1. Ch. 21 - Magnetic Forces and Fields

2. 21.1 Magnetism • Chinese scientists first used the lodestone compass for navigation in the 12th century. • By the beginning of the 17th century, Europeans understood that compasses worked because the Earth itself was a magnet. • Today we know this is due to the interaction between the solid and molten parts of the Earth’s iron core.

3. 21.1 Magnetic Fields The behavior of magnetic poles is similar to that of like and unlike electric charges.

4. 21.1 Magnetic Fields The needle of a compass is permanent magnet that has a north magnetic pole (N) at one end and a south magnetic pole (S) at the other. The north pole of a magnet is attracted to the south pole of another magnet. The geographic North Pole is actually a south magnetic pole.

5. 21.1 Magnetic Fields • Surrounding a magnet there is a magnetic field, an “alteration of space” caused by the magnet. • The direction of the magnetic field at any point in space is the direction indicated by the north pole of a small compass needle placed at that point. • The variable we use for the magnetic field is • The SI unit for magnetic field strength is the (N-s)/(C-m), the tesla, T.

6. The Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) and Aurora Australis (Southern Lights) occur near the poles, where the Earth’s magnetic field is the strongest.

8. Magnetism • An understanding of the relationship between electricity and magnetism began in 1819 with work by Oersted, who discovered that an electric current could influence a compass needle. • Later in the 19th century, Faraday and Maxwell and others unified electricity and magnetism into the study of electromagnetism. An electromagnetic wave consists of propogating electric (E) and magnetic (B) fields.

11. MAGNETIC FIELD OF A LONG, STRAIGHT WIRE • The magnetic field due to a long straight current-carrying wire is circular in shape. • The magnitude, (magnetic field strength) is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire. Spacing of field lines increases with distance. • The field strength is: • Where μ0 the permeability of free space, a fundamental constant of magnetism: • = 1.257 x 10-6 T m/A • B = (2 x 10-7)I • r

25. A THIN LOOP OF WIRE The magnetic field center of circular loop of N turns is: I = current through the loop R = radius of the loop μ0 = permeability of free space This formula is appropriate if the radius of the loop is greater than it’s thickness, but not for a solenoid.

29. Magnetic force on a moving charge due to an external magnetic field • By virtue of its motion, any moving charge is a magnet whether positive or negative. • In the presence of an external magnetic field, the charge will experience a force (we ignore the tiny field due to the charge itself. • If the net force is non-zero, the particle will accelerate in accordance with Newton’s 2nd Law. • Recall that acceleration results in a change in either speed OR direction.

30. The direction of the magnetic force on a charge moving in an external B field Right Hand Rule No. 1. Extend the right hand so the fingers point along the direction of the magnetic field and the thumb points along the velocity of the charge. The palm of the hand then faces in the direction of the magnetic force that acts on a positive charge. If the moving charge is negative, use the left hand.

31. The magnitude of the magnetic force on a charge moving in an external B field |Fm|= qvB(sinθ) • θ is the angle between the direction of motion and the direction of B • B is an external field caused by magnetic objects that are not always shown F = 0F<FmaxF = Fmax

32. Magnetic Force on a moving charge due to an external B field Fm = qvBsinθ • Only a moving charge experiences a force. • θ is the angle between the direction of motion and the direction of B. There is no force if sin θ = 0 • Therefore, there must be a component of velocity perpendicular to the external field, or F = 0.

33. Magnetic Force on a moving charge due to an external B field Fm = qvBsinθ • The force is mutually perpendicular to v and B. • The force on a negative moving charge is shown by the left hand rule!

35. 21.3 The Motion of a Charged Particle in a Magnetic Field • The magnetic force always remains perpendicular to the velocity. • A constant force perpendicular to velocity results in a centripetal acceleration and uniform circular motion.

38. How much Deuterium in my sample? Deuterium, (“heavy hydrogen”) has an extra neutron in its nucleus, along with its one proton. Researchers want to know the percentage of deuterium in a sample of hydrogen. The hydrogen is stripped of its electron, and then is accelerated through the metal plates with a potential difference of 2100 Volts. It then enters a uniform B field 0.1T, out of the page. Ignore effects due to gravity. At what radius should the detector be placed to detect the deuterium? mp = mn = 1.67 x 10-27 kg q = e = 1.60 x 10-19 C v = 4.5 x 105 m/s (from conservation of energy).
