The Magnetic Field of a Bar Magnet How does the magnetic field around a bar magnet look like? N S Magnets and Matter How do magnets interact with each other? Magnets interact with iron or steel, nickel, cobalt. Does it interact with charged tape? Does it work through matter? Does superposition principle hold? Similarities with E-field: • can repel or attract • superposition • works through matter Differences with E-field: • B-field only interacts with some objects • curly pattern • only closed field lines Magnetic Field of Earth The magnetic field of the earth has a pattern that looks like that of a bar magnet Horizontal component of magnetic field depends on latitude Maine: ~1.5.10-5 T Indiana: ~2.10-5 T Florida: ~3.10-5 T Can use magnetic field of Earth as a reference to determine unknown field.

Magnetism Is ubiquitous in every-day life! • Refrigerator magnets (who could live without them?) • Coils that deflect the electron beam in a CRT television or monitor • Cassette tape storage (audio or digital) • Computer disk drive storage • Electromagnet for Magnetic Resonant Imaging (MRI) Magnetic Field Magnets contain two poles: “north” and “south”. The force between like-poles repels (north-north, south-south), while opposite poles attract (north-south). This is reminiscent of the electric force between two charged objects (which can have positive or negative charge). Recall that the electric field was invoked to explain the “action at a distance” effect of the electric force, and was defined by: F E = qel where qel is electric charge of a positive test charge and F is the force acting on it. We might be tempted to define the same for the magnetic field, and write: F B = qmag where qmag is the “magnetic charge” of a positive test charge and F is the force acting on it. However, such a single magnetic charge, a “magnetic monopole,” has never been observed experimentally! You cannot break a bar magnet in half to get just a north pole or a south pole. As far as we know, no such single magnetic charges exist in the universe, D.

  • Magnetic Polarizability of a Short Right Circular Conducting Cylinder 1
    Journal of Research of the National Bureau of Standards-B. Mathematics and Mathematical Physics Vol. 64B, No.4, October- December 1960 Magnetic Polarizability of a Short Right Circular Conducting Cylinder 1 T. T. Taylor 2 (August 1, 1960) The magnetic polarizability tensor of a short righ t circular conducting cylinder is calcu­ lated in the principal axes system wit h a un iform quasi-static but nonpenetrating a pplied fi eld. On e of the two distinct tensor components is derived from res ults alread y obtained in co nnection wi th the electric polarizabili ty of short conducting cylinders. The other is calcu­ lated to an accuracy of four to five significan t fi gures for cylinders with radius to half-length ratios of }~, }~, 1, 2, a nd 4. These results, when combin ed with t he corresponding results for the electric polari zability, are a pplicable to t he proble m of calculating scattering from cylin­ cl ers and to the des ign of artifi c;al dispersive media. 1. Introduction This ar ticle considers the problem of finding the mftgnetie polariz ability tensor {3ij of a short, that is, noninfinite in length, righ t circular conducting cylinder under the assumption of negli gible field penetration. The latter condition can be realized easily with avail able con­ ductin g materials and fi elds which, although time varying, have wavelengths long compared with cylinder dimensions and can therefore be regftrded as quasi-static.

  • PH585: Magnetic Dipoles and So Forth
    PH585: Magnetic dipoles and so forth 1 Magnetic Moments Magnetic moments ~µ are analogous to dipole moments ~p in electrostatics. There are two sorts of magnetic dipoles we will consider: a dipole consisting of two magnetic charges p separated by a distance d (a true dipole), and a current loop of area A (an approximate dipole). N p d -p I S Figure 1: (left) A magnetic dipole, consisting of two magnetic charges p separated by a distance d. The dipole moment is |~µ| = pd. (right) An approximate magnetic dipole, consisting of a loop with current I and area A. The dipole moment is |~µ| = IA. In the case of two separated magnetic charges, the dipole moment is trivially calculated by comparison with an electric dipole – substitute ~µ for ~p and p for q.i In the case of the current loop, a bit more work is required to find the moment. We will come to this shortly, for now we just quote the result ~µ=IA nˆ, where nˆ is a unit vector normal to the surface of the loop. 2 An Electrostatics Refresher In order to appreciate the magnetic dipole, we should remind ourselves first how one arrives at the field for an electric dipole. Recall Maxwell’s first equation (in the absence of polarization density): ρ ∇~ · E~ = (1) r0 If we assume that the fields are static, we can also write: ∂B~ ∇~ × E~ = − (2) ∂t This means, as you discovered in your last homework, that E~ can be written as the gradient of a scalar function ϕ, the electric potential: E~ = −∇~ ϕ (3) This lets us rewrite Eq.

  • The Lorentz Force
    CLASSICAL CONCEPT REVIEW 14 The Lorentz Force We can find empirically that a particle with mass m and electric charge q in an elec- tric field E experiences a force FE given by FE = q E LF-1 It is apparent from Equation LF-1 that, if q is a positive charge (e.g., a proton), FE is parallel to, that is, in the direction of E and if q is a negative charge (e.g., an electron), FE is antiparallel to, that is, opposite to the direction of E (see Figure LF-1). A posi- tive charge moving parallel to E or a negative charge moving antiparallel to E is, in the absence of other forces of significance, accelerated according to Newton’s second law: q F q E m a a E LF-2 E = = 1 = m Equation LF-2 is, of course, not relativistically correct. The relativistically correct force is given by d g mu u2 -3 2 du u2 -3 2 FE = q E = = m 1 - = m 1 - a LF-3 dt c2 > dt c2 > 1 2 a b a b 3 Classically, for example, suppose a proton initially moving at v0 = 10 m s enters a region of uniform electric field of magnitude E = 500 V m antiparallel to the direction of E (see Figure LF-2a).

  • Section 14: Dielectric Properties of Insulators
    Physics 927 E.Y.Tsymbal Section 14: Dielectric properties of insulators The central quantity in the physics of dielectrics is the polarization of the material P. The polarization P is defined as the dipole moment p per unit volume. The dipole moment of a system of charges is given by = p qiri (1) i where ri is the position vector of charge qi. The value of the sum is independent of the choice of the origin of system, provided that the system in neutral. The simplest case of an electric dipole is a system consisting of a positive and negative charge, so that the dipole moment is equal to qa, where a is a vector connecting the two charges (from negative to positive). The electric field produces by the dipole moment at distances much larger than a is given by (in CGS units) 3(p⋅r)r − r 2p E(r) = (2) r5 According to electrostatics the electric field E is related to a scalar potential as follows E = −∇ϕ , (3) which gives the potential p ⋅r ϕ(r) = (4) r3 When solving electrostatics problem in many cases it is more convenient to work with the potential rather than the field. A dielectric acquires a polarization due to an applied electric field. This polarization is the consequence of redistribution of charges inside the dielectric. From the macroscopic point of view the dielectric can be considered as a material with no net charges in the interior of the material and induced negative and positive charges on the left and right surfaces of the dielectric.

  • Revision Pack Topic 7- Magnetism & Electromagnetism
    Revision Pack Topic 7- Magnetism & Electromagnetism Permanent and induced magnetism, magnetic forces and fields R/A/G Poles of a magnet The poles of a magnet are the places where the magnetic forces are strongest. When two magnets are brought close together they exert a force on each other. Two like poles repel each other. Two unlike poles attract each other. Attraction and repulsion between two magnetic poles are examples of non-contact force. A permanent magnet produces its own magnetic field. An induced magnet is a material that becomes a magnet when it is placed in a magnetic field. Induced magnetism always causes a force of attraction. When removed from the magnetic field an induced magnet loses most/all of its magnetism quickly. Magnetic fields The region around a magnet where a force acts on another magnet or on a magnetic material (iron, steel, cobalt and nickel) is called the magnetic field. The force between a magnet and a magnetic material is always one of attraction. The strength of the magnetic field depends on the distance from the magnet. The field is strongest at the poles of the magnet. The direction of the magnetic field at any point is given by the direction of the force that would act on another north pole placed at that point. The direction of a magnetic field line is from the north (seeking) pole of a magnet to the south (seeking) pole of the magnet. A magnetic compass contains a small bar magnet. The Earth has a magnetic field. The compass needle points in the direction of the Earth’s magnetic field.

Magnetic fields: - magnetic fields from electrical currents and magnets; magnetic induction B and lines of magnetic induction. The geomagnetic field The magnetic elements: (N, E, V) vector components; declination (azimuth) and inclination (dip). The external field: diurnal variations, ionospheric currents, magnetic storms, sunspot activity. The internal field: the dipole and non–dipole fields, secular variations, the geocentric axial dipole hypothesis, geomagnetic reversals, seabed magnetic anomalies, The dynamo model Reasons against an origin in the crust or mantle and reasons suggesting an origin in the fluid outer core. Magnetohydrodynamic dynamo models: motion and eddy currents in the fluid core, mechanical analogues. Background reading: Fowler §3.1 & 7.9.2, Lowrie §5.2 & 5.4 GEOPHYSICS (08/430/0012) MAGNETIC FORCES Magnetic forces are forces associated with the motion of electric charges, either as electric currents in conductors or, in the case of magnetic materials, as the orbital and spin motions of electrons in atoms. Although the concept of a magnetic pole is sometimes useful, it is diácult to relate precisely to observation; for example, all attempts to find a magnetic monopole have failed, and the model of permanent magnets as magnetic dipoles with north and south poles is not particularly accurate. Consequently moving charges are normally regarded as fundamental in magnetism. Basic observations 1. Permanent magnets A magnet attracts iron and steel, the attraction being most marked close to its ends.
