Magnetic Fields
• We saw last lecture that some substances, particularly iron possess a property we call magnetism that exertsiron, possess a property we call magnetism that exerts forces on other magnetic materialsW l th t i l ti h ( ti• We also saw that single magnetic charges (magnetic monopoles) did not existW h i fi ld h b i fili• We saw that magnetic fields, shown up by iron filings look similar to electric dipole fields
• Also that magnetic fields seem to be associated with moving charges
• What is this "magnetic force"? How is it related to and distinguished from the "electric" force?

Motion of a Charge in a Magnetic FieldThe ’s represent field lines pointing into the page. A positively charged particle of massThe s represent field lines pointing into the page. A positively charged particle of mass m and charge q is shot to the right with speed v. By the right hand rule the magnetic force on it is up. Since v is to B, F = FB = q v B. Because F is to v, it has no tangential component; it is entirely B q , g p ; ycentripetal. Thus F causes a centripetal acceleration. As the particle turns so do v and F, and if B is uniform the particle moves in a circle. This is the basic idea behind a particle accelerator like Fermilab. Since F is a centripetal force, F = FC = m v2 / R. Let’s see how Cspeed, mass, charge, field strength, and radius of curvature are related:

Current along with a magnetic field can produce torque. This is the basic idea behind an electric motor. Above is a wire loop (purple) carrying a current provided by some power source like a battery. The current loop is submerged in an external field. From F = ILB, the force vectors in black are perpendicular to their wire segments. The net force on the loop is zero, but the net torque about the center is nonzero. The forces on the left and right wires produce
i h i f h ( h i i h h ) hno torque since the moment arm is zero for each (they point right at the center). However, the force F on the top wire (in the background) has a moment arm d, so it produces a torque Fd. The bottom wire (in the foreground) produces the same torque. These torques work t th t t t th l ti l t i l i t h i l

Electric Motor (cont.)As the loop turns it eventually reaches a vertical position (the plane of the loop parallel to the field). This is when the moment arms of the forces on the top and bottom wires are the longest so this isthe forces on the top and bottom wires are the longest, so this is where the torque is at a max. 90° later the loop will be perpendicular to the field. Here all moment arms and all torques are zero. This is the equilibrium point. The angular momentum of the loop, however, will allow it to swing right through this position.
Now is when the current must change direction, otherwise the torques will attempt to bring the loop back to the equilibrium. This would amount to simple harmonic motion of the loop which is notwould amount to simple harmonic motion of the loop, which is not particularly useful. If the current changes direction every time the loop reach equilibrium, the loop will spin around in the same p q , p pdirection indefinitely. Although a battery only pumps current in one direction, the change in direction of current can be accomplished ith h l f t t

Electromagnets: Straight WirePermanent magnets aren’t the only things that produce magnetic fields. Moving chargesPermanent magnets aren t the only things that produce magnetic fields. Moving charges themselves produce magnetic fields. We just saw that a current carrying wire feels a force when inside an external magnetic field. It also produces its own magnetic field. A long straight wire produces circular field lines centered on the wire. To find the direction of the g pfield, we use another right hand rule: point your thumb in the direction of the current; the way your fingers of your right hand wrap is the direction of the magnetic field. Bdiminishes with distance from the wire. The pics at the right show cross sections of a current carrying wire.
