A changing magnetic field creates an electric field A changing electric field creates a magnetic field Basis for electricity generation, transmission, most uses and applications
Complicated, but in essence: Electric fields and magnetic fields are one phenomena: an electromagnetic field United concepts of electricity and magnetism into 4 equations James Clerk Maxwell June 13,1831 – November 5, 1879
Faraday was a great researcher Intuitive knowledge about electricity and magnetism Performed many experiments which paved the way for an understanding of electromagnetism Primitive motor September 22, 1791 – August 25, 1867
Oersted made one of the first electricity/magnetism insights all because of a messy desk Current carrying wire caused compass needles to divert Oersted’s basic principle of electromagnetism: moving electric charges produce a magnetic field August 14,1777 – March 9, 1851
Current through a wire creates a circular magnetic field; weakens with distance Right Hand Rule 1: Point thumb in the direction of the current Make a fist Fingers show direction of magnetic field Magnitude of field: B is the magnetic field (T) I is the current (A) r is the distance from the wire (m)
Point your thumb in the direction of current flow Fingers wrap to show direction of the magnetic field
Point your thumb with the current Curl your fingers to determine the direction of the field
Permeability of free space 4π x Tm/A Physical constant Permeability relates the ability of the medium to induce a magnetic field Inductance
Current Coming out of the screen Going into the screen Meant to visualize an arrow
Add arrows to show the direction of the magnetic field
a) What is the strength of the magnetic field 15 cm away from a wire carrying 75 A? B = 1.0 x T b) At what distance is the strength of the magnetic field 1.5 x T? r = 1.0 m
a) How much current is a wire carrying if the magnetic field is measured to be 3.03 x T at meters away? I = 7580 A b) What is the strength of the magnetic field 1.50 m from the wire? B = 1.01 x10 -3 T

Current carrying wires experience a force in an external magnetic field Right Hand Rule 2: Make an L shape with your hand Thumb points in the direction of the current Fingers point in the direction of the magnetic field Palm shows the direction of the force Magnitude of the Force: B is the magnetic field (T) I is the current (A) l is the length of the wire (m) Θ is the angle between the magnetic field and the wire (not in the text)
What direction is the force on the wire? Solution: Into the screen
A 25cm wire in a motor carrying 15 A of current is in a magnetic field of 0.2T. What will be the force on the wire, assuming that the wire and magnetic field are perpendicular? F B = 0.08 N
What length of conductor, running at right angles to a T magnetic field and carrying a current of 20.0 A, will experience a force of 0.10N? I = 0.15 m
Magnetic fields exert a force on moving electrical charges, including charged particles What might the formula be?
An electron is shot through a cathode ray tube TV at 5.0 x 10 5 m/s, perpendicular to the direction of the field. If the force acting on the particle is 2.0 x N and the length of the tube is 10 cm, what is the strength of the magnetic field? B = T
An alpha particle (He 2+ ) is shot through a magnetic field at 3.33 x 10 6 m/s, perpendicular to the direction of the field. If the magnetic field strength is 1.5 x T, what is the magnitude of the force acting on the particle? F = 1.6 x N
