Physics 401 2 Reminder: Magnetic Response of Materials
Two things are often called the “magnetic field”: B and H
B H Magnetic induction Magnetic field intensity Magnetic flux density � = �! � + � Magnetizing field
Determines forces on Field created only by moving free charges moving free charges. via Lorentz force law: M Magnetization In vacuum, � = � �. Magnetic polarization ! �⃗ = � � + �⃗×� Field created only by moving bound charges, i.e. magnetic response of the medium
Physics 401 3 Reminder: Magnetic Response of Materials
� = �! � + � = �! 1 + � � = �!�"�
We classify materials into three major categories:
Diamagnetic � < 0 � < 1 Weakly repelled Paramagnetic � > 0 � > 1 Weakly attracted Ferromagnetic � ≫ 0 � ≫ 1 Strongly attracted
Physics 401 4 Magnetic Materials: Diamagnetism Many materials are diamagnetic (� < �), i.e. they magnetize in a
−5 way that reduces the applied field and are repelled from magnets.

Physics 401 5 Superconductors: the Meissner Effect
Normal Superconducting Superconductors are perfect diamagnets (� = −�)
At T Persistent image currents expel incident fields to maintain B=0. Above some critical field Hc, superconductivity is destroyed.
