Physics 30S Electromagnetic Induction
What is Electromagnetism? • A changing magnetic field creates an electric field • A changing electric field creates a magnetic field • Basis for electricity generation, transmission, most uses and applications
Maxwell’s Equations • Complicated, but in essence: • Electric fields and magnetic fields are one phenomena: an electromagnetic field • United concepts of electricity and magnetism into 4 equations James Clerk Maxwell June 13 ,1831 – November 5, 1879
Michael Faraday • Faraday was a great researcher • Intuitive knowledge about electricity and magnetism • Performed many experiments which paved the way for an understanding of electromagnetism • Primitive motor September 22, 1791 – August 25, 1867
Hans Christian Oersted • Oersted made one of the first electricity/magnetism insights all because of a messy desk • Current carrying wire caused compass needles to divert • Oersted’s basic principle of electromagnetism: moving electric charges produce a magnetic field August 14,1777 – March 9, 1851
Field around a Current Carrying Wire • Current through a wire creates a circular magnetic field; weakens with distance • Right Hand Rule 1: • Point thumb in the direction of the current • Make a fist • Fingers show direction of magnetic field • Magnitude of field: B is the magnetic field (T) I is the current (A) r is the distance from the wire (m)
Right Hand Rule 1 • Point your thumb in the direction of current flow • Fingers wrap to show direction of the magnetic field
Visualizing the Magnetic Field around a Wire • Point your thumb with the current • Curl your fingers to determine the direction of the field
What is ? • Permeability of free space • 4π x 10-7 Tm/A • Physical constant • Permeability relates the ability of the medium to induce a magnetic field • Inductance
Notation • Current • Coming out of the screen • Going into the screen • Meant to visualize an arrow
Example1 Right Hand Rule 1 Add arrows to show the direction of the magnetic field
Example 1: Calculating Field a) What is the strength of the magnetic field 15 cm away from a wire carrying 75 A? B = 1.0 x 10-4 T b) At what distance is the strength of the magnetic field 1.5 x 10-5 T? r = 1.0 m
Example 2: Calculating Field a) How much current is a wire carrying if the magnetic field is measured to be 3.03 x 10-3 T at 0.500 meters away? I = 7580 A b) What is the strength of the magnetic field 1.50 m from the wire? B = 1.01 x10-3 T

Force on a Current Carrying Wire • Current carrying wires experience a force in an external magnetic field • Right Hand Rule 2: • Make an L shape with your hand • Thumb points in the direction of the current • Fingers point in the direction of the magnetic field • Palm shows the direction of the force • Magnitude of the Force: B is the magnetic field (T) I is the current (A) l is the length of the wire (m) Θ is the angle between the magnetic field and the wire (not in the text)
Example 1 Right Hand Rule 2 What direction is the force on the wire? Solution: Into the screen
Example 1: Calculating Force A 25cm wire in a motor carrying 15 A of current is in a magnetic field of 0.2T. What will be the force on the wire, assuming that the wire and magnetic field are perpendicular? FB = 0.08 N
Example 2: Calculating Force What length of conductor, running at right angles to a 0.033 T magnetic field and carrying a current of 20.0 A, will experience a force of 0.10N? I = 0.15 m
What about Charged Particles? • Magnetic fields exert a force on moving electrical charges, including charged particles • What might the formula be?
Example 1: Moving Particles • An electron is shot through a cathode ray tube TV at 5.0 x 105 m/s, perpendicular to the direction of the field. If the force acting on the particle is 2.0 x 10-15 N and the length of the tube is 10 cm, what is the strength of the magnetic field? • B = 0.025 T
Example 2: Moving Particles • An alpha particle (He2+) is shot through a magnetic field at 3.33 x 106 m/s, perpendicular to the direction of the field. If the magnetic field strength is 1.5 x 10-4T, what is the magnitude of the force acting on the particle? • F = 1.6 x10-16 N

Defining Magnetic Field • Magnetic field hasn’t been defined qualitatively • Magnetic field is a force per unit current element • Electromagnetism is needed
Solenoid Picture • A solenoid is our first electromagnet • Magnet caused by electricity
Solenoids • A solenoid is a coiled wire • Contains many loops • Magnetic field of each loop sums to make the magnetic field of the solenoid • http://webphysics.davidson.edu/Applets/BField/solenoid.html • Capable of producing strong magnetic fields • Right Hand Rule 3: • Coil fingers with the direction of current • Thumb points in the direction of magnetic north • Magnetic field created is similar to a bar magnet
Right Hand Rule 3: Solenoids • Right Hand Rule 3: • Coil fingers with the direction of current • Thumb points in the direction of magnetic north
