APHY201 12/5/ Force between Two Parallel Wires Wire #1 has a magnetic field that produces a force on wire #2
APHY201 12/5/ Solenoids and Electromagnets The magnetic field of the coil can be increased by adding an iron core.
APHY201 12/5/ Torque on a Current Loop Torque = (Force)(Lever Arm) = NIAB sinθ
APHY201 12/5/ Applications
APHY201 12/5/ Mass Spectrometer Determine a particle’s mass Discovery of isotopes
APHY201 12/5/ Ferromagnetism Magnetic domains: groups of aligned atoms What do they look like? The motion of electrons in atoms: orbiting and “spinning” Most objects are non-magnetic since the electron motions are cancelled out by other electrons Magnetic permeability B = B o + B M
