from the definition of a Coulomb and other standards, o= 4x10-7 N s2/C2 = 4x10-7 T m/A with o , the speed of light as a fundamental constant can be determined (in later chapters) from c2 = 1/(o o)
Consider: Two protons move in the x direction at a speed v. Calculate all the forces each exerts on the other. magnetic: F1 on 2 = q2v2xBat2due to 1 = q2v2x (k’ (q1v1xr12)/(r12)2) electric F1 on 2 = (k q1q2)/(r12)2 r12 ^ ^ v1 q1 Simple geometry (all 90 degree angles) Fmagnetic = k’|q2v2 q1v1|/ (r12)2 = k’ e2v2/r2 Felectric = k e2/r2 Fmagnetic /Felectric = k’ v2 /k = (o/4v2/ (1/4o = v2 /c2 but... depends upon frame? r12 ^ r12 F1 on 2 B v2

Magnetic Materials L Microscopic current loops: electron “orbits” L Microscopic current loops: electron “orbits” electron “spin” Quantum Effects: quantized L, Pauli Exclusion Principle important in macroscopic magnetic behaviour.
Magnetic Materials: Microscopic magnetic moments interact with an external (applied) magnetic field Bo and each other, producing additional contributions to the net magnetic field B. Magnetization M = tot/V B= Bo + o M linear approximation: M proportional to Bo o => = Km o = permeability m = Km-1 magnetic Susceptibility Types of Materials Diamagnetic: Magnetic field decreases in strength.
