7. Neumann Formula for Mutual Inductance7

8. Neumann Formula for Mutual Inductance
The Neumann formula for mutual inductance tells us that
L12 = L21
the mutual inductance depends only on the geometry of the conductors and not on the current 8

9. Self Inductance
Self inductance is a special case of mutual inductance.
The self inductance of a circuit is the ratio of the self magnetic flux linkage to the current producing it: 9

 A complete understanding of these atomic mechanisms requires application of quantum mechanics. 14

15. Current Loops (Magnetic Dipoles) in Atoms
In the absence of an applied magnetic field, the infinitesimal magnetic dipoles in most materials are randomly oriented, giving a net macroscopic magnetization of zero.
When an external magnetic field is applied, the magnetic dipoles have a tendency to align themselves with the applied magnetic field. 15

16. Magnetized Materials
A material is said to be magnetized when induced magnetic dipoles are present.
The presence of the induced magnetic dipoles modifies the magnetic field both inside and outside of the magnetized material. 16

17. Permanent Magnets
Most materials lose their magnetization when the external magnetic field is removed.
A material that remains magnetized in the absence of an applied magnetic field is called a permanent magnet. 17

18. Magnetization Vector
The magnetization or net magnetic dipole moment per unit volume is given by
average magnetic dipole moment [Am2]
Number of dipoles per unit volume [m-3]
[A/m] 18

19. Magnetic Materials
The effect of an applied electric field on a magnetic material is to create a net magnetic dipole moment per unit volume M.
The dipole moment distribution sets up induced secondary fields:
Field due to induced magnetic dipoles
Total field
Field in free space due to sources 19

20. Volume and Surface Magnetization Currents
A magnetized material may be represented as an equivalent volume (Jm) and surface (Jsm) magnetization currents.
These charge distributions are related to the magnetization vector by 20

21. Volume and Surface Magnetization Currents
Magnetization currents are equivalent currents that account for the effect of the magnetized material, and are analogous to equivalent volume and surface polarization charge densities in a polarized dielectric.
If the magnetization vector is constant throughout a magnetized material, then the volume magnetization current density is zero, but the surface magnetization current is nonzero. 21

26. Permeability Concept Assuming that we have
The parameter m is the permeability of the material. 26

27. Permeability Concept
The concepts of magnetization and magnetic dipole moment distribution are introduced to relate microscopic phenomena to the macroscopic fields.
The introduction of permeability eliminates the need for us to explicitly consider microscopic effects.
Knowing the permeability of a magnetic material tells us all we need to know from the point of view of macroscopic electromagnetics. 27

28. Relative Permeability
The relative permeability of a magnetic material is the ratio of the permeability of the magnetic material to the permeability of free space 28

29. Diamagnetic Materials
In the absence of applied magnetic field, each atom has net zero magnetic dipole moment.
In the presence of an applied magnetic field, the angular velocities of the electronic orbits are changed.
These induced magnetic dipole moments align themselves opposite to the applied field.
Thus, m < 0 and mr < 1. 29

30. Diamagnetic Materials
Usually, diamagnetism is a very miniscule effect in natural materials - that is mr  1.
Diamagnetism can be a big effect in superconductors and in artificial materials.
Diamagnetic materials are repelled from either pole of a magnet. 30

31. Paramagnetic Materials
In the absence of applied magnetic field, each atom has net non-zero (but weak) magnetic dipole moment. These magnetic dipoles moments are randomly oriented so that the net macroscopic magnetization is zero.
In the presence of an applied magnetic field, the magnetic dipoles align themselves with the applied field so that m > 0 and mr > 1. 31

32. Paramagnetic Materials
Usually, paramagnetism is a very miniscule effect in natural materials - that is mr  1.
Paramagnetic materials are (weakly) attracted to either pole of a magnet. 32

33. Ferromagnetic Materials
Ferromagnetic materials include iron, nickel and cobalt and compounds containing these elements.
In the absence of applied magnetic field, each atom has very strong magnetic dipole moments due to uncompensated electron spins.
Regions of many atoms with aligned dipole moments called domains form.
In the absence of applied magnetic field, the domains are randomly oriented so that the net macroscopic magnetization is zero. 33

34. Ferromagnetic Materials
In the presence of an applied magnetic field, the domains align themselves with the applied field.
The effect is a very strong one with m >> 0 and mr >> 1.
Ferromagnetic materials are strongly attracted to either pole of a magnet. 34

35. Ferromagnetic Materials
In ferromagnetic materials:
the permeability is much larger than the permeability of free space
the permeability is very non-linear
the permeability depends on the previous history of the material 35

36. Ferromagnetic Materials
In ferromagnetic materials, the relationship B = mH can be illustrated by means of a magnetization curve (also called hysteresis loop). B H
remanence
(retentivity)
coercivity 36

37. Ferromagnetic Materials
Remanence (retentivity) is the value of B when H is zero.
Coercivity is the value of H when B is zero.
The hysteresis phenomenon can be used to distinguish between two states. 37

38. Antiferromagnetic Materials
Antiferromagnetic materials include chromium and manganese.
In antiferromagnetic materials, the magnetic moments of individual atoms are strong, but adjacent atoms align in opposite directions.
The macroscopic magnetization of the material is negligible even in the presence of an applied field. 38

39. Ferrimagnetic Materials
Ferrimagnetic materials include oxides of iron, nickel, or cobalt.
The magnetic moments of adjacent atoms are aligned opposite to each other, but there is incomplete cancellation of the moments because they are not equal.
Thus, there is a net magnetic moment within a domain. 39

40. Ferrimagnetic Materials
In the absence of applied magnetic field, the domains are randomly oriented so that the net macroscopic magnetization is zero.
In the presence of an applied magnetic field, the domains align themselves with the applied field.
The magnetic effects are weaker than in ferromagnetic materials, but are still substantial. 40

41. Ferrites Ferrites are the most useful ferrimagnetic materials.
Ferrites are ceramic material containing compounds of iron.
Ferrites are non-conducting magnetic media so eddy current and ohmic losses are less than for ferromagnetic materials.
Ferrites are often used as transformer cores at radio frequencies (RF). 41

44. Fundamental Laws of Magnetostatics
The integral forms of the fundamental laws are more general because they apply over regions of space. The differential forms are only valid at a point.
From the integral forms of the fundamental laws both the differential equations governing the field within a medium and the boundary conditions at the interface between two media can be derived. 44

45. Boundary Conditions
Within a homogeneous medium, there are no abrupt changes in H or B. However, at the interface between two different media (having two different values of m), it is obvious that one or both of these must change abruptly. 45

46. Boundary Conditions
The normal component of a solenoidal vector field is continuous across a material interface:
The tangential component of a conservative vector field is continuous across a material interface: 46

47. Boundary Conditions
The tangential component of H is continuous across a material interface, unless a surface current exists at the interface.
When a surface current exists at the interface, the BC becomes 47

48. Boundary Conditions
In a perfect conductor, both the electric and magnetic fields must vanish in its interior. Thus,
a surface current must exist
the magnetic field just outside the perfect conductor must be tangential to it. 48

49. Overview of Magnetic Forces and Torques
The experimental basis of magnetostatics is the fact that current carrying wires exert forces on one another as described by Ampere’s law of force.
A number of devices are based on the forces and torques produced by static magnetic fields including DC electric motors and electrical instruments such as voltmeters and ammeters. 49

52. Lorentz Force Equation
The Lorentz force equation can be used to obtain the equations of motion for charged particles in various devices including cathode ray tubes (CRTs), microwave klystrons and magnetrons, and cyclotrons.
The Lorentz force equation also explains the Hall effect in conductors and semiconductors. 52
