Magnetic field lines and magnetic flux The magnetic field is a vector field We can introduce magnetic field lines in the same we introduced electric field lines Let’s recall: Properties of field lines: -Imaginary curve such that tangent at any point is along the B-field in this point -density of field lines in a given region allows to picture the magnitude of the B-field At any particular point in space the B-field has a well defined direction Only one field line can pass through each point Field lines never cross Anything new Click Wastson Magnetic field lines are not force lines ! So what do they visualize then: Magnetic field lines have the direction that a compass needle would point at each location Examples of magnetic field lines Current through wire Right hand rule gives direction of field Permanent magnet Clicker question What happens if you cut a permanent magnet in half? 1) You get a separate north pole and south pole similar to electric plus and minus charges 2) There is no magnetic charge. Any permanent magnet has two poles, if you cut a magnetic dipole in half you end up with two dipoles. Magnetic flux The magnetic field is a vector field we can define a magnetic flux Remember: Flux : scalar quantity, , which results from a surface integration over a vector field. B B d A A vector field surface magnetic flux through surface The SI unit of magnetic flux B [ B][ A] T m 2 Wb Wb read Weber in honor of Wilhelm Weber Is there something like Gauss’ law for magnetic flux Yes, and it surprisingly simple with deep fundamental meaning Remember Gauss law for electric flux and let’s apply it by enclosing electric dipoles: Since the total enclosed charge is zero we have E E dA Qenclosed 0 0 has never been observed (and that is why physicists keep looking for it -> “I want my Nobel prize” ) Since there is no such thing as magnetic monopoles B dA 0 The magnetic flux through any closed surface is zero (magnetic monopoles have never been observed, magnetic field lines always close ) If you don’t feel sufficiently confused yet read also “Have physicists seen magnetic monopoles?” Magnetic force on a current carrying conductor Let’s consider a conducting wire carrying a current I=jA in a B-Field to the current density vector j Lorentz force on an individual charge q with drift velocity vd (remember Drude model) reads F qvd B For N charges we have therefore a total force F Nqvd B In the wire of volume V=l A we have N=n lA charges q F nlAqvd B using the transport expression for the current density j j qnvd vd qn F l Aj B I F I l B If B makes an angle with the wire F I l B sin F I l B Where l is a vector pointing in the direction of the current and has the magnitude l If the conductor is not straight consider infinitesimal short segments contributing with d F I dl B F dF Example: Magnetic force on a curved conductor Let’s find the total magnetic force on the conductor Start with the straight segment: l le x B Be z ex e y l B l 0 0 0 F straight IlBe y ez 0 lBe y B Curved part: r R cos ,sin ,0 dr d d R cos ,sin ,0 d d d dl R sin ,cos ,0 d ex ey dl F curved d F I d R sin 0 0 R cos 0 ez 0 B I d RB cos e x RB sin e y IRBe x sin 0 F total IB l 2R e y 0 IRBe y cos 2 IRBe y The force a straight wire of length l+2R would experience. That makes sense when considering the symmetry. Luke, the Force runs strong in your family. Pass on what you have learned.
