Introduction
• In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic field
• This force is experienced by any moving charge in a magnetic field

Introduction
• In applications where this interaction is used, the charges are moving through near vacuum so that relatively free motion can occur across that space (low electrical resistance)

8.1 FORCES ON A CHARGED PARTICLE IN A MAGNETIC FIELD
![Page 5: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Factors Affecting the Force
When a charged particle is in a magnetic field, the force on the charged particle depends on the following factors:
– The magnitude and direction of the velocity of the particle
– The magnitude and sign of the charge on the particle
– The magnetic field strength
![Page 6: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Factors Affecting the Force
• There is no interaction between a magnetic field and a stationary particle
• Stationary charges do not generate a magnetic field to interact with the magnetic field they are in
• The electric field created by the charged particle does not interact with the magnetic field
![Page 7: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
The force on a Charged Particle Moving in a Magnetic field
• An electric current is a flow of electric charges
• The magnitude of the current is defined as the rate of flow of electric charge:
I =
Where Δq is the charge and Δt is the time
![Page 8: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
The force on a Charged Particle Moving in a Magnetic field
• The rate of flow of charge is taken from a point:
e.g. if a current of 2A is flowing through a circuit, 2 coulombs of charge passes any point in the circuit each second
![Page 9: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The force on a Charged Particle Moving in a Magnetic field
• This idea can be extended to point charges:
– If one alpha particle (q = 3.2x10-19C) passes a point in one second, then the average current is 3.2x10-19A past that point
– If one alpha particle (q = 3.2x10-19C) passes a point in two seconds, then the average current is 1.6x10-19A past that point

The force on a Charged Particle Moving in a Magnetic field
• The force on a current carrying wire in a magnetic field from the formula:
F = IΔlB sinθ
• However to apply this to a charged particle, we need to consider how to define IΔl
![Page 11: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The force on a Charged Particle Moving in a Magnetic field
• As discussed before, current is given by:
Iavg =
• In this time, the particle has moved a distance of vt metres, this can be taken as the length, Δl, of the current element
![Page 12: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
The force on a Charged Particle Moving in a Magnetic field
• Substituting the expressions for current and element length gives:
![Page 13: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The force on a Charged Particle Moving in a Magnetic field
As with a current carrying wire in a magnetic field
– the force on a charge moving in a magnetic field is maximum when it is travelling perpendicular to the field
– the force in a charge moving parallel or anti-parallel to the field is zero
![Page 14: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The direction of the magnetic force
• The direction of magnetic force on a moving charge in a magnetic field can be found using the right-hand palm rule
• However, the thumb points in the direction of conventional current (positive charge flow)
• This means that the thumb points in the opposite direction to the motion of a negative charge

8.2MOTION AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE FIELD
![Page 17: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Motion at Directions other than 90° to the Magnetic Field
• Charged particles moving parallel to a magnetic field experience no magnetic force, and therefore move with constant velocity
• Motion at angles θ to the magnetic field are more complex and are not included in the syllabus
• Only charges moving perpendicular to the field are considered in this course
![Page 18: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Motion of Charged Particles at Right Angles to the Magnetic Field
• In the diagram shown, a charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field directed into the page
• Using the right hand rule, the force is acting towards the top of the page
![Page 20: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Motion of Charged Particles at Right Angles to the Magnetic Field
• As the particle changes direction, so does the direction of the magnetic force acting on it
• Since the magnetic force is always perpendicular to the velocity, the speed of the particle does not change
![Page 21: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Motion of Charged Particles at Right Angles to the Magnetic Field
• This motion is uniform circular motion
• Charged particles moving at right angles to a magnetic field always follow a circular path
![Page 22: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

8.3APPLICATION:THE CYCLOTRON
![Page 26: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Introduction
• The acceleration of charged particles to very high speeds, and hence very high energies, is essential in many fields
• It is particularly useful in atomic and nuclear physics, and in medical research, diagnosis and treatment
![Page 27: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Introduction
• The most obvious way to do this is to pass the charged particle though a potential difference
• Passing a proton through a potential difference of 1000V will result in a gain of 1000eV in kinetic energy
• However we often require energies of MeV (106 eV) to GeV (109 eV)
![Page 28: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Introduction
• We can accomplish higher energies by passing particles through a series of potential differences
• Passing an electron 100 times in succession through 1000V is equivalent to passing it through 100,000V
![Page 29: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Introduction
• To accelerate particles to energies in a linear accelerator to GeV energies requires a series of thousands of potential differences
• This is impractical due to the sheer size of accelerator needed
• Use of a cyclotron reduces the size of the accelerator considerably

Principles of Operation• The protons are accelerated towards the negatively
charged Dee
• Within the Dee they experience circular acceleration due to the magnetic field
![Page 34: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Principles of Operation
• The electric field does not exist in the Dees because they are effectively hollow conductors
![Page 35: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Principles of Operation
• When the proton leaves the Dee, the potential difference is reversed, accelerating the proton towards the other Dee
![Page 36: Chapter 8 Charges in Magnetic Fields. Introduction In the previous chapter it was observed that a current carrying wire observed a force when in a magnetic.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f565503460f94c7adcd/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Principles of Operation
• This process repeats many times, each time the proton is accelerated across the gap between the Dees, the radius gets larger
