1. Magnetism A Strangely Attractive Topic

2. History #1 à Term from the ancient Greek city of Magnesia, àMany natural magnets found à We now refer to these natural magnets as lodestones àcontain magnetite, a naturally magnetic material Fe 3 O 4. à (Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD Roman) wrote of a hill near the river Indus that was made entirely of a stone that attracted iron.)

3. History #2 à 121 AD Chinese scholars knew àthat an iron rod which had been brought near one of these natural magnets acquired and retained the magnetic property àthat such a rod when suspended from a string would align itself in a north-south direction. à Use of magnets to aid in navigation can be traced back to at least the eleventh century.

4. à (1819) a connection between electrical and magnetic phenomena is shown. àDanish scientist Hans Christian Oersted observed that a compass needle in the vicinity of a wire carrying electrical current was deflected! à (1831), Michael Faraday discovered that a momentary current existed in a circuit when the current in a nearby circuit was started or stopped à Shortly after, he discovered that motion of a magnet toward or away from a circuit could produce the same effect.

5. (Let This Be a Lesson!) à (Joseph Henry (first Director of the Smithsonian Institution) failed to publish what he had discovered 6-12 months before Faraday)

6. SUMMARY: Oersted showed that magnetic effects could be produced by moving electrical charges; Faraday and Henry showed that electric currents could be produced by moving magnets *All magnetic phenomena result from forces between electric charges in motion.

7. Looking in More Detail à Andre Ampere first suggested in 1820 that magnetic properties of matter were due to tiny atomic currents à All atoms exhibit magnetic effects à Medium in which charges are moving has profound effects on observed magnetic forces

8. 1. There are North Poles and South Poles. 2. Like poles repel, unlike poles attract. 3. Magnetic forces attract only magnetic materials. 4. Magnetic forces act at a distance. 5. While magnetized, temporary magnets act like permanent magnets. What We Will Learn About Magnetism

9. 6. A coil of wire with an electric current flowing through it becomes a magnet. 7. Putting iron inside a current-carrying coil increases the strength of the electromagnet. 8. A changing magnetic field induces an electric current in a conductor.

10. 9. A charged particle experiences no magnetic force when moving parallel to a magnetic field, but when it is moving perpendicular to the field it experiences a force perpendicular to both the field and the direction of motion. 10. A current-carrying wire in a perpendicular magnetic field experiences a force in a direction perpendicular to both the wire and the field.

11. For Every North, There is a South Every magnet has at least one north pole and one south pole. Field lines leave the North end of a magnet and enter the South end of a magnet. If you take a bar magnet and break it into two pieces, each piece will again have a North pole and a South pole. No matter how many times. SNSNSN

12. (No Monopoles Allowed) (It has not been shown to be possible to end up with a single North pole or a single South pole, which is a monopole. Note: Some theorists believe that magnetic monopoles may have been made in the early Universe. So far, none have been detected. SN

13. Magnets Have Magnetic Fields We will say that a moving charge sets up in the space around it a magnetic field, and it is the magnetic field which exerts a force on any other charge moving through it. Magnetic fields are vector quantities….that is, they have a magnitude and a direction!

14. Defining Magnetic Field Direction Magnetic Field vectors are written as B Magnitude of the B-vector is proportional to the force acting on the moving charge, magnitude of the moving charge, the magnitude of its velocity, and the angle between v and the B-field. Unit is the Tesla or the Gauss (1 T = 10,000 G). F = qvBsin θ

15. Magnetic Field Lines Magnetic field lines describe the structure of magnetic fields in three dimensions. If at any point on such a line we place an ideal compass needle, free to turn in any direction (unlike the usual compass needle, which stays in 2 dimensions) then the needle will always point along the field line.

16. Field lines are closer together where the field is the strongest, and spread out when the field is weak.

23. Showing the Direction of Magnetic Field in a wire FIRST RIGHT-HAND RULE Hold wire in your right hand with your thumb pointing in the direction of current. ( + to - ) The magnetic field of the wire wraps around it in the direction of your fingers. (At 90 degrees to the wire)

24. Finding Poles of an Electromagnet SECOND RIGHT-HAND RULE: Hold an insulated coil of wire in your right hand. Wrap your fingers in the direction of current. Your thumb points toward the north pole of the electromagnet.

25. Force on a Current Carrying Wire THIRD RIGHT-HAND RULE Point your thumb in the direction of current. Point your pointer finger in the direction of the magnetic field. (N to S) Point your middle finger perpendicular to your pointer finger. That is the direction of the force on the wire.

26. Cyclotron à Developed in 1931 by E. O. Lawrence and M. S. Livingston at UC Berkeley à Uses electric fields to accelerate and magnetic fields to guide particles at very high speeds

27. How a Cyclotron Works à Pair of metal chambers shaped like a pillbox cut along one of its diameters (cleverly referred to as “D”s) and slightly separated à Ds connected to alternating current à Ions injected near gap à Ions are accelerated as long as they remain “in step” with alternating electric field

28. Magnetic Force on Current-Carrying Wire Since moving charges experience a force in a magnetic field, a current- carrying wire will experience such a force, since a current consists of moving charges. This property is at the heart of a number of devices.

29. Force on a current carrying wire. FORCE on a current carrying wire F = ILB Sin θ F =(current)(Length)(strength of Field in Tesla) So Field strength = 1N/(1A(1m))

32. Force on a Charged Moving Particle F = qvBSin θ A beam of electrons travels at 3 x 10 6 m/s through a field of 4.0 x 10 -2 T at right angles to the field. How strong is the force on each electron? F = 1.6 x 10 -19 C(3 x 10 6 m/s )(4.0 x 10 -2 T )

34. Electric Motor An electric motor, is a machine which converts electrical energy into mechanical (rotational or kinetic) energy. A current is passed through a loop which is immersed in a magnetic field. A force exists on the top leg of the loop which pulls the loop out of the paper, while a force on the bottom leg of the loop pushes the loop into the paper. The net effect of these forces is to rotate the loop.

35. Electromagnet (Magnetism from Electricity) An electromagnet is simply a coil of wires which, when a current is passed through, generate a magnetic field, as below.

36. Magnetic Properties of Matter In other words….materials which produce magnetic fields with no apparent circulation of charge. All substances - solid, gas, and liquid - react to the presence of a magnetic field on some level. Remember why? How much they react causes them to be put into several material “types”.

37. Magnet - isms à Ferromagnetism - Iron, cobalt, nickel, gadolinium, dysprosium and alloys containing these elements exhibit ferromagnetism àThe direction the electron spins within one atom interacts with those of nearby atoms. àThey will align, creating magnetic domains forming a permanent magnet.  If a piece of iron is placed within a strong magnetic field, the domains in line with the field will grow in size as the domains perpendicular to the field will shrink in size.

38. Making a Magnet from a Ferromagnetic Material domains in which the magnetic fields of individual atoms align orientation of the magnetic fields of the domains is random no net magnetic field. when an external magnetic field is applied, the magnetic fields of the individual domains line up in the direction of the external field this causes the external magnetic field to be enhanced

39. A Ferromagnet in the Middle If we look at a solenoid (a coil), but rather than air, wrap it around a nice iron core. What happens to the change in flux for a given current? Can you see why ferromagnetic materials are often put in the middle of current- carrying coils?

40. We can build one!

41. Well, a simpler one…
