Magnetism
Magnets

Poles of a magnet are the ends where objects
are most strongly attracted


Like poles repel each other and unlike poles
attract each other


Two poles, called north and south
Similar to electric charges
Magnetic poles cannot be isolated



If a permanent magnetic is cut in half repeatedly, you
will still have a north and a south pole
This differs from electric charges
There is some theoretical basis for monopoles, but
none have been detected

Dip Angle of Earth’s Magnetic
Field
If a compass is free to rotate vertically as well
as horizontally, it points to the earth’s surface
 The angle between the horizontal and the
direction of the magnetic field is called the

dip angle

The farther north the device is moved, the farther
from horizontal the compass needle would be


The compass needle would be horizontal at the equator
and the dip angle would be 0°
The compass needle would point straight down at the
south magnetic pole and the dip angle would be 90°
More About the Earth’s
Magnetic Poles

The dip angle of 90° is found at a point just
north of Hudson Bay in Canada


This is considered to be the location of the south
magnetic pole
The magnetic and geographic poles are not in
the same exact location

The difference between true north, at the
geographic north pole, and magnetic north is
called the magnetic declination

The amount of declination varies by location on the
earth’s surface
Earth’s Magnetic Declination
Source of the Earth’s Magnetic
Field
There cannot be large masses of
permanently magnetized materials since
the high temperatures of the core
prevent materials from retaining
permanent magnetization
 The most likely source of the Earth’s
magnetic field is believed to be electric
currents in the liquid part of the core

Reversals of the Earth’s
Magnetic Field

QUICK QUIZ 19.1
A charged particle moves in a straight
line through a certain region of space.
The magnetic field in that region (a) has a
magnitude of zero, (b) has a zero
component perpendicular to the particle's
velocity, or (c) has a zero component
parallel to the particle's velocity.
QUICK QUIZ 19.1 ANSWER
(b). The force that a magnetic field
exerts on a charged particle moving
through it is given by F = qvB sin θ =
qvB , where B is the component of the
field perpendicular to the particle’s
velocity. Since the particle moves in a
straight line, the magnetic force (and
hence B , since qv ≠ 0) must be zero.
QUICK QUIZ 19.2
The north-pole end of a bar magnet is
held near a stationary positively charged
piece of plastic. Is the plastic (a)
attracted, (b) repelled, or (c) unaffected
by the magnet?
QUICK QUIZ 19.2 ANSWER
(c). The magnetic force exerted by
a magnetic field on a charge is
proportional to the charge’s velocity
relative to the field. If the charge is
stationary, as in this situation, there
is no magnetic force.


Applies to any shape

N is the number of
turns in the coil
Electric Motor

An electric motor
converts electrical
energy to mechanical
energy


The mechanical energy is
in the form of rotational
kinetic energy
An electric motor
consists of a rigid
current-carrying loop
that rotates when
placed in a magnetic
field
Electric Motor, 2
The torque acting on the loop will tend
to rotate the loop to smaller values of θ
until the torque becomes 0 at θ = 0°
 If the loop turns past this point and the
current remains in the same direction,
the torque reverses and turns the loop
in the opposite direction

Electric Motor, 3

To provide continuous rotation in one
direction, the current in the loop must
periodically reverse
In ac motors, this reversal naturally occurs
 In dc motors, a split-ring commutator and
brushes are used


Actual motors would contain many current
loops and commutators
Electric Motor, final

Just as the loop becomes perpendicular
to the magnetic field and the torque
becomes 0, inertia carries the loop
forward and the brushes cross the gaps
in the ring, causing the current loop to
reverse its direction
This provides more torque to continue the
rotation
 The process repeats itself

Force on a Charged Particle in
a Magnetic Field
Consider a particle moving
in an external magnetic
field so that its velocity is
perpendicular to the field
 The force is always
directed toward the center
of the circular path
 The magnetic force
causes a centripetal
acceleration, changing the
direction of the velocity of
the particle

Force on a Charged Particle

particle and inversely proportional to the
magnetic field
QUICK QUIZ 19.3
As a charged particle moves freely in a
circular path in the presence of a constant
magnetic field applied perpendicular to
the particle's velocity, its kinetic energy
(a) remains constant, (b) increases, or (c)
decreases.
QUICK QUIZ 19.3 ANSWER
(a). The magnetic force acting on the
particle is always perpendicular to the
velocity of the particle, and hence to the
displacement the particle is undergoing.
Under these conditions, the force does no
work on the particle and the particle’s
kinetic energy remains constant.
QUICK QUIZ 19.4
Two charged particles are projected into a region
in which a magnetic field is perpendicular to
their velocities. After they enter the magnetic
field, you can conclude that (a) the charges are
deflected in opposite directions, (b) the charges
continue to move in a straight line, (c) the
charges move in circular paths, or (d) the
charges move in circular paths but in opposite
directions.
QUICK QUIZ 19.4 ANSWER
(c). Anytime the velocity of a charged
particle is perpendicular to the magnetic
field, it will follow a circular path. The two
particles will move in opposite directions
around their circular paths if their charges
have opposite signs, but their charges are
unknown so (d) is not an acceptable
answer.


If a long straight wire is
bent into a coil of
several closely spaced

It is also known as an
electromagnet since it
acts like a magnet only
when it carries a

Magnetic Effects of Electrons - Orbits

An individual atom should act like a magnet
because of the motion of the electrons about
the nucleus



Each electron circles the atom once in about every
10-16 seconds
This would produce a current of 1.6 mA and a
magnetic field of about 20 T at the center of the
circular path
However, the magnetic field produced by one
electron in an atom is often canceled by an
oppositely revolving electron in the same
atom
Magnetic Effects of Electrons
– Orbits, cont

The net result is that the magnetic
effect produced by electrons orbiting
the nucleus is either zero or very small
for most materials
Magnetic Effects of Electrons - Spins

Electrons also have
spin


The classical model
is to consider the
electrons to spin like
tops
It is actually a
relativistic and
quantum effect
Magnetic Effects of Electrons
– Spins, cont
The field due to the spinning is
generally stronger than the field due to
the orbital motion
 Electrons usually pair up with their
spins opposite each other, so their
fields cancel each other


That is why most materials are not
naturally magnetic
Magnetic Effects of Electrons - Domains

In some materials, the spins do not naturally
cancel

Such materials are called ferromagnetic
Large groups of atoms in which the spins are
aligned are called domains
 When an external field is applied, the
domains that are aligned with the field tend
to grow at the expense of the others


This causes the material to become magnetized
Domains, cont
Random alignment, a, shows an
unmagnetized material
 When an external field is applied, the
domains aligned with B grow, b

Domains and Permanent
Magnets

In hard magnetic materials, the domains
remain aligned after the external field is
removed

The result is a permanent magnet


In soft magnetic materials, once the external field is
removed, thermal agitation cause the materials to
quickly return to an unmagnetized state
With a core in a loop, the magnetic field is
enhanced since the domains in the core
material align, increasing the magnetic field

Induced Voltages and
Inductance
Induced emf

A current can be produced by a changing
magnetic field

First shown in an experiment by Michael Faraday


A primary coil is connected to a battery
A secondary coil is connected to an ammeter
Faraday’s Experiment
The purpose of the secondary circuit is to
detect current that might be produced by the
magnetic field
 When the switch is closed, the ammeter
deflects in one direction and then returns to
zero
 When the switch is opened, the ammeter
deflects in the opposite direction and then
returns to zero
 When there is a steady current in the primary
circuit, the ammeter reads zero

Faraday’s Conclusions
An electrical current is produced by a
changing magnetic field
 The secondary circuit acts as if a source
of emf were connected to it for a short
time
 It is customary to say that an induced

emf is produced in the secondary circuit
by the changing magnetic field
Magnetic Flux
The emf is actually induced by a change in
the quantity called the magnetic flux rather
than simply by a change in the magnetic field
 Magnetic flux is defined in a manner similar
to that of electrical flux
 Magnetic flux is proportional to both the
strength of the magnetic field passing
through the plane of a loop of wire and the
area of the loop

Magnetic Flux, 2




You are given a loop of
wire
The wire is in a uniform
magnetic field B
The loop has an area A
The flux is defined as

ΦB = BA = B A cos θ

θ is the angle between
B and the normal to the
plane
Magnetic Flux, 3


When the field is perpendicular to the plane of the
loop, as in a, θ = 0 and ΦB = ΦB, max = BA
When the field is parallel to the plane of the loop, as
in b, θ = 90° and ΦB = 0


The flux can be negative, for example if θ = 180°
SI units of flux are T m² = Wb (Weber)
Magnetic Flux, final

The flux can be visualized with respect to
magnetic field lines

The value of the magnetic flux is proportional to
the total number of lines passing through the loop
When the area is perpendicular to the lines,
the maximum number of lines pass through
the area and the flux is a maximum
 When the area is parallel to the lines, no lines
pass through the area and the flux is 0

toward a loop of wire, the
ammeter shows the
presence of a current (a)
When the magnet is held
stationary, there is no
current (b)
When the magnet moves
away from the loop, the
ammeter shows a current
in the opposite direction (c)
If the loop is moved
instead of the magnet, a
current is also detected
Electromagnetic Induction –
Results of the Experiment

A current is set up in the circuit as long
as there is relative motion between the
magnet and the loop


The same experimental results are found
whether the loop moves or the magnet
moves
The current is called an induced current
because is it produced by an induced
emf
Faraday’s Law and
Electromagnetic Induction


The instantaneous emf induced in a circuit
equals the time rate of change of
magnetic flux through the circuit
If a circuit contains N tightly wound loops
and the flux changes by ΔΦ during a time
interval Δt, the average emf induced is
given by Faraday’s Law:
 B
  N
t
Faraday’s Law and Lenz’ Law

The change in the flux, ΔΦ, can be produced
by a change in B, A or θ


Since ΦB = B A cos θ
The negative sign in Faraday’s Law is included to
indicate the polarity of the induced emf, which is
found by Lenz’ Law


The polarity of the induced emf is such that it produces
a current whose magnetic field opposes the change in
magnetic flux through the loop
That is, the induced current tends to maintain the
original flux through the circuit

The figure below is a graph of magnitude B versus time t for a magnetic
field that passes through a fixed loop and is oriented perpendicular to the
plane of the loop. Rank the magnitudes of the emf generated in the loop at
the three instants indicated (a, b, c), from largest to smallest.

rate of change of the magnetic field
(hence, proportional to the slope of the
curve shown on the graph).
Lenz’ Law Revisited – Moving
Bar Example
As the bar moves to the
right, the magnetic flux
through the circuit
increases with time
because the area of the
loop increases
 The induced current must
in a direction such that it
opposes the change in the
external magnetic flux

Lenz’ Law, Bar Example, cont
The flux due to the external field in increasing
into the page
 The flux due to the induced current must be
out of the page
 Therefore the current must be
counterclockwise when the bar moves to the
right

Lenz’ Law, Bar Example, final
The bar is moving
toward the left
 The magnetic flux
through the loop is
decreasing with time
 The induced current
must be clockwise to
to produce its own
flux into the page

Lenz’ Law Revisited,
Conservation of Energy
Assume the bar is moving to the right
 Assume the induced current is clockwise





The magnetic force on the bar would be to the
right
The force would cause an acceleration and the
velocity would increase
This would cause the flux to increase and the
current to increase and the velocity to increase…
This would violate Conservation of Energy
and so therefore, the current must be
counterclockwise
Lenz’ Law, Moving Magnet
Example

A bar magnet is moved to the right toward a
stationary loop of wire (a)


As the magnet moves, the magnetic flux increases with time
The induced current produces a flux to the left, so
the current is in the direction shown (b)
Lenz’ Law, Final Note

When applying Lenz’ Law, there are two
magnetic fields to consider
The external changing magnetic field that
induces the current in the loop
 The magnetic field produced by the current
in the loop

Generators

energy
 Consists of a wire loop rotated by some
external means


These may include falling water, heat by
burning coal to produce steam
AC Generators, cont

Basic operation of the
generator




As the loop rotates, the
magnetic flux through it
changes with time
This induces an emf and a
current in the external
circuit
The ends of the loop are
connected to slip rings that

Connections to the external


ε = εmax when loop is parallel

ε = 0 when when the loop is
perpendicular to the field
DC Generators
Components are
essentially the same


A motor is a generator run in reverse
A motor can perform useful mechanical
work when a shaft connected to its
rotating coil is attached to some
external device
Motors and Back emf
The phrase back emf is
used for an emf that
tends to reduce the
applied current
 When a motor is turned
on, there is no back emf
initially
 The current is very
large because it is
limited only by the
resistance of the coil

Motors and Back emf, cont
As the coil begins to rotate, the induced
back emf opposes the applied voltage
 The current in the coil is reduced
 The power requirements for starting a
motor and for running it under heavy
loads are greater than those for running
the motor under average loads

