The Magnetic Field
• The electric field proves a useful concept to
explain the effects of charge at a distance
(explains how one charge knows another
charge is there).
• Stationary charges produce only an electric
field
• Moving charges (in flux) produce both an
electric field and a magnetic field

Motors
• Motors work due to two major
principles
1. Opposite poles attract while
like poles repel
2. Current running through a
coiled wire creates a magnet

Faraday’s Law of Induction
The voltage induced in a coil
is proportional to the number
of coils times the magnetic
flux (rate at which the
magnetic field changes)
Wrap Rule to find Magnetic Field
1. Wrap your fingers in the direction of the current
2. The magnetic field points in the direction of the thumb (to
the left)
3. Since the field lines leave the left end of solenoid, the left
end is the North pole

• An ammeter is connected in a circuit of a conducting
loop
• When a bar magnet is moved closer to, or farther from,
the loop, an electromotive force (emf) is induced the
loop
• The ammeter indicates currents in different directions
depending on the relative motion of magnet and loop
• When the magnet stops moving, the current returns to
zero as indicated by the ammeter

Solenoids
The magnetic field of a solenoid is essentially
identical to that of a bar magnet.
The big difference is that we can turn the solenoid
on and off ! It attracts/repels other permanent
magnets; it attracts ferromagnets, etc.
Solenoid Applications
Digital [on/off]:
– Doorbells
Magnet off  plunger held in place by spring
Magnet on  plunger expelled  strikes bell
– Power door locks
– Magnetic cranes
– Electronic Switch “relay”
Close switch
 current
 magnetic field pulls in plunger
 closes larger circuit
Advantage:
A small current can be used
to switch a much larger one
– Starter in washer/dryer, car
ignition, …
Solenoid Applications
Analog (deflection α I ):
– Variable A/C valves
– Speakers
Solenoids are everywhere!
In fact, a typical car has over 20 solenoids!

Thanks to
MRI / NMR
If we “bathe” the protons in radio waves at a particular
frequency, the protons can flip back and forth.
If we detect this flipping  hydrogen!
The presence of other molecules can partially shield the
applied magnetic field, thus changing the resonant
frequency (“chemical shift”).
Looking at what the resonant frequency is  what molecules are
nearby.
If a strong magnetic field gradient is produced across the
sample, can look at individual slices, with ~millimeter
spatial resolution.

Bigger B

Signal at the right frequency only from this slice!
