The Biot-Savart Rule 2. Ampere's Law Now that we know the effects of magnetic fields on currents we can discuss the causes of magnetic fields. If currents feel the magnetic force, Newton's Third Law requires they must exert it as well. The purpose of this chapter is to learn to calculate magnetic fields caused by currents. The Biot-Savart Rule is a recipe that will always work. Ampere’s Law, while more fundamental, can be used to find fields only in cases where the current distribution is highly symmetric. 1. The Biot-Savart Rule r dq dE = k 2 rˆ r r 2 2 dF = q dE r r 12 1 2 s + q I 1 r r 1 r dF = I sr ´ dB r r 12 1 2 dsr + I2 dq2 The electric force on a charge q1 is found from the field due to all the other charges. We begin by finding r dq 2 ˆ the field due to the point charge dq2, which is dE 2 = k 2 r . Next, the force on q1 due to dq2 is found r r r using definition of electric field, dF12 = q 1dE 2 . Then integrate all the contributions from the rest of the charge distribtion. The same proceedure would work for the magnetic force on I1 due to a distribution of r current I . The magnetic force on the current I in the magnetic field dB caused by a small current 2 1 2 r r element in I is, dF º I sr ´ dB which means that the magnetic equivalent of the electric charge element 2 12 1 2 dq is, q ® I rs ´ Þ dq ® Idsr ´ Þ dq ® I dsr ´ . Using an analogy to the field due to the point charge 1 1 2 2 r dq r I dsr ´ r I dsr ´ rˆ dq , dE = k 2 rˆ ® dB = k 2 rˆ Þ B = k 2 . This is called the Biot-Savart Rule. 2 2 2 2 m 2 2 m ò 2 r r r r r mo Ids ´ rˆ B = ò 2 The Biot-Savart Rule 4p r m T ×m The magnetic constant is usually replaced with k = o º 10- 7 . m 4p A 30-1 Physics 4B Lecture Notes Example 1: Find the magnetic field due to a long straight wire carrying a current I. r r mo Ids ´ rˆ y Starting with the Biot-Savart Rule, B = ò 2 . 4p r r Note ds ´ rˆ = sinqdx and the field points out of the page. r m sinq a The magnitude of the field is,B = o I dx. 4p ò r2 q 2 x I is constant, r = acsc q and x = - acot q Þ dx = acsc qdq . r x I m I p sin q m I p m I m I ds B = o acsc2 qdq = o sinqdq = o ×2 = o 4p òq= 0 a2 csc2 q 4pa òq=0 4pa 2pa B At this point the field is out of the page.

Ampere's Law Beyond the Mechanical Universe (vol. 35 Ch 19,20) Ampere's Law states that the sum of the magnetic field along any closed path is proportional to the current that passes through. Mathematically, r r òB · ds = moienclosed Ampere's Law y In order to understand this idea, consider a circular path around a wire that passes dsr through the center and is perpendicular to the plane of the circular path. We know m I r that the magnetic field due to the wire is, B = o and it is parallel to ds = rdq. 2pr I r r moI moI moI So, òB · ds = ò ×rdq = òdq = ×2p = moI consistent with Ampere's z 2pr 2p 2p Law. y If we change the path so that it doesn't contain the current as shown on the right. The path needs to be broken up into four parts, r r r r r r r r r r r ds dsr òB · ds = òB · ds + òB · ds + òB · ds + òB · ds . x b y a dsr r r r r r r a b Along the x and y axes B ^ ds Þ òB · ds = òB · ds = 0 . x y x I r m I ds Along b, B = o and it is parallel to ds = bdq so, 2pb B r m I m I m I p m I B · dsr = o ×bdq = o dq = o × = o . ò ò2pb 2p ò 2p 2 4 b b b 30-3 Physics 4B Lecture Notes r m I m I m I p m I Similarly along a, B · dsr = - o ×adq = - o dq = - o × = - o . Putting it all together, ò ò2pa 2p ò 2p 2 4 a a a r m I m I òB · dsr = 0 + o + 0 - o = 0 also consistent with Ampere's Law. 4 4 Like Gauss's Law, Ampere's Law can be used to find the magnetic field of a sufficiently symmetric current distribution. Example 4: Find the magnetic field inside and outside of a wire of radius a carrying a uniform current I. Sketch the field as a function of r the distance from the center. Outside the wire choose the circular path shown. Along this path the dsr symmetry requires B must be constant and it can only point along ds so, r òB · dsr = òBds = Bòds = B×2pr . a The enclosed current is the entire current I. Applying Ampere's Law, r m I r o r òB · ds = moienclosed Þ B ×2pr = moI Þ B = . This is the same 2pr result as for an infinitely thin wire. Inside the wire choose the circular path shown. Along this path the r symmetry requires B must be constant and it can only point along ds so ds r again, r a òB · dsr = òBds = Bòds = B×2pr . pr2 The enclosed current is i = ×I. Applying Ampere's Law, enclosed pa2 2 r pr m I ær B · dsr = m i Þ B ×2pr = m ×I Þ B = o × ö . The field grows linearly until the ò o enclosed o pa2 2pa è aø surface of the wire is reached. The graph of B vs. r is shown below. B moI 2pa a r 1 a r r a 30-4 Physics 4B Lecture Notes Example 5: Wire 1.00mm in diameter is wound around a 5.00cm diameter 1.00m long tube to create a solenoid. The wire carries a current of 100mA. Estimate the magnetic field in the center. Apply Ampere's Law for the path B indicated. The current enclosed is 2 ienclosed = Ni where N is the number 1 3 of turns inside the path and i is the 4 B»0 current in the wire. The path integral l of the field can be broken into four parts, one for each side of the path. r r r r r òB · dsr = òB · dsr + òB · dsr + òB · dsr + òB · dsr . Along side 4 the field is close to zero. Along 1 2 3 4 r r r r sides 1 and 3 the field is perpendicular to the path so, òB · ds = 0 + òB · ds + 0 + 0 = Bl . 2 Assuming that the solenoid is so long that symmetry requires the magnetic field to be constant along the path.

Their first statement by James Clerk Maxwell in 1864 heralded the beginning of the age of radio and, one could argue, the age of modern electronics as well. Maxwell pulled back the curtain on one of the fundamental secrets of the universe. These equations just don’t give the scientist or engineer insight, they are literally the answer to everything RF. The problem is that the equations can be baffling to work with. Solving Maxwell’s Equations for even simple structures like dipole antennas is not a trivial task. In fact, it will take us several chapters to get there. Solving Maxwell’s Equations for real life situations, like predicting the RF emissions from a cell tower, requires more mathematical horsepower than any individual mind can muster. For problems like that we turn to computers for solutions. Computational solutions to Maxwell’s Equations is a field that offers great promise. Unfortunately, that does not necessarily mean great answers. Computational solutions to Maxwell’s Equations need to be subjected to a reality check. That, in turn, usually requires a real live scientist or engineer who understands Maxwell’s Equations.

    A Dash of Maxwell’s A Maxwell’s Equations Primer Chapter III – The Difference a Del Makes By Glen Dash, Ampyx LLC, GlenDash at alum.mit.edu Copyright 2000, 2005 Ampyx LLC In Chapter Two, I introduced Maxwell’s Equations in their “integral form.” Simple in concept, the integral form can be devilishly difficult to work with. To overcome that, scientists and engineers have evolved a number of different ways to look at the problem, including this, the “differential form of the Equations.” The differential form makes use of vector operations. A physical phenomena that has the both the attributes of magnitude and direction may be described by a vector. Velocity can be drawn in vector form; it has the attributes of both direction and speed. Vectors can be illustrated graphically as shown in Figure 1(a) – the length of the vector represents its magnitude and its angle from the x axis defines its direction. However, we will be using Cartesian coordinates. In this system, vectors are described as a sum of “unit” denominated vectors. A unit vector along the x axis is simply a vector aligned with the x axis that is one unit long (one meter long in the MKS system). We’ll denote a unit vector in the x direction as i. Similarly, unit vectors in the y and z directions will be denoted j and k respectively. The vector shown in Figure 1 has a magnitude of 5 and is angled away from the x axis by 30 degrees. It can also be described as the sum of two unit denominated vectors one 3j units long and the other 4i units long.

Indeed, the account herein is fully consistent with the causal structure of Minkowski spacetime. We argue that retrocausal accounts of quantum mechanics are problematic precisely because they do not fully transcend the assumption that causal or constructive explanation must always be fundamental. Unlike retrocausal accounts, our principle explanation is a complete rejection of Reichenbach’s Principle. Furthermore, we will argue that the basis for our principle account of quantum mechanics is the physical principle sought by quantum information theorists for their reconstructions of quantum mechanics. Finally, we explain why our account is both fully realist and psi-epistemic.

The purpose is to provide interested students with an understandable and accessible derivation of the famous E=mc2 formula in terms of mathematics that is appropriate to those students studying A level Physics and/or A level Maths. As an A level student myself, I remember my own frustrating attempts to teach myself the maths and physics of relativity theory. I looked at a variety of books and found that they were either of the popular science kind, with no mathematical content at all, or else they were academic texts that took too much of the maths for granted and as a consequence I stumbled at the point of trying to derive the Lorentz transformation. This material is an attempt to remedy this by presenting a single continuous mathematical argument leading from first principles to the famous formula E=mc2 itself. Mathematical content and requirements. It is my view that the average well prepared sixth form student who studies for an A-level in mathematics will find that the Special Theory of Relativity is not significantly more difficult to learn than the methods of the standard practice exercises in the textbooks that are taught in secondary schools every day of the week.
