque turns loop → magnetic dipole aligned 0 , the brushes Figure 22.36 (a) As the angular momentum of the coil carries it through with magnetic field reverse the current to keep the torque clockwise. (b) The coil will rotate continuously in the clockwise direction, with the current reversing each half revolution to maintain the clockwise torque. Reverse direction of current → loop turns to opposite direction Meters, such as those in analog fuel gauges on a car, are another common application of magnetic torque on a current-carrying Commutator: inverts current direction every half turn loop. Figure 22.37 shows that a meter is very similar in construction to a motor. The meter in the figure has its magnets shaped to limit the effect of Ȇ by making # perpendicular to the loop over a large angular range. Thus the torque is proportional to * PHY1032S — Magnetism Electric Motors in Practice τ = m B sin θ Magnetic dipole moment m and field B Largest torque for high dipole moment of rotor, strong magnetic field of stator Loops with many turns Soft iron core to amplify fields Angle θ between dipole moment and field Highest torque for sin θ ≈ 1, i.e. θ ≈ 90° Dead points (no torque) for sin θ = 0, i.e. θ = 0°, 180° Use rotor with many poles PHY1032S — Magnetism Experiment: Electron Beam in Magnetic Fields PHY1032S — Magnetism Magnetic Force on a Charged Particle A magnetic field deflects charged If the particle is not moving particles moving perpendicular to it. perpendicular to the field, it is deflected less. PHY1032S — Magnetism Magnetic Force on a Charged Particle The magnetic field does not deflect a A particle at rest does not experience particle moving parallel to it. a magnetic force. PHY1032S — Magnetism Force on a Point Charge A particle with charge q and velocity ~v is moving in a magnetic field B. ~ What is the force on the particle? We start from the force on a current: F ~ = I~L × B. ~ Current I, distance travelled ~L, charge q and velocity ~v are linked: q q I= L = ~v ∆t ~ ⇒ IL = ~ (~v ∆t) = q~v ∆t ∆t We can then write the magnetic force on this point charge: F ~ = q~v × B ~ PHY1032S — Magnetism Point Charge in Uniform Magnetic Field A point charge q is moving in a uniform magnetic field. The angle between the velocity of the particle ~v and the magnetic field B ~ is α. ~v q B ~ What is the trajectory of the point charge? PHY1032S — Magnetism Force on the Point Charge in Uniform Magnetic Field The force on the point charge F ~ = q~v × B ~ is perpendicular to the velocity and the magnetic field. The component of the force parallel to the magnetic field, Fk , is therefore 0. The motion in this ~v direction is uniform: F ~ B ~ ak = Fk /m = 0 vk = const xk = vk t + const PHY1032S — Magnetism Reminder: Circular Motion What is the force required to keep an object on a circular path? the acceleration, and hence the force, is perpendicular to the velocity F ~ ⊥ ~v the magnitude of the force is 2 mv 2 Fcent = mr ω = r PHY1032S — Magnetism Charged Particle in Magnetic Field The magnetic force is always perpendicular to the velocity F ~ = q~v × B ~ In mechanics, we fixed the radius and found the string tension (force) to keep an object in circular motion. For a charged object moving in a magnetic field we know the magnetic force and use it to determine the radius of its circular path. PHY1032S — Magnetism Example: Motion Perpendicular to Magnetic Field We equate magnetic and centripetal force: Fmag = Fcent mv⊥2 qv⊥ B = r And we solve for the radius of the circular path: mv⊥ r= qB PHY1032S — Magnetism Motion of a Charged Particle in a Magnetic Field Superposition of two components: parallel to magnetic field no force in direction of B ~ uniform motion with velocity, momentum vk = v cos α pk = p cos α perpendicular to magnetic field force perpendicular to velocity circular motion with velocity and radius v⊥ = v sin α p⊥ = p sin α mv sin α mv⊥ p⊥ r= = = qB qB qB The superposition results in a helix path for the moving charged particle. The particle path curls around the field lines PHY1032S — Magnetism Mass Spectrometer The motion of a point charge is determined by its charge q, the mass m and the velocity ~v. In particle, nuclear or atomic physics, the charge is usually a small multiple of the elementary charge. Often, it is simply ±e. We are then left with 2 unknowns — m and ~v — and we can use two of the three following quantities to fix them: ~v ~p = m~v Ekin = 12 mv 2 We have just seen how we can use a magnetic field to measure the momentum We often use an electric field to accelerate the particles to a certain kinetic energy. A combindation of electric and magnetic fields can be used as a velocity selector. PHY1032S — Magnetism Mass Spectrometer PHY1032S — Magnetism Example: Mass Spectrometer Ions are accelerated by an electric potential difference of 1500 V and deflected in a magnetic field of 10 mT.

Hall Effect The magnetic force also acts on electrons inside a conductor in a magnetic field. F ~ = q~v × B ~ B field deflects electrons to one side of conductor excess charges create electric field in conductor and potential difference V between sides Figure 11.28 The Hall emf produces an electric force that balances the magnetic force on the moving charges. The magnetic force pr charge separation, which builds up until it is balanced by the electric force, an equilibrium that is quickly reached. Steady state: electric andOnemagnetic forces of the most common cancel uses of the Hall effect is in the measurement of magnetic field strength. Such devices, c probes, can be made very small, allowing fine position mapping. Hall probes can also be made very accurate, usually qV accomplished by careful calibration. Another application of the Hall effect is to measure fluid flow in any fluid that has Felecshown. = qE Fmagnot = qvB charges (most do). (See Figure 11.29.) A magnetic field applied perpendicular to the flow direction produces a Hall e =the sign of =depends Note that of the Hall emf is l on the sign of the charges, but only on the directions of , where is the pipe diameter, so that the average velocity and. The m can be determined from the other factors are known. We can measure a potential difference between the sides: VHall = vlB PHY1032S — Magnetism Hall Sensor The Hall effect creates a potential difference – the Hall voltage – between the sides of a conductor that proportional to the magnetic field: VHall = vlB This can be used to measure a magnetic field. Semiconductor Hall sensors can be produced very cheaply and are used e.g. in many smartphones. PHY1032S — Electromagnetic Induction Electromagnetic Induction A change of the magnetic field near a solenoid induces a current. PHY1032S — Electromagnetic Induction Motional EMF We move a conducting bar through a magnetic field. What happens to the charge carriers in the bar? Ions experience a force, but are fixed in position → no effect Electrons experience a force in the opposite diretion and follow it → accumulate at end of bar.

(positive) charge carriers accumulate at end of bar (negative) net charge remains at opposite end the separation of charges creates an electric field In equilibrium the electric and magnetic forces cancel: ∆V FB = FE ⇒ qvB = qE = q L We see a potential difference between the ends of the bar: ∆V = L E = v L B PHY1032S — Electromagnetic Induction Induced Current in a Circuit keep 3 sides of loop fixed → no induced voltage move 4th side of loop → induced voltage result: current in loop Electromagnetic Induction PHY1032S — Electromagnetic Induction Magnetic Force on Induced Current Magnetic force on current points to the left slows down rod (moving to the right) Pulling force required to maintain speed PHY1032S — Electromagnetic Induction Power and Energy pulling force does work on moving rod work is converted to electric energy electric energy is dissipated as heat (resistance of wires) Convert mechanical to electric energy PHY1032S — Electromagnetic Induction Induced Current in a Loop a a Move two sides in opposite directions b b cos θ Only motion perpendicular to B-field counts Rotating the loop is b b cos θ θ a convenient way to achieve this PHY1032S — Electromagnetic Induction Induced Currents? v v v v v v v PHY1032S — Electromagnetic Induction Magnetic Flux The “number of field lines” is not a precise quantity. We therefore introduce the a magnetic flux: Φ = AB cos θ = A ~ ·B ~ b cos θ Where A is the area of the loop — for a rectangular loop A = ab, but the equation holds for any shape B is the magnetic field strength b cos θ b θ θ is the angle between the magnetic field and the axis of the loop The unit of the magnetic flux is 1 Tm2 = 1 Weber = 1 Wb PHY1032S — Electromagnetic Induction Lenz’s Law There is an induced current in a closed, conducting loop if and only if the magnetic flux through the loop is changing. The direction of the induced current is such that the induced magnetic field opposes the change in the flux. Nature dislikes a change in magnetic flux. PHY1032S — Electromagnetic Induction Eddy Currents PHY1032S — Electromagnetic Induction Faraday’s Law An emf E is induced in a conducting loop if the magnetic flux through the loop changes. For a change of the magnetic flux ∆Φ in a time interval ∆t, the induced emf is: ∆Φ E =− ∆t The direction of the emf can also be determined by Lenz’s law.

Discussion This torque is large enough to be useful in a motor. The torque found in the preceding example is the maximum. As the coil rotates, the torque decreases to zero at Ȇ = 0. The torque then reverses its direction once the coil rotates past Ȇ = 0. (See Figure 22.35(d).) This means that, unless we do Generators and electric motors are very similar: something, the coil will oscillate back and forth about equilibrium at Ȇ = 0. To get the coil to continue rotating in the same direction, we can reverse the current as it passes through Ȇ = 0 with automatic switches called brushes. (See Figure 22.36.) Motors are also generating an induced voltage (called Ȇ=0 back emf): Figure 22.36 (a) As the angular momentum of the coil carries it through , the brushes reverse the current to keep the torque clockwise. (b) The coil will rotate continuously in the clockwise direction, with the current reversing each half revolution to maintain the clockwise torque. torque accelerates rotor Meters, such as those in analog fuel gauges on a car, are another common application of magnetic torque on a current-carrying loop. Figure 22.37 shows that a meter is very similar in construction to a motor. The meter in the figure has its magnets shaped to limit the effect of Ȇ by making # perpendicular to the loop over a large angular range. Thus the torque is proportional to * increasing ω → increasing back emf and not Ȇ. A linear spring exerts a counter-torque that balances the current-produced torque. This makes the needle deflection * proportional to. If an exact proportionality cannot be achieved, the gauge reading can be calibrated. To produce a galvanometer for use in analog voltmeters and ammeters that have a low resistance and respond to small currents, we use a induced back emf reduces current, and torque large loop area " , high magnetic field # , and low-resistance coils. equilibrium when back emf equals supply voltage PHY1032S — Electromagnetic Induction Changing Magnetic Field A change in the effective area A cos θ of the loop is not the only way to change the flux, we can also change the magnetic field: Φ = AB cos θ According to Faraday’s Law, we should also get an induced current if the magnetic field in the solenoid changes: PHY1032S — Electromagnetic Induction Worked Example: Changing Magnetic Field A solenoid with 500 turns, length L = 20 cm and rS = 10 mm carries a sinusoidal current I(t) = I0 cos ωt = (0.0500 A) cos (2π(50 Hz)t) The solenoid is filled with a soft iron core increases the magnetic field by a factor 1000.

GFIs compare the currents in the live/hot and neutral wires. When live/hot and neutral currents are not Electrical Safety — Ground Fault Interrupter (GFI) l, it is almost always because current in the neutral is less than in the live/hot wire. Then some of the current, again called a age current, is returning to the voltage source by a path other than through the neutral wire. It is assumed that this path ents a hazard, such as shown in Figure 23.36. GFIs are usually set to interrupt the circuit if the leakage current is greater 5 mA, the accepted maximum harmless shock.
