4.1. Electromagnetic concepts and law of conservation of electric charge
1.Electromagnetic concepts
A magnetic fieldis a vector field which can exert a magnetic force on moving electric chargesand on magnetic dipoles (such as permanent magnets). When placed in a magnetic field,
magnetic dipoles tend to align their axes parallel to the magnetic field. Magnetic fields surround
and are created by electric currents, magnetic dipoles, and changing electric fields. Magneticfields also have their own energy, with an energy density proportional to the square of the field
magnitude.
The magnetic field forms one aspect of electromagnetism. A pure electric field in onereference frame will be viewed as a combination of both an electric field and a magnetic field in
a moving reference frame. Together, the electric and magnetic fields make up the
electromagnetic field, which is best known for underlying light and other electromagnetic
waves.
Electromagnetism describes the relationship between electricity and magnetism.Electromagnetism is essentially the foundation for all of electrical engineering. We use
electromagnets to generate electricity, store memory on our computers, generate pictures on a
television screen, diagnose illnesses, and in just about every other aspect of our lives that
depends on electricity.
Electromagnetism works on the principle that an electric current through a wire generates amagnetic field. We already know that a charge in motion creates a current. If the movement of
the charge is restricted in such a way that the resulting current is constant in time, the field thus
created is called a static magnetic field. Since the current is constant in time, the magnetic field
is also constant in time. The branch of science relating to constant magnetic fields is called
magnetostatics, or static magnetic fields. In this case, we are interested in the determination of
(a) magnetic field intensity, (b) magnetic flux density, (c) magnetic flux, and (d) the energy
stored in the magneticfi
eld.
Linking electricity and magnetism
There is a strong connection between electricity and magnetism. With electricity, there arepositive and negative charges. With magnetism, there are north and south poles. Similar to
charges, like magnetic poles repel each other, while unlike poles attract.
An important difference between electricity and magnetism is that in electricity it is possible tohave individual positive and negative charges. In magnetism, north and south poles are always
found in pairs. Single magnetic poles, known as magnetic monopoles, have been proposed
theoretically, but a magnetic monopole has never been observed.
In the same way that electric charges create electric fields around them, north and south poleswill set up magnetic fields around them. Again, there is a difference. While electric field lines
begin on positive charges and end on negative charges, magnetic field lines are closed loops,
extending from the south pole to the north pole and back again (or, equivalently, from the north
pole to the south pole and back again). With a typical bar magnet, for example, the field goes
from the north pole to the south pole outside the magnet, and back from south to north inside the
magnet.

Electric fields come from charges. So do magnetic fields, but from moving charges, orcurrents, which are simply a whole bunch of moving charges. In a permanent magnet, the
magnetic field comes from the motion of the electrons inside the material, or, more precisely,
from something called the electron spin. The electron spin is a bit like the Earth spinning on its
axis.
The magnetic field is a vector; the same way the electric field is. The electric field at a
particular point is in the direction of the force a positive charge would experience if it wereplaced at that point. The magnetic field at a point is in the direction of the force a north pole of a
magnet would experience if it were placed there. In other words, the north pole of a compass
points in the direction of the magnetic field that exerts a force on the compass.
The symbol for magnetic field induction or magnetic flux density is the letter B. The SI unit isthe tesla (T).
One of various manifestations of the linking between electricity and magnetism iselectromagnetic induction (see section 4.5). This involves generating a voltage (an induced
electromotive force) by changing the magnetic field that passes through a coil of wire.
In other words, electromagnetism is a two-way link between electricity and magnetism. Anelectric current creates a magnetic field, and a magnetic field, when it changes, creates a voltage.
The discovery of this link led to the invention of transformer, electric motor, and generator. It
also explained what light is and led to the invention of radio.
2. Law of conservation of electric charge
Electric charge
There are two kinds of charge, positive and negative. Like charges repel; unlike charges attract.
Positive charge results from having more protons than electrons; negative charge resultsfrom having more electrons than protons.
Charge is quantized, meaning that charge comes in integer multiples of the elementarycharge e.
Charge is conserved.
Probably everyone is familiar with the first three concepts, but what does it mean for charge tobe quantized? Charge comes in multiples of an indivisible unit of charge, represented by the
letter e. In other words, charge comes in multiples of the charge on the electron or the proton.
These things have the same size charge, but the sign is different. A proton has a charge of +e,
while an electron has a charge of -e. The amount of electric charge is only available in discrete
units. These discrete units are exactly equal to the amount of electric charge that is found on the
electron or the proton.
Electrons and protons are not the only things that carry charge. Other particles (positrons, forexample) also carry charge in multiples of the electronic charge. Putting "charge is quantized" in
terms of an equation, we say:
q = ne (79)

Physic 1 Module 4: Electricity and magnetism 5
q is the symbol used to represent charge, while n is a positive or negative integer (n = 0, 1, 2,
3, ), and e is the electronic charge, 1.60 x 10-19
coulombs.
Table of elementary particle masses and charges:
The law of conservation of charge
The law of conservation of charge states thatthe net charge of an isolated system remainsconstant. This law is inherent to all processes known to physics.
In other words, charge conservation is the principle that electric charge can neither be creatednor destroyed. The quantity of electric charge of an isolated systemis always conserved.
If a system starts out with an equal number of positive and negative charges, there is nothingwe can do to create an excess of one kind of charge in that system unless we bring in chargefrom outside the system (or remove some charge from the system). Likewise, if something starts
out with a certain net charge, say +100 e, it will always have +100 e unless it is allowed to
interact with something external to it.
Electrostatic charging
Forces between two electrically-charged objects can be extremely large. Most things areelectrically neutral; they have equal amounts of positive and negative charge. If this was not the
case, the world we live in would be a much stranger place. We also have a lot of control over
how things get charged. This is because we can choose the appropriate material to use in a given
situation.
Metals are good conductors of electric charge, while plastics, wood, and rubber are not. Theyare called insulators. Charge does not flow nearly as easily through insulators as it does through
conductors; that is why wires you plug into a wall socket are covered with a protective rubber
coating. Charge flows along the wire, but not through the coating to you.
Materials are divided into three categories, depending on how easily they will allow charge(i.e., electrons) to flow along them. These are:
conductors - metals, for example,
semi-conductors, silicon is a good example, and insulators, rubber, wood, plastic for example.
Most materials are either conductors or insulators. The difference between them is that inconductors, the outermost electrons in the atoms are so loosely bound to their atoms that they are
free to travel around. In insulators, on the other hand, the electrons are much more tightly bound
to their atoms, and are not free to flow. Semi-conductors are a very useful intermediate class, not
as conductive as metals but considerably more conductive than insulators. By adding certain
impurities to semi-conductors in the appropriate concentrations, the conductivity can be well-
controlled.

There are three ways that objects can be given a net charge. These are:
1. Charging by friction - this is useful for charging insulators. If you rub one material with
another (say, a plastic ruler with a piece of paper towel), electrons have a tendency to be
transferred from one material to the other. For example, rubbing glass with silk or saran
wrap generally leaves the glass with a positive charge; rubbing PVC rod with fur generally
gives the rod a negative charge.
2. Charging by conduction - useful for charging metals and other conductors. If a charged
object touches a conductor, some charge will be transferred between the object and the
conductor, charging the conductor with the same sign as the charge on the object.
3. Charging by induction - also useful for charging metals and other conductors. Again, a
charged object is used, but this time it is only brought close to the conductor, and does not
touch it. If the conductor is connected to ground (ground is basically anything neutral that
can give up electrons to, or take electrons from, an object), electrons will either flow on to it
or away from it. When the ground connection is removed, the conductor will have a charge
opposite in sign to that of the charged object.
Electric charge is a property of the particles that make up an atom. The electrons that surroundthe nucleus of the atom have a negative electric charge. The protons which partly make up the
nucleus have a positive electric charge. The neutrons which also make up the nucleus have no
electric charge. The negative charge of the electron is exactly equal and opposite to the positive
charge of the proton. For example, two electrons separated by a certain distance will repel one
another with the same force as two protons separated by the same distance, and, likewise, a
proton and an electron separated by the same distance will attract one another with a force of the
same magnitude.
In practice, charge conservation is a physical law that states that the net change in the amountof electric charge in a specific volume of space is exactly equal to the net amount of charge
flowing into the volume minus the amount of charge flowing out of the volume. In essence,charge conservation is an accounting relationship between the amount of charge in a region and
the flow of charge into and out of that same region.
Mathematically, we can state the law as
q(t2) = q(t1) + qin qout (80)
where q(t) is the quantity of electric charge in a specific volume at time t, qinis the amount of
charge flowing into the volume between time t1 and t2, and qout is the amount of charge flowing
out of the volume during the same time period.
The SI unit of electric charge is the coulomb (C).
4.2. Electric current
1. Electric current
Electric current is the flow of electric charge, as shown in Figure 51. The movingelectric charges may be either electrons or ions.

Physic 1 Module 4: Electricity and magnetism 7
Figure 51: Charges inmotion through an area A.The time rate at whichcharge flows through thearea is defined as thecurrent intensity I. Thedirection of the current isthe direction in which
positive charges flowwhen freeto do so.
Whenever there is a net flow of charge through some region, a electric current is said to exist.To define current more precisely, suppose that the charges are moving perpendicular to a surface
of area A, as shown in Figure 51. This area could be the cross-sectional area of a wire, for
example.
The electric current intensity I is the rate at which charge flowsthrough this surface. IfQ is the amount of charge that passesthrough this area in a time interval t, the average currentintensity IAV is equal to the charge that passes through A per unit
time:
IAV = Q/ t (81)
If the rate at which charge flows varies in time, then the currentvaries in time; we define the instantaneous current intensity I as
the differential limit of average current:
I =t 0
Q dQlim
t dt
=
(82)
The SI unit of electric current intensity is the ampre (A):1 A = 1 C/1 s. That is, 1 A of current is equivalent to 1 C of charge passing through the surface
area in 1 s.
If the ends of a conducting wire are connected to form a loop, all points on the loop are at thesame electric potential, and hence the electric field is zero within and at the surface of the
conductor. Because the electric field is zero, there is no net transport of charge through the wire,
and therefore there is no current.
If the ends of the conducting wire are connected to a battery, all points on the loop are not atthe same potential. The battery sets up a potential difference between the ends of the loop,
creating an electric field within the wire. The electric field exerts forces on the electrons in the
wire, causing them to move around the loop and thus creating a current. It is common to refer to
a moving charge (positive or negative) as a mobile charge carrier. For example, the mobile
charge carriers in a metal are electrons.
Current direction
The charges passing through the surface, as shown in Figure 51, can be positive or negative, orboth. It is conventional to assign the current direction the same direction as the flow of
positive charge. In electrical conductors, such as copper or aluminum, the current is due to the
motion of negatively charged electrons. Therefore, when we speak of current in an ordinaryconductor, the direction of the current is opposite to that of flow of electrons. However, if we are
considering a beam of positively charged protons in an accelerator, the current is in the direction
of motion of the protons. In some cases - such as those involving gases and electrolytes, for
instance - the current is the result of the flow of both positive and negative charges.
An electric current can be represented by an arrow. The sense of the current arrow is definedas follows:
If the current is due to the motion of positive charges, the current arrow is parallel to the
charge velocity.

Figure 52: Depicting the
electric current density.
If the current is due to the motion of negative charges, the current arrow is antiparallel to
the charge velocity.
2. Electric current density
Electric current densityJG
isa vector quantity whose magnitude is the ratio of the magnitude of
electric current flowing in a conductor to the cross-sectional area perpendicular to the current
flow and whose direction points in the direction of the current.
In other words, JG
is a vector quantity, and the scalar product of which with the cross-sectional
area vectorAG
is equal to the electric current intensity. By magnitude it is the electric current
intensity divided by the cross-sectional area.
If the current density is constant then
I = JG
.AG
(83)
(scalar product ofJG
and AG
).
If the current density is not constant, then
I = .J dAGG
(84)
where the current is in fact the integral of the dot product of the
current density vectorJG
and the differential surface element dAG
of the conductors cross-sectional area.
The SI unit of J is the ampre per square meter (A/m2).
Electric current density is important to the design of electricaland electronic systems. For example, in the domain of electrical
wiring (isolated copper), maximum current density can vary
from 4 A/mm2
for a wire isolated from free air to 6 A/mm2
for a
wire at free air.

passing through any cross section across the wires width.

4.3. Magnetic interaction - Ampres law
1. Magnetic interaction
Between two permanent magnets
There are no individual magnetic
poles(or magnetic charges).
Electric charges can
be separated, but magnetic poles
always come in pairs
- one north and one south.
Opposite poles (N and S)
attract and like
poles (N and N,
or S and S) repel.
These bar magnets will remain
"permanent"
until something
happens to eliminate
the alignment of
atomic magnets
in the bar of
iron, nickel,
or cobalt.

Between an electric currennt and a compass
The connection between electric current and
magnetic field was first observed when the
presence of a current in a wire near a magnetic
compass affected the direction of the compass
needle. We now know that current gives riseto magnetic fields, just as electric charge gave
rise to electric fields.

wire.
Magnetic force acting on a moving charge
A charged particle q when moving with velocity vG
in a magnetic field BG
experiences a
magnetic force FG
.
Experiments on various charged particles moving in a magnetic field give the followingresults:
The magnitude Fof the magnetic force exerted on the particle is proportional to the
charge magnitude |q| and to the speed v of the particle.
The magnitude and direction of FG
depend on the velocity vG
of the particle and
on the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field B
G
.
When a charged particle moves parallel to the magnetic field vector, the magnetic
force acting on the particle is zero.
When the particles velocity vector vG
makes any angle 0 with the magneticfield B
G, the magnetic force F
Gacts in a direction perpendicular to both v
Gand B
G; that
is, FG
is perpendicular to the plane formed by vG
and BG
(see Figure 55).

Mathematiclly the force FG
is given by
F qv x B=G GG
(85)
where the direction of FG
is in the direction ofGG
v x B ifq is positive, which by definition of the
cross product is perpendicular to both vG
and BG
.
We can regard equation (85) as an operational definition of the magnetic field at some point inspace.
The magnitude of the magnetic force is
F = |q|vB sin (86)
where is the smaller angle between vG
and BG
. From this expression, we see that Fis zero when
vG
is parallel or antiparallel to BG
( = 0 or 180) and maximum, Fmax = |q|vB, when vG
is
perpendicular to BG
( = 90).
The direction of the cross product can
be obtained by using a right-hand rule:
the index fingerof the right hand points
in the direction of the first vector ( vG
) in
the cross product, then adjust your wrist
so that you can bend the rest fingers
toward the direction of the second
vector (BG
); extend the thumb to get the
direction of the magnetic force.
Figure 55: Magnetic force acting on a moving charge.
MOTION OF A CHARGED PARTICLE IN A UNIFORM MAGNETIC FIELD
We previously found that the magnetic force acting on a charged particle moving in amagnetic field is perpendicular to the velocity of the particle, and consequently the work done
on the particle by the magnetic force is zero.

Let us now consider the special case of a positively charged particle moving in a uniformmagnetic field with the initial velocity vector of the particle perpendicular to the field. Let us
assume that the direction of the magnetic field is into the page. Figure 56 shows that the particle
moves in a circle in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field.
The particle moves in this way because the magnetic force FG
is at right angles to both vG
and
BG
and has a constant magnitude qvB (sin = 1). As the force deflects the particle, the directionsof vG and FG change continuously, as shown in Figure 56.
Because FG
always points toward the center of the circle, it changes only the direction of vG
and not its magnitude. As Figure 56 illustrates, the rotation is counterclockwise for a positive
charge. Ifq were negative, the rotation would be clockwise.
Consequently, a charged particlemoving in a plane perpendicular to a
magnetic field will
move in a circular orbit with the
magnetic force playing the role
of centripetal force. The direction of theforce is given by the right-hand rule.
Equating the centripetal force with themagnetic force and solving for R the
radius of the circular path, we get
mv2/R = |q|vB and
R = mv/|q|B (87)
Figure 56: Motion of a charged particle in a constant
magnetic field.
Example: (a) A proton is moving in a circular orbit of radius 14 cm in a uniform 0.35-T
magnetic field perpendicular to the velocity of the proton. Find the linear speed of the proton.(Ans. v = 4.7 x 10
6m/s)
(b) If an electron moves in a direction perpendicular to the same magnetic field with
this same linear speed, what is the radius of its circular orbit? (Ans. R = 7.6 x 10-5
m)
MAGNETIC FORCE ACTING ON A CURRENT-CARRYING CONDUCTOR
If a magnetic force is exerted on a single charged particle when the particle moves in amagnetic field, it follows that a current-carrying wire also experiences a force when placed in a
-

Physic 1 Module 4: Electricity and magnetism 13
magnetic field. This follows from the fact that the current is a collection of many charged
particles in motion; hence, the resultant force exerted by the field on the wire is the vector sum
of the individual forces exerted on all the charged particles making up the current.
Similar to the force on a movingcharge in a B
Gfield, we have
for a conductor of length l carrying a
current of intensity I in a BG
field the
force experienced by the conductor:
F I l x B=GG G
(88)
where I = JG
.AG
, according to
equation (83).

Consider two long, straight, parallel wires separated by a distance a and carrying currents I1and I2 in the same direction, as illustrated by Figure 58. We can determine the force exerted on
one wire due to the magnetic field set up by the other wire. Wire 1, which carries a current I1,
creates a magnetic field1
BG
at the location of wire 2. The direction of1
BG
is perpendicular to wire
2, as shown in Figure 58. According to equation (88), the magnetic force on a length l of wire 2
is21 2 1
F I l x B=GG G
. Because lG
is perpendicular to1
BG
in this situation, the magnitude of21
FG
is
F21 = I2 l B1. Since the magnitude of 1BG is given by B1 =

2Ia

F21 = I2 l (0 1

(89)
The direction of 21FG
is toward wire 1 because lG
x1
BG
is in that direction. If the field set up at
wire 1 by wire 2 is calculated, the force12
FG
acting on wire 1 is found to be equal in magnitude
and opposite in direction to21
FG
. This is what we expect because Newtons third law must be
obeyed.
When the currents are in opposite directions (that is, when one of the currents is reversed inFig 56), the forces are reversed and the wires repel each other. Hence, we find thatparallel
straight conductors carrying currents in the same direction attract each other, and parallel
straight conductors carrying currents in opposite directions repel each other.
Because the magnitudes of the forces are the same on both wires, we denote the magnitude ofthe magnetic force between the wires as simply FB. We can rewrite this magnitude in terms of
the magnetic force per unit length:

The SI unit ofFB is the newton (N), and that ofFB/l is the newton per meter (N/m).
2.Ampres law
The magnetic field in space around an electric current is proportional to the electric currentwhich serves as its source, just as the electric field in space is proportional to the charge whichserves as its source. Ampres law states that for any closed loop path, the sum of the lengthelements times the magnetic field in the direction of the length element is equal to the
permeability times the electric current enclosed in the loop (as expressed by equation 91).

Oersteds 1819 discovery about deflected compass needles demonstrates that a current-carrying conductor produces a magnetic field. Figure 59a shows how this effect can bedemonstrated in the classroom. Several compass needles are placed in a horizontal plane near along vertical wire. When no current is present in the wire, all the needles point in the samedirection (that of the Earths magnetic field), as expected.
When the wire carries a strong, steady current, the needles all deflect in a direction tangent to
the circle, as shown in Figure 59b. These observations demonstrate that the direction of themagnetic field produced by the current in the wire is consistent with the right-hand ruledescribed in Figure 30.3 (see Hallidays book, page 941).
When the current is reversed, the needles in Figure 59b also reverse. Because the compassneedles point in the direction ofB
G, we conclude that the lines ofB
Gform circles around the
wire, as discussed in the preceding section. By symmetry, the magnitude ofBG
is the sameeverywhere on a circular path centered on the wire and lying in a plane perpendicular to thewire. By varying the current intensity and distance a from the wire, we find thatB isproportional to the current intensity and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire, asdescribed by the following equation
B = 02

(92)
Now let us evaluate the dot product BG
. d sG
for a small length element ds on the circular path
defined by the compass needles (see Figure 59b) and sum the products for all elements over the
closed circular path. Along this path, the vectors d sG
and BG
are parallel at each point (see Fig.
59b), soBG
. d sG
=B ds. Furthermore, the magnitudeB is constant on this circle and is given by
equation (92). Therefore, the sum of the products BG

over the closed path, which is
equivalent to the line integral ofBG

, is

where 2ds a=v is the circumference of the circular path. Although this result was calculatedfor the special case of a circular path surrounding a wire, it holds for a closed path ofany shape

As a result, the general case, known as Ampres law, can be also stated as follows:The line integral ofB

Ampres law describes the creation of magnetic fields by all continuous currentconfigurations, but at our mathematical level it is useful only for calculating the magnetic field
of current configurations having a high degree of symmetry.

Applications of Ampres law
1.Magnetic field created by an infinitely long straight wire carrying an electric
current
The magnetic field lines around a long wire which carries an electric current form concentriccircles around the wire. The direction of the magnetic field is perpendicular to the wire and is in
the direction the fingers of your right hand would curl if you wrapped them around the wire withyour thumb in the direction of the current (see Figure 58).
The magnitude of the magnetic field vectorBG
produced by a current-carrying straight wire
depends on the intensity of the current. It is also inversely proportional to the distance from the
wire, as given by equation (92).
Figure 59: (a) When no current is present in the wire, all
compass needles point in the same direction (toward the
Earths north pole).
(b) When the wire carries a strong current, the compass
needles deflect in a direction tangent to the circle, which is the
direction of the magnetic field created by the current.

Magnetic field created by an infinitely long straight wire carrying an

The magnetic field of an infinitely longstraight wire can be obtained by applying
Ampere's law. The expression for the

2.Magnetic field created by a long straight coil of wire (solenoid)carrying an
electric current
A long straight coil of wire can be used to generate a nearly uniform magnetic field similar tothat of a bar magnet. Such coils, called solenoids, have an enormous number of practical
applications. The field can be greatly strengthened by the addition of an iron core. Such cores
are typical in electromagnets.

In equation (95) for the magnetic field BG
inside a solenoid carrying an electric current, n is the
number of turns per unit length, sometimes called the "turns density". The expression is an
idealization to an infinite length solenoid, but provides a good approximation to the field of a
long solenoid.

Taking a rectangular path about which to evaluate Ampere's law such thatthe length of the side parallel to the solenoid field is Lgives a contribution BL
inside the coil. The field is essentially perpendicular to the sides of the path,
giving negligible contribution. If the end is taken so far from the coil that the
field is negligible, then the length inside the coil is the dominant contribution.
This admittedlyidealized case for
Ampres lawgives
This turns out to be agood approximation for
the solenoid field,
particularly in the case
of an iron core solenoid.

3. Magnetic field created by a toroid carrying an electric current
A device called a toroid(see Figure 62) is often used to create a magnetic field with almostuniform magnitude in some enclosed area. The device consists of a conducting wire wrapped
around a ring (a torus) made of a nonconducting material. For a toroid havingNclosely spaced
turns of wire, we calculate the magnetic field in the region occupied by the torus, a distance r
from the center.
To calculate this field, we must evaluate .G G
vB ds over the circle of radius r, as shownin Figure
62. By symmetry, we see that the magnitude of the field is constant on this circle and tangent to
it, so BG
. d sG
= B ds. Furthermore, note that the circular closed path surroundsNloops of wire,
each of which carries a currentI. Therefore, the right side of equation (93) is 0NIin this case.
Ampres law applied to the circle gives

(96)
This result shows thatB varies as 1/rand hence is nonuniform in the region occupied by thetorus. However, ifris very large compared with the cross-sectional radius of the torus, then the
field is approximately uniform inside the torus.
For an ideal toroid, in which the turns are closely spaced, the external magnetic field is zero.This can be seen by noting that the net current passing through any circular path lying outside
the toroid (including the region of the hole in the doughnut) is zero. Therefore, from Ampres
law we find thatB = 0 in the regions exterior to the torus.
Finding the magnetic field inside atoroid is a good example of the power
of Ampres law. The current enclosed
by the dashed line is just the number of
loops times the current in each loop.
Amperes law then gives the magnetic
field by

4.4. Magnetic field intensity or magnetic field strength
There are two vectors namelyBG
and HG
characterizing a magnetic field. The vector field BG
is
known among electrical engineers as magnetic flux density ormagnetic induction, or simply
magnetic field, as used by physicists. The vector field HG
is known among electrical engineers as
the magnetic field intensity ormagnetic field strength and is also known among physicists as
auxiliary magnetic fieldormagnetizing field.

Figure 63: Depicting of the
magnetic.
The magnetic field BG
has the SI unit of teslas (T), equivalent to webers per square meter
(Wb/m). The vector field HG
is measured in amperes per meter (A/m) in the SI units. An older
unit of magnetic field strength is the oersted: 1 A/m = 0.01257 oersted.
The magnetic fields generated by currents and calculated from Ampere's law are characterizedby the magnetic field B
Gmeasured in teslas. However, when the generated fields pass through
magnetic materials which themselves contribute internal magnetic fields, ambiguities can ariseabout what part of the field comes from the external currents and what comes from the material
itself. It has been common practice to define another magnetic field quantity, usually called the
"magnetic field strength" and designated by HG
.
The commonly used form for the relationship between B and H is
B = H (97)
where is the permeability of the medium and given by
= Km0 (98)
0 being the magnetic permeability of free space and Km the relative permeability of the
material. If the material does not respond to the external magnetic field by producing any
magnetization, then Km = 1.
For paramagnetic ( > 0) and diamagnetic ( < 0) materials, the relative permeability is veryclose to 1. For ferromagnetic materials, is much greater than 0.
4.5. Electromagnetic induction
1.Magnetic flux
The magnetic flux, B, through an element of area perpendicular to the direction of magneticfield is given by the product of the magnetic field and the area element. More generally,
magnetic flux is defined by a scalar product of the magnetic field vector and the area element
vector. The SI unit of magnetic flux is the weber (Wb).
The magnetic flux through a surface is proportional to the number of magnetic field lines thatpass through the surface. This is the netnumber, i.e., the
number passing through in one direction minus the number
passing through in the opposite direction.
As illustrated by Figure 63, we divide the surface that hasthe loop as its border into small elements of area dA.For
each element we calculate the differential magnetic flux of
the magnetic field BG
through it:
dB = .B dAGG
= B.dA.cos (99)

2. Faradays law of induction
Faraday's experiments
These experiments helped formulate what is known as "Faraday's law of induction."
The circuit shown in the left panel of Figure 64 consists of a wire loop connected to asensitive ammeter (known as a "galvanometer"). If we approach the loop with a permanent
magnet, we see a current being registered by the galvanometer. The results can be summarized
as follows:
i. A current appears only if there is relative motion between the magnet and the loop.
ii. Faster motion results in a larger current intensity.
iii. Ifwe reverse the direction of motion or the polarity of the magnet, the current
reverses sign and flows in the
opposite direction.
The current generated is knownas "induced current"; the
electromotive force (emf) that
appears is known as "inducedemf"; the whole effect is called
"induction."
In the right panel of Figure 64,we show a second type of
experiment in which current is
induced in loop 2 when the switch
S in loop 1 is either closed or
opened. When the current in loop
1 is constant, no induced current
is observed in loop 2.
We see that the magnetic field in an induction experiment can be generated either by apermanent magnet or by an electric current in a coil.
Faraday summarized the results of his experiments in what is known asFaraday's law ofinduction.
An emf is induced in a loop when the number of magnetic field lines (or magnetic
flux) that pass through the loop is changing.

Figure 65: Depicting Lenzs law.
We can also express Faraday's law of induction in the following form:
The magnitude of the emf induced in a conductive loop is equal to the rate at which
the magnetic fluxB through the loop changes with time.
The corresponding formula is
= -B
d
dt
(101)
where is the induced emf.
If the circuit is a coil consisting ofNloops of the same area and ifBis the flux throughone loop, an emf is induced in every loop; thus, the total induced emf in the coil is given by the
expression
= -N Bd
dt
(102)
The negative sign in equations (101) and (102) is of important physical significance, as
described later.
The SI unif of emf is the volt (V).
Methods for changing the magnetic flux B through a loop
We see that the magnetic flux Bcan be changed and an emf is then induced in a circuit inseveral ways:
The magnitude ofBG
can change with time.
The area enclosed by the loop can change with time.
The angle between the magnetic field vectorBG
and the normal vector n to the loop
can change with time. Any combination of the above can be used.
Lenzs law
Faradays law of induction (equation 101 or equation 102) indicates that the induced emf andthe change in flux have opposite algebraic signs. This has a very real physical interpretation that
has come to be known as Lenzs law:
The polarity of the induced emf is such that it tends to produce a current that
creates a magnetic flux to oppose the change in magnetic flux through the area
enclosed by the current loop.
That is, the induced current tends to keep the original magnetic flux through the circuit fromchanging. This law is actually a consequence of the law of
conservation of energy.
We now concentrate on the negative sign in the equation thatexpresses Faraday's law. The direction of the flow of induced
current in a loop is accurately predicted by what is known as
Lenz's law (or Lenz's rule).

Figure 66: Depicting the
motional electromotive force.
Figure 67: Depicting the
self-induction.
To understand Lenzs law, we consider an example as shown in Figure 65. In the figure weshow a bar magnet approaching a loop. The induced current flows in the direction indicated
because this current generates an induced magnetic field that has the field lines pointing from
left to right. The loop is then equivalent to a magnet whose north pole faces the corresponding
north pole of the bar magnet that is approaching the loop. The loop then repels the approaching
magnet and thus opposes the change in the original magnetic flux that generated the induced
current.
Example: A coil consists of 200 turns of wire having a total resistance of 2.0 . Eachturn is a square of side 18 cm, and a uniform magnetic field directed perpendicular to the plane
of the coil is turned on. If the field changes linearly from 0 to 0.50 T in 0.80 s,
(a) what is the magnitude of the induced emf in the coil while the field is changing? and
(b) what is the magnitude (intensity) of the induced current in the coil while the field is
changing? (Ans. (a) || = 4.1 V; (b) I = ||/R = 2.05 A)
MOTIONAL ELECTROMOTIVE FORCE
In examples illustrated by Figure 63, we considered cases in which an emf is induced in astationary circuit placed in a magnetic field when the field changes with time. In this section we
describe what is called motional electromotive force, which is the emf induced in a straight
conductor moving through a constant magnetic field.
Consider a loop of width l shown in Figure 66. Part of the loop is located in a region where auniform magnetic field exists. The loop is being pulled outside the magnetic field region with
constant speed v. The magnetic flux through the loop is
B = Blx. This flux decreases with time; according toFaradays law, there is an induced emf given by
= - Bddt
= -Bl
dx
dt= -Blv (103)
Because the resistance of the circuitisR, the intensity (magnitude) of the
induced current in the loop is
I = || = Blv/R (104)
Self induction
If we change the current i through an inductor whose inductance is L,this causes a change in the magnetic flux B= Li through the inductoritself. Using Faraday's law we can determine the resulting emf known as
self-induced emfL

As the current intensity
increases toward its maximum
value, an emf that opposes the

in the inductor.

We have assumed that L is constant.
If the inductor is an ideal solenoid of cross-sectional area A with N turns, its inductance isgiven by
L = 0(N2/l)A = 0n
2Al (106)
where 0 is the permeability of free space, and n = N/l is the number of turns per unit length or
the turn density of the solenoid.
The permeability may be changed by putting a soft iron core into the solenoid, greatlyincreasing the inductance of the solenoid. In this case we must replace 0 by = Km0 where Km
is the relative permeability of the core; for iron Km is much greater than 1.
The SI unit of L isthe henry (H).
Example: (a) Calculate the inductance of an air-core solenoid containing 300 turns if the
length of the solenoid is 25.0 cm and its cross-sectional area is 4.0 cm2.
(b) Calculate the self-induced emf in the solenoid if the current through it is
decreasing at the rate of 50.0 A/s. (Ans. (a) 0.181 mH; (b) 9.05 mV)
4.6. Magnetic energy
1. Energy stored in a magnetic field
RL circuit
Consider a series RL circuit as shown in Figure 68. When theswitch S is closed, the current immediately starts to increase.
The induced emf (or back emf) in the inductor is large, as the
current is changing rapidly. As time goes on, the current
increases more slowly, and the potential difference across the
inductor decreases.
It takes energy to establish a current in an inductor; thisenergy is carried by the magnetic field inside the inductor.
Considering the emf needed to establish a particular currentand the power involved, we find:
As the current intensity through the coil increases, the magnetic field of the coil also
increases and electrical energy is stored in the coil as a magnetic field. The magnetic energy UB
stored in the coil is given by
UB =1
2LI
2(107)
-
7/30/2019 Module 4 Electricity
25/26
Physic 1 Module 4: Electricity and magnetism 25
In capacitors we found that energy is stored in the electric field between their plates. In
inductors, energy is similarly stored, only now in the magnetic field. Just as with capacitors,
where the electric field is created by a charge on the capacitor and electric energy is stored
inside the capacitors, we now have a magnetic field created when there is a current through the
inductor. Thus, just as with the capacitors, the magnetic energy is stored inside the inductor.
Again, although we introduce the magnetic field energy when talking about energy in
inductors, it is a generic concept whenever a magnetic field is created, it takes energy to do so,and that energy is stored in the field itself.
The SI unit of magnetic energy is the joule (J).
2. Magnetic energy density
For simplicity, consider an ideal solenoid whose inductance is given by
L = o(N2/l)A = on
2Al
The magnetic field inside a solenoid is given by B = onI. As a result I = B/on
Substituting the expressions for Land for I into equation (107) leads to
UB =2
02
B
Al (108)
Because Al = V is the volume of the solenoid, the energy stored per unit volume in themagnetic field orthe magnetic energy density, uB = UB/V,inside the inductor is
(109)
Although this expression was derived for the special case of a solenoid, it is valid for anyregion of space in which a magnetic field exists regardless of its source. From equation (109),
we see that magnetic energy density is proportional to the square of the square of the field
magnitude.
The SI unit of magnetic energy density is the joule per cubic meter (J/m3).
Example: The earths magnetic field in a certain region has the magnitude 6.0 x 10-5
T.
Find the magnetic energy density in this region. (Ans. 1.4 x 10-3 J/m3)
