1. 5. Magnetostatics The force is generated by the magnetic field B.

2. Early evidence for the magnetic field.

3. Magnetic Field Bar magnetMagnetic field lines

4. Magnetic Field of the Earth Direction measured by a compass.

5. Oersted, in 1820What he saw.

6. Qersted’s experiment, modern version

7. Biot and Savert found that the force on a compass encircles a wire. Formulated the Biot-Savert law.

8. Ampere stated that all magnetic field are generated by currents. The elementary magnetic dipoles are current loops.

9. The force is generated by the magnetic field B. How does the field act on the moving charge? How is the field generated by the moving charges?

10. Total force on a charge: Lorentz’s law: Right – hand rule Magnetic force on a moving charge:

11. Example 5.2 – Cyclotron Motion

12. Cloud Chamber 1.6 MeV proton 7 MeV alpha

13. The Cylcotron O. E. Lawrence M. S. Livingston 1934

14. Magnetic Bottle

15. Van Allen Belts Protons and electrons from the solar wind are trapped by the earth’s magnetic field.

16. Currents Line current I 1 A = 1 C/s

17. Magnetic forces do not work!
