13. The scalar and vector magnetic potentials (1)
Scalar magnetic potential (Vm) is the simple practical concept to determine the electric field. Similarly, the scalar magnetic potential, Vm, is defined to relate to the magnetic field but there is no physical interpretation.
Assume
To make the above statement true, J = 0.

14. The scalar and vector magnetic potentials (2)
From
Laplace’s equation
This equation’s solution to determine
the potential field requires that the potential
on the boundaries is known.

15. The scalar and vector magnetic potentials (3)
The difference between V (electric potential) and Vm
(scalar magnetic potential) is that the electric potential is a
function of the positions while there can be many Vm values
for the same position.

Hall effect is the voltage exerted from the separation of electrons and positive ions influenced by the magnetic force in the conductor. This Hall voltage is perpendicular to both magnetic field and the charge velocity. N

31. The nature of magnetic materials
Combine our knowledge of the action of a magnetic field on a current loop with a simple model of an atom and obtain some appreciation of the difference in behavior of various types of materials in magnetic fields.
The magnetic properties of the materials depend on ‘magnetic moment’. Three types of magnetic moment are
1. The circular orbiting of electrons around the positive nucleus results in the current and then the magnetic field m = IdS.
2. Electron spinning around its own axis and thus generates a magnetic dipole moment.
3. Nuclear spin, this factor provides a negligible effect on the overall magnetic properties of materials.

32. Types of magnetic material (1)
diamagnetic The small magnetic filed produced by the motion of the electrons in their orbits and those produced by the electron spin combine to produce a net field of zero or we can say the permanent magnetic moment m0 = 0.
The external field would produce an internal magnetic field.
Some examples of materials that has diamagnetic effect are Metallic bismuth, hydrogen, helium, the other ‘inert’ gases, sodium chloride, copper, gold silicon, germanium, graphite, and sulfur.

33. Types of magnetic material (2)
paramagnetic The net magnetic moment of each atom is not zero but the average over the volume is, due to random orientation of the atoms. The material shows no magnetic effects in the absence of the external field.
Whenever there is an external field and the alignment of magnetic moments acts to increase the value of , the material is called ‘paramagnetic’ but if it acts to decrease the value of , it is still called diamagnetic.
For example, Potassium, Oxygen, Tungsten, and some rare earth elements.

34. Types of magnetic material (3)
Ferromagnetic each atom has a relatively large dipole moment due to uncompensated electron spin moments. These moments are forced to line up in parallel fashion over region containing a large number of atoms, these regions are called ‘domains’. The domain moments vary in direction from domain to domain. The overall effect is therefore one of cancellation, and the material as a whole has no magnetic moment.
When the external field is applied, those domains which are in the direction of the applied field increase their size at the expense of their neighbors, and the internal field increases greatly over that of the external field alone. When the external field is removed, a completely random domain alignment is not usually attained, and a residual dipole field remains in the macroscopic structure.

35. Types of magnetic material (4)
The magnetic state of material is a function of its magnetic history or ‘hysteresis’. For example, Iron, Nickel, and Cobalt.
Antiferromagnetic The forces between adjacent atoms cause the atomic moments to line up in anti parallel fashion. The net magnetic moment is zero. The antiferromagnetic materials are affected slightly by the presence of and external magnetic field.
For example, nickel oxide (NiO), ferrous sulfide (FeS), and cobalt chloride (CoCl2).

36. Types of magnetic material (5)
Ferrimagnetic Substances show an antiparallel alignment of adjacent atomic moments, but the moments are not equal. A large response to an external magnetic field therefore occurs.
For example, the ferrites, the iron oxide magnetite (Fe3O4), a nickel-zinc ferrite, and a nickel ferrite.

37. Types of magnetic material (6)
Superparamagnetic materials are composed of an assembly of ferromagnetic particles in a nonferromagnetic matrix. The domain walls cannot penetrate the intervening matrix material to the adjacent particles.
For example, the magnetic tape.
