MAGNETISM




Magnetic Fields are always dipolar: N and S poles
law of magnetism: like poles repel, unlike poles
attract
magnetic force is directly proportional to the
magnets’ strength, inversely proportional to the
square of the distance between the magnets
only certain materials can be magnetized –
ferromagnetic materials (Fe,Co,Ni
ores/alloys)
MAGNETISM

Magnets
are always
dipoles:
northseeking N
pole,
southseeking S

magnetic field: region of
magnetic force
 detect using a
compass (needle
points in field
direction)

field runs N to S
outside magnet,
S to N inside
magnet

magnetic field strength, B: strength of
the magnetic field, in Tesla, T
earth’s magnetic field at the surface = 0.5

MAGNETISM

Source of Magnetism

electrons are magnetic due to “spin”
 paired electrons: opposite “spin”, cancel
out
 occurs in most materials
 unpaired electrons  magnetic atoms
 occurs in ferromagnetic materials

ELECTROMAGNETISM

Field Around A Wire: a
current (moving charge)
produces a magnetic
field encircling the wire

right hand rule: grasp
conductor in right hand,
with thumb pointing in I
direction; fingers will
circle wire in B direction
ELECTROMAGNETISM

magnetic field strength around a wire
depends on amount of current in wire,
& distance from wire

B=m0I/2pr
B: magnetic field strength (T)
I: current in wire (A)
r: distance from wire (m)
m0=4p×10-7 Tm/A
ELECTROMAGNETISM

Field Around A
Solenoid (coil)



like bar magnet when carrying
current
add iron core: electromagnet
(much stronger field)
solenoid field strength, B=m0nI
n = #loops/length of coil
ELECTROMAGNETISM


right hand rule for
solenoids: grasp coil in
right hand, with fingers
circling coil in I direction;
thumb will point to N pole
core is pulled into solenoid
when turned on (striker,
switch)
ELECTROMAGNETISM

parallel wires exert forces on
each other due to their
magnetic fields


currents in same direction –
wires attract
currents in opposite direction –
wires repel

ELECTROMAGNETIC
INDUCTION

Electromagnetic Induction: a voltage
(and a current) is induced in a wire
when it moves in a magnetic field

induced voltage V = BLv
V: potential difference between ends of wire
(V)
 L: wire length inside field (m)
 v: wire speed (m/s)
 induced current I = V/R

ELECTROMAGNETIC
INDUCTION

Generators: spinning a coil in a B field
induces current in the coil
Green
wire
voltage
ELECTROMAGNETIC
INDUCTION

generator current is
alternating current
(AC)
 frequency: current
cycles/sec (Hz) = coil
rotation rate
 DC generator: coil
connects to
commutator, which
switches external
ELECTROMAGNETIC
INDUCTION

Lenz’s Law: an induced current
generates a magnetic field which
opposes the change that induced it
mechanical energy must go in to get
electrical energy out
 ex: The Drop Zone - magnets on cars
move past metal fins; current is induced in
fins which takes energy from the cars,
slowing them down
