MAGNETISM 1. an Electric Charge Experiences a Magnetic Force When Moving in a Magnetic Field 1 MAGNETISM A magnetic field is a vector field that permeates space and which can exert a magnetic force on moving electric charges and on magnetic dipoles. We define the magnitude of the magnetic field by measuring the magnetic force on a moving cha rge q: B = 1 T(Tesla) = Direction at any location is the direction in which the north pole of the compass needl e points at that location. Outside magnet: N → S Inside magnet: S → N (always closed loops) 1. An electric charge experiences a magnetic force when moving in a magnetic field. Magnetic force acting on a charge q Magnetic force on a wire carrying current I in a magnetic Field B: F = qvB sinin a magnetic field B: F = I LB sin q = charge [C] I = current [A] v = velocity [m/s] L = length [m] B = magnetic field [Tesla T] B = magnetic field [T] = angle between v and B = angle between I and B R-H-R 1: The direction of the magnetic force on a charge/current is given by the right-hand rule 1: Outstretch fingers in the direction of v (or current I). Curl fingers as if rotating vector v (I ) into vector B. Magnetic force on a positive charge (or I) is in the direction of the thumb. Magnetic force on a negative charge points in opposite direction. Charge q in elec. field E and mag. field B The electric force: Felec = Eq The magnetic force: Fmag = qvB sin ● is always parallel to the direction of the ● is always perpendicular to the direction of the electric field. magnetic field ● acts on a charged particle only when the particle is in motion ● acts on a charged particle independent of the and only if v and B do not point in the same or opposite particle’s velocity (even at rest). direction (sin 00 = sin 1800 = 0). ● does the work when moving charge. ● Force is perpendicular to the direction of the motion, The work, W = Fel d cos θ1, is converted into kinetic so the work done by magnetic force is zero. energy which is, in the case of conductors, 0 W = Fmag d cos θ1 = 0 (cos 90 = 0). transferred to thermal energy through collisions W = ΔKE = 0 with the lattice ions causing increased amplitude of vibrations seen as temperature rise. Hence change in kinetic energy of the charge is 0, and that means that mag. force cannot change the speed of the charge. Magnetic force can only change direction of the velocity – therefore it acts as centripetal force. θ1 is angle between F and direction of motion 2 Examples of the Lorentz Force Two important applications of the Lorentz force are 1) the trajectory of a charged particle in a uniform magnetic field and 2) the force on a current-carrying conductor. 1) The trajectory of a charge q in a uniform magnetic field B ● Force is perpendicular to B,v ● Magnetic force does no work! (W = F d cos θ1 = 0 ) ● Speed is constant (W = Δ KE = 0 ) ● Circular motion Centripetal force definition: Motion in a circle represents accelerated motion, and requires a force directed toward the center of the circle. This force is called the centripetal force which means "center seeking" force. It is forcing mass m to move in the circle of radius R with the speed v . Centripetal force force has the magnitude Charged particle in a magnetic field when v B: In the case the charge q is subject to the uniform field B, centripetal force Fc is magnetic force forcing the charge to move in a circle: Positive charge q in magnetic field B B = magnetic field [T] ● massive or fast charges – large circles is represented by the crosses – into the page ● large charges and/or large B – small circles R =is the radius of the path F is magnetic force on the charge directed toward the centre of the circular path m = mass [kg] v = velocity [m/s] q = charge [C] 3 APPLICATION: A mass spectrometer – the path shown is for positive ions Step 0 – if we want to find a mass of molecules or atoms we have to ionize them first. Step 1 – Acceleration through potential difference ΔV ΔU = q ΔV = ½ mv2 v = tep 2 - the velocity selector – Crossed fields The ions emerge from the acceleration stage with a range of speeds (different masses – different accelerations). Velocity selector/crossed fields is designed to allow ions of only a particular velocity to pass through undeflected. Two forces are acting on the charge q Felec = qE and Fmag = qvB if qvB = qE the charge moves through crossed fields undeflected so only ions with speed v = E/B are undeflected and will move in the straight line Step 3 - mass separation All these ions, with the same charge and velocity, enter the mass separation stage - a region with a uniform magnetic field. Magnetic field will force the ion entering it with velocity perpendicular to it, to travel in a circular path. The only thing different for these particles is the mass, so the heavier ions travel in a circular path of larger radius than the lighter ones. Charged particle in a magnetic field when v B: mv 2 qvB R massive or fast charges – large circles large charges and/or large B – small circles mv R qB 2. A moving charge produces a magnetic field. R-H-R 2: The direction of the magnetic field produced by electric current is given by the right-hand rule 2: If a wire is grasped in the right hand with the thumb in the direction of current flow, the fingers will curl in the direction of the magnetic field. 4 Magnetic field B around a wire with current I Magnetic Field B Inside of a Solenoid B = B = 0 n I -7 = the permeability of free space 4×10 T·m/A The magnetic field is concentrated I = current [A] into a nearly uniform field in the r = distance from the center of the conductor centre of a long solenoid.

Electricity can be produced from many different types of energy, and all of these methods make use of a generator to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. Electrical generator Electrical energy is usually produced by rotating coil in a uniform magnetic field. Free electrons in a wire will experience magnetic force if the wire moves in a magnetic field; the electrons inside it experience a force causing them to move to one end of the wire. This causes a potential difference along the wire which can be used to create current in a circuit. We say that current has been induced in the wire. 5 A generator uses the same principle, but instead of the wire moving in a straight line, a coil rotates in the magnetic field. As the coil rotates, resulting in a current that keeps changing direction, called an alternating current or AC for short. To prevent the wires from getting twisted when the coil rotates, there must be sliding contacts between the coil and circuit. However, friction between these sliding components will eventually wear away the contacts. An alternative arrangement is for the magnets to rotate inside the coils, this also results in an alternating current but has no sliding parts Electric Motor You find it everywhere: turntables, washing machined, any fan, air conditioners, wherever something is moving there is an electric motor. There are many coils of wires, but b/c of simplicity we drew only one. Each end of the coil is attached to a metallic half-ring. Rubbing against each of the half-rings is a graphite contact called a brush. Half–rings rotate with the coil; the graphite brushes remain stationary. Left picture: the current from the battery enters the coil through the left brush, goes around the coil, and leaves through the right half-ring and brush. Forces on two vertical sides result in rotation (turning) of the coil. The coil rotates until it riches the position shown in the middle picture. In this position the half rings momentarily lose electrical contact with the brushes: no current – no force, no ability of the force to cause rotation (so called torque). But, b/c of its rotational inertia (moving object does not stop momentarily) the coil continues to rotate, and half-rings reestablish contact with the brushes. So there is again current in the coil, but now in opposite direction (the side that had current upwards, now has current downwards b/c it is connected to different terminal). The split ring ensures that the current is always in the proper direction such that the torque produces a continuous rotation of the coil. 6 PRACTICE MAGNETISM 1 1.

Received 10 December, 2013; Accepted 14 February, 2014 A few hundred years have passed since the discovery of electricity and electromagnetic fields, formulating them as Maxwell's equations, but the nature of an electric charge remains unknown. Why do particles with the same charge repel and opposing charges attract? Is the electric charge a primary intrinsic property of a particle? These questions cannot be answered until the nature of the electric charge is identified. The present study provides an explicit description of the gravitational constant G and the origin of electric charge will be inferred using generalized dimensional analysis. Key words: Electric charge, gravitational constant, dimensional analysis, particle mass change. INTRODUCTION The universe is composed of three basic elements; parameters. This approach is of great generality and mass-energy (M), length (L), and time (T). Intrinsic mathematical simplicity that simply and directly properties are assigned to particles, including mass, postulates a hypothesis for the nature of the electric electric charge, and spin, and their effects are applied in charge. Although the final formula is a guesswork based the form of physical formulas that explicitly address on dimensional analysis of electric charges, it shows the physical phenomena. The meaning of some particle existence of consistency between the final formula and properties remains opaque.

Oktober 2019, Prof. Dr. Carsten Rockstuhl iv To Ouiem and Adam Thesis abstract Optical metamaterials are artificial media made from subwavelength inclusions with un- conventional properties at optical frequencies. While a response to the magnetic field of light in natural material is absent, metamaterials prompt to lift this limitation and to exhibit a response to both electric and magnetic fields at optical frequencies. Due tothe interplay of both the actual shape of the inclusions and the material from which they are made, but also from the specific details of their arrangement, the response canbe driven to one or multiple resonances within a desired frequency band. With such a high number of degrees of freedom, tedious trial-and-error simulations and costly experimen- tal essays are inefficient when considering optical metamaterials in the design of specific applications.

    Intro to Electricity By Chris Woodford Updated: May 30, 2014 Name ____________________________ Date _____________ Non-fiction Reading with questions Electricity If you've ever sat watching a thunderstorm, with mighty lightning bolts darting down from the sky, you'll have some idea of the power of electricity. A bolt of lightning is a sudden, massive surge of electricity between the sky and the ground beneath. The energy in a single lightning bolt is enough to light 100 powerful lamps for a whole day or to make a couple of hundred thousand slices of toast! Electricity is the most versatile energy source that we have; it is also one of the newest: homes and businesses have been using it for not much more than a hundred years. Electricity has played a vital part of our past. But it could play a different role in our future, with many more buildings generating their own renewable electric power using solar cells and wind turbines. Let's take a closer look at electricity and find out how it works! What is electricity? Electricity is a type of energy that can build up in one place or flow from one place to another. When electricity gathers in one place it is known as static electricity (the word static means something that does not move); electricity that moves from one place to another is called current electricity. Static electricity Static electricity often happens when you rub things together. TRY THIS: Rub a balloon against your clothing 20 or 30 times, you'll find the balloon sticks to you and maybe even the wall.

  • Experiment 1: Coulomb's
    Experiment 1: Coulomb's Law Introduction to Coulomb's Law In 1785 Augustin de Coulomb investigated the attractive and repulsive forces between charged objects, experimentally formulating what is now referred to as Coulomb's Law: \The magnitude of the electric force that a particle exerts on another is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely pro- portional to the square of the distance between them." Mathematically, the magnitude of this electrostatic force F acting on two charged particles (q1; q2) is expressed as: q q F = k 1 2 (1) r2 where r is the separation distance between the objects and k is a constant of proportionality, called the Coulomb constant, k = 9:0 × 109 Nm2=C2. This formula gives us the magnitude of the force and we can get the direction by noting a positive force as repulsive and a negative force as attractive. Noting that like charges repel each other and opposite charges attracting each other, Coulomb measured the force between the objects,in the form of small metal coated balls, by using a torsion balance similar to the balance used to measure gravitational forces, as shown in Figure 1a. (a) (b) Figure 1: (a) Coulomb's torsion balance: A pith ball (lower right corner) is attached on a rotating beam with a counterweight on the opposite end. When a second pith ball (upper left corner) of equal charge is brought near the first ball, they will repel, and the beam starts to rotate (Source: Coulomb, 1785). (b) A pith ball electroscope.

  • Electric Charge How Does an Object Get a Charge (Must Gain Or Lose Something)?
    Topic 1: Electric Charge How does an object get a charge (must gain or lose something)? What does it mean when an object is positively charged? What about negatively charged? An object gets a charge when it is rubbed. This rubbing causes the objects to gain or lose electrons. When it loses electrons it becomes positively charged. When an object gains electrons it becomes negatively charged. What is an object called when it has an even number of positive and negative charges? It’s called balanced or NEUTRAL What are the THREE LAWS OF CHARGES? (page 268) 1. Unlike charges attract 2. Like charges repel 3. Charged objects attract uncharged objects. Define STATIC ELECTRICITY: The unbalance of electrons created by rubbing or friction in which electrons do not move. Define INSULATOR and provide an example: Doesn’t allow electrons to move through it easily. Define CONDUCTOR and provide an example: Allows electrons to move through it easily. Define SEMICONDUCTOR and provide an example: Materials with higher conductivity than insulators but lower conductivity than conductors. Define SUPERCONDUCTOR and provide an example: Materials that offer little resistance to no resistance to flow of charges. See page 269 bottom paragraph. Define GROUNDING: Connecting an object to Earth with a conducting wire. This neutralizes the charges. Describe NEUTRALIZATION: Becoming balanced. Topic 2: Electricity Within a Circuit Define CIRCUIT: A continuous pathway for charges to move along. All circuit diagrams have four basic parts. Name them, and describe what they do. 1. Source: Battery, cell etc 2. Control: Switch that can allow the electrons to follow or not on a complete path 3.
