1. Magnetic Fields and Forces
Chapter 24
Magnetic Fields and Forces
Topics:
Magnets and the magnetic field
Electric currents create magnetic fields
Magnetic fields of wires, loops, and solenoids
Magnetic forces on charges and currents
Magnets and magnetic materials
Sample question:
This image of a patient’s knee was made with magnetic fields, not x rays. How can we use magnetic fields to visualize the inside of the body?
Slide 24-1

2. Key Points Three types of magnetic interactions
no interaction with either pole of a magnet => object is non-magnetic
attracted to both poles of a magnet => object is magnetic
Attracted to one pole and repelled by the other pole => object is a magnet
Magnetic field vector from a bar magnet is a super position of the magnetic field vectors from the N and S poles:
Vector from N pole points away from N pole
Vector from S pole points towards S pole
Field lines form complete loops inside and outside of magnet
Field lines outside magnet go from N to S poles
Field lines inside magnet go from S to N poles
Magnetic Field vectors at a point are tangential to Magnetic Field Lines
Answer: tesla

3. 3-D Arrows, Cross Products, and Right Hand Rule 1
Showing vectors in 3D
Cross Product
For direction use Right-hand rule 1
Right-hand rule 1 (RHR 1) => for finding direction of cross-product vector (Cross-Product Rule)
Point right hand in the direction of the first vector (vector A)
Rotate your right hand until you can point your fingers in the direction of the second vector (vector B)
Thumb points in direction the cross-product vector (vector C)

13. Magnetic Fields from Two Magnets
Bar Magnets A and B are placed at right angles. Two compasses, X and Y are placed so that they are equidistant from the two magnets as shown
A.) The arrow in compass X indicates the direction in which the North pole of the compass is pointing. Indicate the North and South ends of both magnets in the diagram
B.) Draw an arrow in compass Y to show the direction in which the North pole of the compass needle would point.
