Introduction

An electric field is a disturbance in space causedby electric charge. A magnetic field is adisturbance in space caused by moving electric charge.

An electric field creates a force on electric charges. A magnetic field creates a force on moving electric charges.

Magnetic Field and Force

It has been found that the magnetic force depends on the angle between the velocityof the electric charge and the magnetic field

The force on a moving charge canbe written as

where B represents themagnetic field

The SI unit of magnetic field is the tesla (T) = 1 N /(A.m). But often we use a smaller unit: the gauss (G) 1 G = 10-4 T

The Hall Effect

Consider a magnetic field into the page and a currentflowing from left to right.

Free positive charges will be deflected upwards and free negative chargesdownwards.

Motion of Charged Particles in a Magnetic Field

The magnetic force on a point charge does no work. Why?

The force merely changes the direction of motion ofthe point charge.

Magnetic Flux

Just as we did for electric fields, we can define a flux for a magnetic field:

But there is a profound differencebetween the two kinds of flux…

23

Gauss’s Law for Magnetism

Isolated positive and negative electriccharges exist. However, no one has ever found an isolated magnetic north or south pole, that is, no one has ever found a magnetic monopole

Consequently, for any closed surface themagnetic flux into the surface is exactlyequal to the flux out of the closed surface

24

Gauss’s Law for Magnetism

This yields Gauss’s law for magnetism

Unfortunately, however, because this lawdoes not relate the magnetic field to itssource it is not useful for computingmagnetic fields. But there is a law that is…

If one sums the dot product arounda closed loop that encircles a steady current

That law can be used to compute magnetic fields, given a problem of sufficient symmetry

26

Ampere’s Law: Example

What’s the magnetic field a distance z above aninfinite current sheet of current density per unitlength in the y direction? From symmetry, the magnetic

field must point in thepositive y directionabove the sheet and inthe negative y directionbelow the sheet.

Draw a rectangularloop of height2a in z and length bin y, symmetricallyplaced about the currentsheet.

28

Ampere’s Law: Example

The only contribution to the integral is from the upperand lower segments of the loop. From symmetry themagnitude of the magnetic field is constant and the

same on both segments. Therefore, the integral is just 2Bb. The encircled current is I = b. So, Ampere’s

law gives 2Bb = 0 b and therefore B = 0 / 2

Magnetization

Atoms have magnetic dipole moments due to

orbital motion of the electrons

magnetic moment of the electron

When the magneticmoments align wesay that the materialis magnetized.

42

Types of Materials

Materials exhibit three types of magnetism:paramagnetic

diamagnetic

ferromagnetic

43

Paramagnetism

Paramagnetic materials have permanent magnetic moments

moments randomly oriented at normal temperatures

adds a small additional field to applied magnetic field

44

Paramagnetism

Small effect (changes B by only 0.01%)

Example materials Oxygen, aluminum, tungsten, platinum

45

Diamagnetism

Diamagnetic materialsno permanent magnetic moments

magnetic moments induced by applied magnetic field B

applied field creates magnetic moments opposed to the field

46

Diamagnetism

Common to all materials.

Applied B field induces a magnetic field opposite the applied field, thereby weakening the overall magnetic field

But the effect is very small:Bm ≈ -10-4 Bapp

47

Diamagnetism

Example materials high temperature superconductors

coppersilver

48

Ferromagnetism

Ferromagnetic materialshave permanent magnetic moments

align at normal temperatures when an external field is applied and strongly enhances applied magnetic field

49

Ferromagnetism

Ferromagnetic materials (e.g. Fe, Ni, Co, alloys) have domains of randomly aligned magnetization (due to strong interaction of magnetic moments of neighboring atoms)

50

Ferromagnetism

Applying a magnetic field causes domainsaligned with the applied field to grow at the expense of others that shrink

Saturation magnetization is reachedwhen the aligned domains have replaced all others

51

Ferromagnetism

In ferromagnets, some magnetization will remain after the applied field is reduced to zero, yielding permanent magnets

Such materials exhibithysteresis
