Do Now – Get together in groups to discuss your power station and start on the powerpoint / paper for uploading.
Until 11:00 when we will transition to lesson for magnetism.

2. Objectives/Agenda/Assignment
Ch 5.4 Magnetism
Assignment: p241 #37-46
Agenda:
Sources of magnetism
Magnetic field due to a wire
Magnetic flux density
Right hand rule for force
Magnetic force on current carrying wire
Force between two current carrying wires

3. Magnetism Another fundamental property of matter.
Demonstrated by electrons and protons.
Has a polarity – a north and south pole, a direction
Exists as a field – a directional vector field
Sources include
Particles
Bar magnets
Current carrying wires and solenoids (coiled cylinder of wire)

4. Magnetic fields around sources

5. Direction of magnetic field
Fixed: From south to north
Current in wire: Right hand grip rule – Thumb points in direction of current, fingers curl around wire in direction of circular magnetic field
Solenoid: Right hand grip rule – Fingers curl in direction of wire current around the solenoid, thumb points in direction of the magnetic field
Can be determined in lab using a simple compass.

6. Magnetic Force
Magnetic fields produce a force on moving charges.
F = qvBsin Where q is the charge, v is the speed of the charge, B is the magnetic flux density, and  is the angle between the direction of the charge and the direction of the magnetic field.
Magnetic flux density – measures the strength of a magnetic field.
Symbol: B
Unit: Tesla, T A 1 T magnetic flux density produces a 1 N force on a 1 C charge moving at 1 m/s at right angles to the field.

7. Direction of the magnetic force
The Right Hand Rule: 3 equivalent versions:
Flat hand
Thumb =charge velocity, Fingers = mag. field, Palm = force
Perpendicular 3 fingers
Thumb = charge velocity, First = mag. Field, Middle = force
Finger curl motion
Fingers point = charge velocity, Palm/Curl fingers = mag.field, Thumb = force

8. Magnetic force on a current wire
F = BILsin Where B is the magnetic flux density, I is the current, L is the length of wire in the field, and  is the angle between the current and the magnetic field.
Direction of force given by the same right hand rule as for moving charges, a current is a moving charge.
Force directions are defined for a positive moving charge or current
Recall that electrons move in the opposite direction to a current and will experience the magnetic force in the opposite direction.

9. Force between parallel wires
Two wires can combine their magnetic fields in regular vector field addition, just like we saw with electric fields.
Two wires can be parallel if the currents flow in the same direction or anit-parallel if the currents flow in opposite directions.
Parallel currents create an attractive force
Antiparallel create a repulsive force

10. Definition of the Ampere
Remember we use the ampere as the fundamental SI base units for all things electrical.
Why? Because it can be standardized through the magnetic force between current carrying wires:
If the force on a 1 m length of two wires that are 1 m apart and carrying equal currents is 2 x 10-7 N, then the current in each wire is defined to be 1 Ampere.

11. Exit slip and homework
Exit Slip – A fixed bar magnet is aligned so that it’s north pole is due north. What is the direction of the force of a charge that is traveling due east past this magnet?
