Magnetic Fields

Page 2: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

Magnets• In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends

where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south

• Like (unlike) poles repel (attract) each other (similar to electric charges), and the force between two poles varies as the inverse square of the distance between them

• Magnetic poles cannot be isolated – if a permanent magnetic is cut in half, you will still have a north and a south pole (unlike electric charges)

• There is some theoretical basis for monopoles, but none have been detected

Magnets

• The poles received their names due to the way a magnet behaves in the Earth’s magnetic field

• If a bar magnet is suspended so that it can move freely, it will rotate

• The magnetic north pole points toward the Earth’s north geographic pole

• This means the Earth’s north geographic pole is a magnetic south pole

• Similarly, the Earth’s south geographic pole is a magnetic north pole

Magnets• An unmagnetized piece of iron can be magnetized by

stroking it with a magnet (like stroking an object to charge an object)

• Magnetism can be induced – if a piece of iron, for example, is placed near a strong permanent magnet, it will become magnetized

• Soft magnetic materials (such as iron) are easily magnetized and also tend to lose their magnetism easily

• Hard magnetic materials (such as cobalt and nickel) are difficult to magnetize and they tend to retain their magnetism

Page 5: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

Magnetic Fields

• The region of space surrounding a moving charge includes a magnetic field (the charge will also be surrounded by an electric field)

• A magnetic field surrounds a properly magnetized magnetic material

• A magnetic field is a vector quantity symbolized by B

• Its direction is given by the direction a north pole of a compass needle pointing in that location

• Magnetic field lines can be used to show how the field lines, as traced out by a compass, would look

Magnetic Field Lines

• A compass can be used to show the direction of the magnetic field lines

Page 7: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

Magnetic Field Lines• Iron filings can also be used

to show the pattern of the magnetic field lines

• The direction of the field is the direction a north pole would point

• Unlike poles (compare to the electric field produced by an electric dipole)

Magnetic Fields

• When moving through a magnetic field, a charged particle experiences a magnetic force

• This force has a maximum (zero) value when the charge moves perpendicularly to (along) the magnetic field lines

• Magnetic field is defined in terms of the magnetic force exerted on a test charge moving in the field with velocity v

• The SI unit: Tesla (T) sinqv

Magnetic Fields

• Conventional laboratory magnets: ~ 2.5 T

• Superconducting magnets ~ 30 T

• Earth’s magnetic field ~ 5 x 10-5 T

Direction of Magnetic Force

• Experiments show that the direction of the magnetic force is always perpendicular to both v and B

• Fmax occurs when v is perpendicular to B and F = 0 when v is parallel to B

• Right Hand Rule #1 (for a + charge): Place your fingers in the direction of v and curl the fingers in the direction of B – your thumb points in the direction of F

• If the charge is negative, the force points in the opposite direction

Direction of Magnetic Force

• The x’s indicate the magnetic field when it is directed into the page (the x represents the tail of the arrow)

• The dots would be used to represent the field directed out of the page (the • represents the head of the arrow)

Page 13: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

Differences Between Electric and Magnetic Fields

• The electric force acts along the direction of the electric field, whereas the magnetic force acts perpendicular to the magnetic field

• The electric force acts on a charged particle regardless of whether the particle is moving, while the magnetic force acts on a charged particle only when the particle is in motion

• The electric force does work in displacing a charged particle, whereas the magnetic force associated with a steady magnetic field does no work when a particle is displaced (because the force is perpendicular to the displacement)

Page 14: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

Force on a Charged Particle in a Magnetic Field

• Consider a particle moving in an external magnetic field so that its velocity is perpendicular to the field

• The force is always directed toward the center of the circular path

• The magnetic force causes a centripetal acceleration, changing the direction of the velocity of the particle

Magnetic Force on a Current Carrying Wire• The current is a collection of many charged

particles in motion

• The magnetic force is exerted on each moving charge in the wire

• The total force is the sum of all the magnetic forces on all the individual charges producing the current

• Therefore a force is exerted on a current-carrying wire placed in a magnetic field:

Biot-Savart Law

• Biot and Savart arrived at a mathematical expression that gives the magnetic field at some point in space due to a current

• The magnetic field is dB at some point P; the length element is ds; the wire is carrying a steady current of I

Biot-Savart Law

• Vector dB is perpendicular to both ds and to the unit vector directed from ds toward P

• The magnitude of dB is inversely proportional to r2, where r is the distance from ds to P

• The magnitude of dB is proportional to the current and to the magnitude ds of the length element

Page 25: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

Biot-Savart Law

• The magnitude of dB is proportional to sin where is the angle between the vectors ds and

• The observations are summarized in the mathematical equation called the Biot-Savart law (magnetic field due to the current-carrying conductor):

inverse square of the distance from the ds element

• The electric field due to a point charge also varies as the inverse square of the distance from the charge

• The electric field created by a point charge is radial in direction

moment of the coil

• Its magnitude is given by μ = IAN

• The vector always points perpendicular to the plane of the loop(s)

• The equation for the magnetic torque can be written as

τ = BIAN sinθ = μB sinθ

dipole in a magnetic field depends on the orientation of the dipole in the magnetic field

• Umin = – μB and occurs when the dipole moment is in the same direction as the field

A single-turn square wire loop 5.0 cm on a side carries a 450-mA current. (a) What’s the loop’s magnetic dipole moment? (b) If the loop is in a uniform 1.4-T magnetic field with its dipole moment vector at 40° to the field, what’s the magnitude of the torque it experiences?

Page 40: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

Electric Motor• An electric motor converts electrical energy to

mechanical energy (rotational kinetic energy)

• An electric motor consists of a rigid current-carrying loop that rotates when placed in a magnetic field

• The torque acting on the loop will tend to rotate the loop to smaller values of θ until the torque becomes 0 at θ = 0°

Page 41: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

Electric Motor• If the loop turns past this point and the current remains

in the same direction, the torque reverses and turns the loop in the opposite direction

• To provide continuous rotation in one direction, the current in the loop must periodically reverse

• In ac motors, this reversal naturally occurs

• In dc motors, a split-ring commutator and brushes are used

Page 42: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

Electric Motor• Just as the loop becomes perpendicular to the

magnetic field and the torque becomes 0, inertia carries the loop forward and the brushes cross the gaps in the ring, causing the current loop to reverse its direction

• This provides more torque to continue the rotation

• The process repeats itself

• Actual motors would contain many current loops and commutators

Magnetic Field of a Solenoid

Page 50: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

Magnetic Field of a Solenoid• If a long straight wire is bent into a coil of

several closely spaced loops, the resulting device is called a solenoid

• It is also known as an electromagnet since it acts like a magnet only when it carries a current

• The field inside the solenoid is nearly uniform and strong – the field lines are nearly parallel, uniformly spaced, and close together

• The exterior field is nonuniform, much weaker, and in the opposite direction to the field inside the solenoid

Page 51: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

Magnetic Field of a Solenoid• The field lines of the solenoid resemble

those of a bar magnet

• The magnitude of the field inside a solenoid is approximately constant at all points far from its ends

B = µo n I

• n = N / ℓ : the number of turns per unit length

• This result can be obtained by applying Ampère’s Law to the solenoid

Magnetic Effects of Electrons – Orbits • An individual atom should act like a magnet because of

the motion of the electrons about the nucleus

• Each electron circles the atom once in about every 10-16 seconds; this would produce a current of 1.6 mA and a magnetic field of about 20 T at the center of the circular path

• However, the magnetic field produced by one electron in an atom is often canceled by an oppositely revolving electron in the same atom

• The net result is that the magnetic effect produced by electrons orbiting the nucleus is either zero or very small for most materials

Page 54: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

Magnetic Effects of Electrons – Spins • Electrons also have spin (it is a

quantum effect)

• The classical model is to consider the electrons to spin like tops

• The field due to the spinning is generally stronger than the field due to the orbital motion

• Electrons usually pair up with their spins opposite each other, so their fields cancel each other, hence most materials are not naturally magnetic

Page 55: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

Magnetic Effects of Electrons – Domains • In some materials – ferromagnetic – the spins do not

naturally cancel

• Large groups of atoms in which the spins are aligned are called domains

• When an external field is applied, it causes the material to become magnetized: the domains that are aligned with the field tend to grow at the expense of the others

Page 56: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

Domains and Permanent Magnets• In hard magnetic materials, the domains remain

aligned after the external field is removed

• The result is a permanent magnet

• In soft magnetic materials, once the external field is removed, thermal agitation causes the materials to quickly return to an unmagnetized state

• With a core in a loop, the magnetic field is enhanced since the domains in the core material align, increasing the magnetic field

Page 57: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

Ferromagnetism

• Some substances exhibit strong magnetic effects called ferromagnetism (e.g., iron, cobalt, nickel, gadolinium, dysprosium)

• They contain permanent atomic magnetic moments that tend to align parallel to each other even in a weak external magnetic field

Page 58: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

Paramagnetism

• Paramagnetic substances have small but positive magnetism, which results from the presence of atoms that have permanent magnetic moments

• These moments interact weakly with each other

• When placed in an external magnetic field, atomic moments tend to line up with the field and the alignment process competes with thermal motion which randomizes the moment orientations

Page 59: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

Diamagnetism

• When an external magnetic field is applied to a diamagnetic substance, a weak magnetic moment is induced in the direction opposite the applied field

• Diamagnetic substances are weakly repelled by a magnet

Earth’s Magnetic Field

• The Earth’s geographic north (south) pole corresponds to a magnetic south (north) pole – a north (south) pole should be a “north- (south-) seeking” pole

• The Earth’s magnetic field resembles that achieved by burying a huge bar magnet deep in the Earth’s interior

• The most likely source of the Earth’s magnetic field – electric currents in the liquid part of the core

Page 61: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

Earth’s Magnetic Field

• The magnetic and geographic poles are not in the same exact location – magnetic declination is the difference between true north (geographic north pole) and magnetic north pole

• The amount of declination varies by location on the earth’s surface

• The direction of the Earth’s magnetic field reverses every few million years (the origin of these reversals is not understood)

Page 62: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

Earth’s Magnetic Field

• If a compass is free to rotate vertically as well as horizontally, it points to the earth’s surface

• The angle between the horizontal and the direction of the magnetic field is called the dip angle

• The farther north the device is moved, the farther from horizontal the compass needle would be

• The compass needle would be horizontal at the equator and the dip angle would be 0°

• The compass needle would point straight down at the south magnetic pole and the dip angle would be 90°

Magnetic Flux• Magnetic flux associated with a magnetic field is

defined in a way similar to electric flux

• SI unit of flux: Weber

• Wb = T. m²

Wilhelm Eduard Weber1804 – 1891

Page 64: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

• For a flat surface with an area A in a uniform magnetic field, the flux is (θ is the angle between B and the normal to the plane):

ΦB = BA = B A cos θ

• When the field is perpendicular to the plane, θ = 0 and ΦB = ΦB, max = BA

• When the field is parallel to the plane, θ = 90° and ΦB = 0

• The flux can be negative, for example if θ = 180°

Magnetic Flux

Page 65: Chapter 26 Magnetic Fields. Magnets In each magnet there are two poles present (the ends where objects are most strongly attracted): north and south Like

• The value of the magnetic flux is proportional to the total number of magnetic field lines passing through area

• When the area is perpendicular to the lines, the maximum number of lines pass through the area and the flux is a maximum

• When the area is parallel to the lines, no lines pass through the area and the flux is 0

Magnetic Flux

• Magnetic fields do not begin or end at any point

• The number of lines entering a surface equals the number of lines leaving the surface

• Gauss’ law in magnetism says the magnetic flux through any closed surface is always zero:
