  1. Today’s agenda: Magnetic Fields Due To A Moving Charged Particle. You must be able to calculate the magnetic field due to a moving charged particle. Biot-Savart Law: Magnetic Field due to a Current Element. You must be able to use the Biot-Savart Law to calculate the magnetic field of a current-carrying conductor (for example: a long straight wire). Force Between Current-Carrying Conductors. You must be able to begin with starting equations and calculate forces between current-carrying conductors.

  2. Magnetic Field of a Current-Carrying Wire It is experimentally observed that parallel wires exert forces on each other when current flows. I1 I2 I1 I2 F12 F21 F12 F21     “Knowledge advances when Theory does battle with Real Data.”—Ian Redmount

  3. Example: use the expression for B due to a current-carrying wire to calculate the force between two current-carrying wires. d I1 I2 L F12  B2 y L1 L2 z x   The force per unit length of wire is Homework Hint: use this technique for any homework problems with long parallel wires!

  4. B d I1 I2 L F12 F21 B1  y L1 L2 z x   The force per unit length of wire is

  5. Be able to show that if the currents in the wires are in the opposite direction, the force is repulsive. d I1 I2 L F12 F21 L1 L2   The official definition of the Ampere: 1 A is the current that produces a force of 2x10-7 N per meter of length between two long parallel wires placed 1 meter apart in empty space.
