  • The Magnetic Moment of a Bar Magnet and the Horizontal Component of the Earth’S Magnetic Field
    260 16-1 EXPERIMENT 16 THE MAGNETIC MOMENT OF A BAR MAGNET AND THE HORIZONTAL COMPONENT OF THE EARTH’S MAGNETIC FIELD I. THEORY The purpose of this experiment is to measure the magnetic moment μ of a bar magnet and the horizontal component BE of the earth's magnetic field. Since there are two unknown quantities, μ and BE, we need two independent equations containing the two unknowns. We will carry out two separate procedures: The first procedure will yield the ratio of the two unknowns; the second will yield the product. We will then solve the two equations simultaneously. The pole strength of a bar magnet may be determined by measuring the force F exerted on one pole of the magnet by an external magnetic field B0. The pole strength is then defined by p = F/B0 Note the similarity between this equation and q = F/E for electric charges. In Experiment 3 we learned that the magnitude of the magnetic field, B, due to a single magnetic pole varies as the inverse square of the distance from the pole. k′ p B = r 2 in which k' is defined to be 10-7 N/A2. Consider a bar magnet with poles a distance 2x apart. Consider also a point P, located a distance r from the center of the magnet, along a straight line which passes from the center of the magnet through the North pole. Assume that r is much larger than x. The resultant magnetic field Bm at P due to the magnet is the vector sum of a field BN directed away from the North pole, and a field BS directed toward the South pole.

  • 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.

  • Units in Electromagnetism (PDF)
    Units in electromagnetism Almost all textbooks on electricity and magnetism (including Griffiths’s book) use the same set of units | the so-called rationalized or Giorgi units. These have the advantage of common use. On the other hand there are all sorts of \0"s and \µ0"s to memorize. Could anyone think of a system that doesn't have all this junk to memorize? Yes, Carl Friedrich Gauss could. This problem describes the Gaussian system of units. [In working this problem, keep in mind the distinction between \dimensions" (like length, time, and charge) and \units" (like meters, seconds, and coulombs).] a. In the Gaussian system, the measure of charge is q q~ = p : 4π0 Write down Coulomb's law in the Gaussian system. Show that in this system, the dimensions ofq ~ are [length]3=2[mass]1=2[time]−1: There is no need, in this system, for a unit of charge like the coulomb, which is independent of the units of mass, length, and time. b. The electric field in the Gaussian system is given by F~ E~~ = : q~ How is this measure of electric field (E~~) related to the standard (Giorgi) field (E~ )? What are the dimensions of E~~? c.

  • Magnetic Moment of a Spin, Its Equation of Motion, and Precession B1.1.6
    Magnetic Moment of a Spin, Its Equation of UNIT B1.1 Motion, and Precession OVERVIEW The ability to “see” protons using magnetic resonance imaging is predicated on the proton having a mass, a charge, and a nonzero spin. The spin of a particle is analogous to its intrinsic angular momentum. A simple way to explain angular momentum is that when an object rotates (e.g., an ice skater), that action generates an intrinsic angular momentum. If there were no friction in air or of the skates on the ice, the skater would spin forever. This intrinsic angular momentum is, in fact, a vector, not a scalar, and thus spin is also a vector. This intrinsic spin is always present. The direction of a spin vector is usually chosen by the right-hand rule. For example, if the ice skater is spinning from her right to left, then the spin vector is pointing up; the skater is rotating counterclockwise when viewed from the top. A key property determining the motion of a spin in a magnetic field is its magnetic moment. Once this is known, the motion of the magnetic moment and energy of the moment can be calculated. Actually, the spin of a particle with a charge and a mass leads to a magnetic moment. An intuitive way to understand the magnetic moment is to imagine a current loop lying in a plane (see Figure B1.1.1). If the loop has current I and an enclosed area A, then the magnetic moment is simply the product of the current and area (see Equation B1.1.8 in the Technical Discussion), with the direction n^ parallel to the normal direction of the plane.

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.

Boyer Department of Physics, City College of the City University of New York, New York, NY 10031 (July 5, 2001) Abstract A fundamentally new understanding of the classical electromagnetic inter- action of a point charge and a magnetic dipole moment through order v2=c2 is suggested. This relativistic analysis connects together hidden momentum in magnets, Solem's strange polarization of the classical hydrogen atom, and the Aharonov-Bohm phase shift. First we review the predictions following from the traditional particle-on-a-frictionless-rigid-ring model for a magnetic moment. This model, which is not rela tivistic to order v2=c2, does reveal a connection between the electric field of the point charge and hidden momen- tum in the magnetic moment; however, the electric field back at the point charge due to the Faraday-induced changing magnetic moment is of order 1=c4 and hence is negligible in a 1=c2 analysis. Next we use a relativistic magnetic moment model consisting of many superimposed classical hydrogen atoms (and anti-atoms) interacting through the Darwin Lagrangian with an external charge but not with each other. The analysis of Solem regarding the strange polarization of the classical hydrogen atom is seen to give a fundamen- tally different mechanism for the electric field of the passing charge to change the magnetic moment. The changing magnetic moment leads to an electric forcebackatthepointchargewhichi)isoforder1=c2, ii)depends upon the magnetic dipole moment, changing sign with the dipole moment, iii) is odd in the charge q of the passing charge, and i v) reverses sign for charges passing on opposite sides of the magnetic moment.

Typically, the current was in a metal and the carriers were conduction electrons. In this chapter, we recognize that materials provide still other magnetic field sources. These account for the fields of permanent magnets and for the increase in inductance produced in a coil by insertion of a magnetizable material. Magnetization effects are due to the propensity of the atomic constituents of matter to behave as magnetic dipoles. It is natural to think of electrons circulating around a nucleus as comprising a circulating current, and hence giving rise to a magnetic moment similar to that for a current loop, as discussed in Example 8.3.2. More surprising is the magnetic dipole moment found for individual electrons. This moment, associated with the electronic property of spin, is defined as the Bohr magneton e 1 m = ± ¯h (1) e m 2 11 where e/m is the electronic charge­to­mass ratio, 1.76 × 10 coulomb/kg, and 2π¯h −34 2 is Planck’s constant, ¯h = 1.05 × 10 joule­sec so that me has the units A − m .
