AP Physics III.D Magnetic Fields
Magnetic field as plainly demonstrated by iron filings and compasses.
A magnetic field exerts a force on a charged particle when . . . • The charge is moving • The velocity of the moving charge has a component that is perpendicular to the direction of the field
Consider . . . 1) a magnetic field and the charge moving parallel or antiparallel to the field
2) The charge moving at 90º to the direction of the field (time for Right Hand Rule Number 1)
3) The charge moving between 0º and 180º to the direction of the field
Note: for positive charges in a magnetic field use your right hand. For negative charges in a magnetic field use your left hand.
Work done on a charged particle moving through a electric and magnetic fields
A for a handy formula which I never remember and is not a “boxer” but one you can easily derive.
Ex. A particle with charge +q traveling with velocity v, enters a uniform magnetic field B, as shown below. Describe the particle’s motion. B v +q
III.D.2 Force on a current carrying wire in a magnetic field
Ex. A U-shaped wire of mass m is lowered into a magnetic field B that points in the plane of the page. What is the magnitude and direction of the current I that must pass through the wire if the net force on the wire is zero?
