Electricity and Magnetism Course PA113 – Unit 3
UNIT 3 – Introductory Lecture • The Magnetic Field • Chapter 28 • Sources of the Magnetic Field • Chapter 29
Importance of Magnetic Fields • Practical Uses • Electric motors, Loud speakers, Navigation (Earth’s magnetic field) • In Experimental Physics • Mass spectrometers, Particle accelerators, Plasma confinement • In the Universe • Stars (e.g. the Sun), Interstellar space, Intergalactic structure, Jets
Importance of Magnetic Fields • Units – SI Tesla (T) = (N C-1)/(m s-1) or N A-1 m -1 • 1 Gauss (G) = 10-4 T • Examples • Terrestrial B field ~ 4x10-5 T • Solenoid ~ 10-3 T • Permanent magnet ~ 10-1 T • Atomic interactions ~ 10 T • Superconducting magnet ~ 102 T • White dwarfs ~ 102 - 103 T • Neutron stars < 108 T
Ch28 – The Magnetic Field • 28-1 Force exerted by a Magnetic Field • 28-2 Motion of a point charge in a Magnetic Field • 28-3 Torques on current loops and magnets • 28-4 The Hall Effect
Vector Notation • The DOT product • The CROSS product
28-1 The Force Exerted by a Magnetic Field • Key Concept – Magnetic fields apply a force to moving charges Current element
Representation of Magnetic Field • Like electric field, can be represented by field lines • Field direction indicated by direction of lines • Field strength indicated by density of lines • But, unlike electric field • Magnetic field lines perpendicular to force • No isolated magnetic poles, so no points in space where field lines begin or end
28-2 Motion of a Point Charge in a Magnetic Field • Key Concept – Force is perpendicular to field direction and velocity • Therefore, magnetic fields do no work on particles • There is no change in magnitude of velocity, just direction
28-2 Motion of a Point Charge in a Magnetic Field • Radius of circular orbit • Cyclotron period • Cyclotron frequency
28-3 Torques on Current Loops and Magnets • Key concept – a current loop experiences no net force in a uniform B field but does experience a torque
Magnetic dipole moment 28-3 Torques on Current Loops and Magnets
Integrate Zero at θ = 90o Potential Energy of a Magnetic Dipole in a Magnetic Field • Potential energy • Work done…..
28-4 The Hall Effect Vh = vdBw
Ch29 – Sources of the Magnetic Field • 29-1 The Magnetic Field of moving point charges • 29-2 The Magnetic Field of Currents • Biot-Savart Law • 29-3 Gauss’ Law for Magnetism • 29-4 Ampère’s Law • 29-5 Magnetism in matter
29-1The Magnetic Field of Moving Point Charges • Point charge q moving with velocity v produces a field B at point P μo= permeability of free space μo= 4 x 10-7 T·m·A-1
29-2 The Magnetic Field of Currents: The Biot-Savart Law • Key concept – current as a series of moving charges – replace qv by Idl Add each element to get total B field
Magnetic flux 29-3 Gauss’ Law for Magnetism • Key concept – The net flux of magnetic field lines through a closed surface is zero (i.e. no magnetic monopoles)
29-3 Gauss’ Law for Magnetism Electric dipole Magnetic dipole (or current loop)
29-4 Ampère’s Law • Key concept – like Gauss’ law for electric field, uses symmetry to calculate B field around a closed curve C N.B. This version assumes the currents are steady
29-5 Magnetism in Matter • Magnetization, M = m Bapp/0 • m is the magnetic susceptibility • Paramagnetic • M in same direction as B, dipoles weakly add to B field (small +ve m ) • Diamagnetic • M in opposite direction to B, dipoles weakly oppose B field (small -ve m ) • Ferromagnetic • Large +ve m, dipoles strongly add to B-field. Can result in permanent magnetic field in material.
