BoardWork Indicate which pole of the magnet is north and which is south. (The blue lines represent magnetic field lines.)
Magnets and Currents interacting and inseparable
Objectives • Describe the magnetic field caused by an electrical current. • Determine the force on an electric charge in a magnetic field.
What’s the Point? • What is the force that underlies electric motors?
Current Creates Magnetism An electric current creates a magnetic field. Look, Ma! No poles!

Board Work An electric current creates a magnetic field whose lines circle right-handed around it. Draw lines for the magnetic field created by a ring of current. I

Types of Magnets • Electromagnets • currents travel through conducting coils • Permanent Magnets • materials whose electrons have aligned spins or orbits Moving charges create the fields!
The Lorentz Force making electrons work for us
Magnetic Force on a Charge • Currents create magnetic fields. • Currents are made of moving charges. • Moving charges are magnets. • Magnets apply forces to each other. • Magnets apply forces to moving charges. How do those forces behave?

Cross Product Review a A q B b AB = area of parallelogram
a A q B b AB=–(BA) Cross Product Review • Curl right-hand fingers in direction of q • Right-hand thumb points in direction of cross-product • Not commutative
If q, v or B reverse, direction of F reverses Lorentz Force Properties • F = 0 unless charge is moving • F = 0 if velocity is to field • F = maximum if velocity is to field • F 0 only if charge crosses B field lines

B q 2q v v Group Poll Question How does the work done on object A compare to the work done on object B? A B • wB > wA. • wB = wA. • wB < wA.
F = qvB does not explicitly include a reaction force. • Magnetic fields (B) are always created by moving charges. • Moving charges (qv) always create magnetic fields. • The moving charge creating B “feels” the field of qv. So F = qvB goes both ways. Lorentz and Newton’s third law Here’s where it is:
Board Work From F = qv× B, find the SI unit of magnetic field B.
Challenge Question A current runs through one wire of a pair of parallel wires. What is the direction of the resulting magnetic field at the location of the other wire? I ?
Force between parallel currents What is the force on this current?I B
Definition of Ampere • If two parallel wires are held 1 m apart, • with currents of 1 A through each wire, • the attractive force between the wires is 2 10–7 N for each meter of length of the wires.
