  1. The magnetic force law (Lorentz law) The magnitude of the force is the B field x the perpendicular velocity x charge Or The velocity x the perpendicular B field x charge Use right hand rule, but be careful … notice sign of charge!

  2. Another way to take a cross product

  3. We discussed the flux of the magnetic field last time. Through any closed surface, it’s zero. No “sources” (origins) for magnetic field lines. We will see in the coming month that magnetic flux through open surfaces IS important. It’s calculated the same way we calculated flux of the electric field…

  4. A B field of 10 Tesla (T) is pointing north and up (30° above horizontal.) What is the flux of the B field through the desk, A= 2 m2 ?Recall cos(30°) = √3/2cos(60°) = 1/2 A] 5 Tm2 B] 5√3 Tm2 C] 10 Tm2 D] 10√3 Tm2 E] 20 Tm2

  5. As the magnetic force is always perpendicular to velocity, a uniform B field cannot cause particles to speed up or slow down. It just makes them go in circles. (OR HELICES)

  6. Centripetal force = Fmag Cyclotron frequency

  7. Part a. Use A for i), B for ii) etc. Radius is proportional to v. Ans. B (ii)

  8. Part b. Use A for i), B for ii) etc. Because r is proportional to v, the period is unchanged. Ans. A (i)

  9. Magnetic forces on current carrying wires. Current means charges in motion. The field exerts a force on the moving charge carriers. They transfer that force to the lattice through collisions.

  10. The unit of the magnetic field B (the Tesla)A] is the same as the electric field times a velocityB] is the same as the electric field divided by a velocityC] cannot be expressed as either of these(The electric field is V/m.)

  11. velocity

  12. Use A for i), B for ii) etc. Same speed. Ans C (iii)

  13. A curious point: since magnetic forces are perpendicular to velocity, they do no work on charges. But they do work on wires! How can this be? (I’m not going to tell you the answer…life should have some mysteries, eh?)

  14. Hall Effect -- How to determine the sign of charge carriers The electric potential is A] higher at A B] higher at B C] the same in both places If the current direction were the same, but electrons carried the current, where would the electric potential be higher?

  15. What is the sign of the charge carriers in this conductor?A] +B] -C] Can’t tell

  16. What is the drift velocity of the negative charge carriers?A] 0B] 10-3 m/sC] 10-2 m/sD] 10-1 m/sE] 1 m/s

  17. Why do compass needles align with B? Why do opposite poles attract? Why do magnets attract iron?

  18. Magnetic Torque on a current loop Magnetic Moment Potential energy of a current loop

  19. Sources of Magnetic Fields - Moving Charges Biot-Savart Law 1/r2 dependence in a given direction No B field front or back B field “curls” around charge trajectory 0 is a constant, just like 0 for E fields. “Permeability of space”

  20. Sources of Magnetic Fields - Moving Charges Biot-Savart Law A charge moves in a circle at constant speed. At the time shown, where is B=0? Or choose E: at more than one point shown

  21. Sources of Magnetic Fields - Moving Charges Biot-Savart Law A charge moves in a circle at constant speed. If one wishes to calculate the B field at point D, what is ? A) A unit vector upward B) a unit vector downward

  22. Sources of Magnetic Fields - Moving Charges Biot-Savart Law A + charge moves in a circle at constant speed. What is the direction of the B field at D? A] left B] into page C] out of page D] down E] up

  23. Sources of Magnetic Fields - Moving Charges Biot-Savart Law A + charge moves in a circle at constant speed. What is the direction of the E field at D? A] left B] into page C] out of page D] down E] up

  24. Sources of Magnetic Fields - Moving Charges Biot-Savart Law A + charge moves in a circle at constant speed. What is the direction of the B field at point B? A] out of page B] out of page and up C] out of page and up and right

  25. Sources of Magnetic Fields - Moving Charges Biot-Savart Law What is the ratio of the B field strength at C to that at D? A] BC/BD=4 B] BC/BD=2 C] BC/BD=1 D] BC/BD=1/4

  26. Sources of Magnetic Fields - Moving Charges Biot-Savart Law The “pièce de résistance!” What is the ratio of the B field strength at C to the strength at B? A] BC/BB=4 B] BC/BB=2√2 C] BC/BB=2 D] BC/BB= BC/BD=√2

  27. Just as with force laws, I l  q v

  28. This “version” of the right hand rule gives the same result as Try it.

  29. What is the contribution of the straight sections of the wire to the magnetic field in the center of the semicircle?A] Each contributes 0B] They both have contributions that are opposite, and so add to 0C] Each contributes D] infinite Now let’s work out the contribution from the semicircle.
