  3. Current and Magnets In the presence of moving charge (current) a compass will rotate • so, current carrying wires exert magnetic force When the wire is wrapped in a loop poles form on each side of it For a stronger B-field • more loops (solenoid) • loops wrapped around a magnetic core (electromagnet)

  4. More on how materials become magnetized… Electrons move in tiny circular paths generating their own magnetic fields • Electrons are grouped in areas called domains • B-fields of electrons in each domain are lined up • Together they act as one stronger B-field • The magnetic effect is even stronger when domains line up.

  5. More on how materials become magnetized… • Materials that can become magnetized have domains that can shift in order to line up. • High permeability = domains shift easily • Low permeability = domains hard to shift

  6. Force on a Current Carrying Wire Current carrying wires placed near a magnet can experience force • force causes wire to move • current must flow perpendicular to the B-field * single charges can also experience a force in a B field

  7. Force on a Current Carrying Wire F = IlB F = force (N) I = electron flow (A) l = length of wire (m) B = Magnetic Field strength (Tesla = T = N/Am)

  8. Example Problem The current flowing in a 2.0 m wire is 100 A. The wire is placed in a magnetic field of 0.003 T such that it is oriented perpendicular to the field. Calculate the force experienced by the wire. F = IlB F = 100 A(2.0 m)(0.003 T ) F = 0.6 N

  9. Left Hand Rule • Thumb = direction of e-flow • Fingers = direction of B-field • Palm = force Magnetic Field Current (e- flow) Force
