Magnetism
• Fundamental force of nature
• Related to electricity, but not the same
4
Experimental Observations
• Magnetism does not move an electroscope, it
does not act on stationary charges
• Long range force (action over a distance)
• There are 2 poles, north and south, and they
come in pairs
• Like poles repel, unlike poles attract
• Poles attract magnetic materials
5
Magnetic Field lines
• Magnetic Fields around
a bar magnet
• Similar to an electric
dipole
• Start at north pole,
terminate at south pole
6
Like and unlike poles
Magnetic field lines between poles

Electric Currents and Magnetic
Fields
Oersted found that a current can move a
magnetic compass
8
Direction of Magnetic field
We use the right handed rule to find which
way a magnetic compass would point
9
Magnetic field near a loop
• Bend the wire into a loop.
• Dots - field is coming out of the page.
• Crosses - field is going in to the page
10
Field near a solenoid
• Many loops will concentrate the field inside
the coil
• Called a solenoid – contains a uniform
magnetic field
11
Magnetic field due to a current
Experimentally, the field strength, B, is proportional to
current, I, and inversely proportional to distance, r.
0 I
B
2r
Units of Tesla, where μ0 is the permeability
constant – 1.257x10-6 TmA-1
12
Tesla is a large unit
• Magnets in the lab – 0.1 to 1 T
• Kitchen magnets – 5x10-3 T
• Earths magnetic field – 5x10-5 T
• Superconducting magnets – in accelerators
and maglev trains – 10 T

For a solenoid with N turns, Length L and current I.
Note: independent of the coil radius. Field is uniform.

Magnetic Forces
• The magnetic fields
around two wires will
attract or repel, just like
bar magnets.
• A magnetic field exerts a
force on a current, or
moving charge
• Currents in the same
direction attract
• Opposite currents repel
17
Direction of Magnetic Force
• The force on a
wire with a
current is
perpendicular to
both the
magnetic field the
direction of the
current.
• We use another
right hand rule
18
Magnitude of the Magnetic Force
The force between a magnetic field and a
current along a wire length L perpendicular
to the field is:
F  ILB
19
Magnitude of the Magnetic Force
The force between a magnetic field and a current along
a wire length L at an angle, α to the field is:
F  ILB sin 
If the current and B field are parallel – there is no force.
20
Force on a moving charge
• A current, I, is a
moving charge.
• The charge q moves
along the wire length
L in time Δt
• The velocity will be
L/Δt
• We find that qv=IL

21
Magnitude of the Magnetic Force
The force between a magnetic field and a
charge, q, moving with a velocity, v
perpendicular to the field is:
F  qvB
22
Magnitude of the Magnetic Force
The force between a magnetic field and a charge, q,
moving at velocity, v, at an angle, α to the field is:
F  qvB sin 
If the moving charge and B field are parallel – there is no
force.
23
Direction of Magnetic Force
• The force on a moving
charge is
perpendicular to both
the magnetic field the
direction of the
charge.
• Note the thumb is now
the direction of the
+ve charge, instead of
the current I.
24
Path of charges in a magnetic field
• The force on a
charged particle in a
magnetic field is
perpendicular to its
direction of motion.
• We always get
circular or spiral
paths of charged
paths in a magnetic
field
25
Path of charges in a magnetic field
• Centripetal force of
an object in a circle

Mass spectrometer
• First
measurement of

electron
• Used to
distinguish
different types of
atoms and
isotopes
28
Aurora Borealis
• Solar wind from the sun
(protons & electrons)
gets deflected by Earth’s
magnetic field.
• Portion of velocity
perpendicular to the field
lines, curves the ionizing
particles into spirals
• Ionize O2 and N2 in the
ionosphere
29
Magnetic forces between currents
• Consider two wires
carrying currents I1 and
I2.
• The field at the top wire

Torques and Magnetic Moments
• Torque was defined in chapter 7
• Quantity to measure the force applied near a
pivot
• Useful for calculating rotational motion
32
Torque
Torque, τ, measures
the effectiveness of a
force at causing an
object to rotate about
a pivot
  rF sin 
33
Torque on a current loop in a B
field
• Current loop in a
uniform field
• The forces on the top
and bottom wires will
rotate the loop
34
Torque on a current loop in a B
field
• The total torque, τ, will
be the sum of the
torques on the top and
bottom wires.
• Loop height L, wire

35
Torque on a current loop in a B
field
•In general, the torque on
a loop area A will be:
  IAB sin 
The loop is forced to align with
the magnetic field
36
Using torque - MRIs
• Magnetic Resonance
Imaging (MRI) uses
the protons magnetic
moment in hydrogen
atoms in high 1T
fields.
• The rate of the emitted
radio waves from the
excited states are
detected
37
Using Torque – Electric motor
Using commutators, the loop can be made to
spin, to produce rotational movement
38
Permanent Magnets Ferromagnetism
• Ferromagnetism is a property of certain
elements – the ability to maintain a
permanent magnetic field
• Depends on the crystalline structure of the
metal
• Found in alloys of iron, cobalt, nickel,
gadolinium, dysprosium, europium
• Half full electron shells, the magnetic dipole of
the electrons can align
39
Periodic Table

Crystalline structure aligned
• The magnetic
dipoles are grouped
in micron size
crystals, domains
• The dipoles can be
aligned by applying
a magnetic field
• Can be destroyed
by heating (Curie
point) or dropping
41
Electromagnets
• An iron core near a
solenoid will align the
domains inside the iron
• This increases the
magnetic field (factor of

• Used to amplify the
magnetic field
