magnetism
 magnetic fields are produced by moving electrical
charges (current)
 macroscopic level (e.g. currents in a wire)
 microscopic (electrons in atomic orbit and rotating
around their own axis)

magnets
 the magnetic field produced by electrons tend to cancel each other,
so most materials are not magnetic
 in certain ‘ferromagnetic’ materials (iron) neighboring electrons can
couple and form domains (< 1mm) that are magnetic. Since there are
many domains that have different orientation, the material is overall
not magnetized
 when an external magnetic field is applied the fields in the different
domains align and the whole object becomes magnetic
 after the external field is removed, a material like iron becomes
unmagnetized quickly, but some remain magnetized and can be
used as ‘permanent’ magnets.

magnetic poles and fields
 magnets have ‘north’ and ‘south’ poles and field lines run
from north to south
 unlike the case of electrical fields, where positive charges
can exists separate from negative charges, north and
south poles always come together. There are no
monopoles discovered so far.

question
If you are standing exactly at the (magnetic) south
Pole (I.e. near the geographical north pole), and are
holding a compass parallel with the earth’s surface,
in which direction would the needle point?
a) It would point roughly to the geographical south
b) It could point anywhere
c) It would rotate with constant angular speed
The compass needle in fact wants to point into the earth
(along the direction of the field line). But if hold parallel
to earth, it can’t do that and will point wherever. There is
no reason for it to rotate though.

question
In a nuclear reaction two types of fully ionized particles are created.
120Sn with Z=50 and v=12.8814x107 m/s (Tin)
120Sb with Z=51 and v=13.099x107 m/s (Antimony)
Both have a mass of 1.991x10-25 kg and pass through a 180o
magnetic spectrometer with B=1T. If the detector used to locate
the particles can separate events that are 2 mm away from each
other, are 120Sn and 120Sb separated?
r= mv/qB
For 120Sn:
M=1.991x10-25 kg v=12.8814x107 m/s
B=1T q=50x1.6x10-19 C.
RSn=3.2060 m
For 120Snb:
M=1.991x10-25 kg v=13.0990x107 m/s
B=1T q=51x1.6x10-19 C.
RSb=3.1961 m
RSn-RSb=3.206-3.1961=9.9x10-3 m = 9.9 mm thus separated

creating magnetic field with current
 So far, we have seen that magnetic field can affect the motion of
charged particles.
 However, the reverse is also true: moving charge can create
magnetic fields.
 First seen by Hans Oersted who noted that a current through a wire
creates a magnetic field.
 A second right-hand rule can be used to find the direction of the
magnetic field
