Q

What is the formula to find the magnetic field for a Straight Current-Carrying Wire?

A

B = μoI/2πr

μo is a permeability constant = 1.26*10^-6 Tm/A

17
Q

What is the Formula to find the magnetic field for a Single and Multiple Loops?

A

B = μoI/2R

- For Multiple Loops = B = μoNI/2R

18
Q

What is the Formula to find the magnetic field for a Solenoids?

A

B = μoNI/L

  • The greater the ratio of N turns of wire, to the length L of so the solenoid (N/L) the STRONGER the field inside
  • The magnitude of the field is proportional to the current (I) in the solenoid
  • The field does not depend on the radius of the solenoid
19
Q

What do Electric Fields do?

A

Electric fields exert force on charges

F = qE

20
Q

What direction do positive charges accelerate in Electric Fields?

A

positive charges accelerate in the direction of the field (because electric fields are in the perspective of a proton)

21
Q

What direction do negative charges accelerate in Electric Fields?

A

negative charges accelerate in the direction opposite of the electric field

22
Q

Magnetic Fields do what?

A

Magnetic fields exert force on particles

F = vqB

23
Q

Magnetic Forces on Moving Charges: At Rest and Parallel?

A

There is NO magnetic force on a charged particle at rest, or on a charged particle moving parallel to a magnetic field

24
Q

Magnetic Forces on Moving Charges: perpendicular to Magnetic Force?

A

If (v) is perpendicular to to the plane containing (v) and (B)
- As the angle increases between the velocity and magnetic field, the Magnetic Force increases greatest when (90°)

25
Q

What is the Right Hand Rule to Determine the Direction of Magnetic Force?

A

F = |q|vBsinα

  1. Spread your fingers out so your index finger and thumb are perpendicular to each other
  2. Rotate your thumb in the direction of (v) and you index finger in the direction of (B)
  3. Now point you middle finger up, so it is perpendicular to your palm (it will point in the direction of v*B)
26
Q

if the Charge |q| is positive what happens?

A

if the Charge |q| is positive, F = |q|vBsinα points in the direction of (v*B)

27
Q

If the Charge |q| is negative what happens?

A

If the Charge |q| is negative, F = |q|vBsinα points in the direction opposite of (v*B)

28
Q

What is Uniform Circular Motion?

A

Uniform Circular motion is motion in a circle at a constant speed
- A charged particle moving perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field, undergoes uniform circular motion

29
Q

What is Helical Motion?

A

If the charged particles velocity is not perpendicular to the uniform magnetic field, The net result is a helical path that spirals around the field lines
-eg) Aurora Borealis

30
Q

What is an Electromagnetic Flowmeter?

A

Is a device that can be used to measure the blood flow in an artery
- it applies a magnetic field across the artery, which separates the positive and negative ions in the blood

31
Q

A Magnetic force on a Current?

A

The magnetic force is exerted on every moving charge in the wire
F = ILB or F = ILBsinα

32
Q

What are the forces between Current Loops?

A
  • There is an attractive force between parallel loops with current in the same direction
  • There is a repulsive force between parallel loops with a current in the opposite direction
33
Q

A current Loop in a Uniform Field?

A
  1. A current loop in a uniform magnetic field feels NO net force and instead experiences a TORQUE
    - Torque (T) = IABsinθ or T = μBsinθ
    μ = 1.0*10^-6
34
Q

What is an Area Vector?

A

The magnitude of the Area vector (A) is area (A) inside the loop

35
Q

What is a Magnetic Dipole Moment?

A

The Magnetic Dipole Moment is represented as a vector that points in the direction of the dipole’s field. A longer vector means a STRONGER field
- The magnitude of a Dipole Moment μ = IA

36
Q

The greater (wider) the parabola trajectory the…?

A

The greater the parabola trajectory the faster the velocity of the particle
