Magnetism Flashcards
Uniform magnetic field (B)
Have const magnitude + point in one direction in region in question
B vector
Out of page - dot
Into page - X
B lines
Describe strength + direction of B
Points from north to south
denser lines, greater strength of B at this point
Units of B
Tesla 1 T= 1 Ns/ mC
Gauss: 1 Gauss= 10^-4 Tesla used when in tesla very big #
Permeability of free space
Mju0
= 4 pi* 10^-7 N/ A^2
How B can be created?
In 2 ways:
- By moving qs
- By permanent magnet
B created by long, I carrying wire
Wire - symmetrical object. I flows in one direction with const magnitude.
B also symmetrical.
RHR: thumb along direction of I, fingers - direction of B- circular, concentric about wire
farther from wire, less intense B strength
B=(mj0*I/2pir) as r gets larger B drops. B dp to I
R -perpendicular distance fr wire
Gives magnitude of B at any perpendicular distance from wire
B created by circular wire loop
RHR for loop:
Thumb along direction of I in loop, curl fingers into loop- direction of B
At loop center B - const + flows straight through loop
B center of loop= m0I/2r, bigger loop, smaller B in center
Requirements for object to feel F due to B
- Must have non0 q
- Must be in motion
- Must not be moving parallel /anti parallel to direction of B
B has no effect on:
- neutral particles
- particles that move along / against direction of B
Magnetic F on q
F=qvB*sin terra
Terra - angle btwn v vector + B direction
When vector for v parallel to direction of B terra = 0, no magnetic F
In this formula do not need - sign for q
RHR for direction of magnetic F
Thumb in direction of v of particle, fingers in direction of B.
If + q, palm points in direction of F.
If- q, palm points away fr direction of magnetic F
Magnetic F on q
Always perpendicular to direction of travel + direction of B
q in B always accelerate perpendicular to direction of travel
W done by B - always 0
v of q stays const under B
q moving in uniform B
Moves in circle
F on q is towards center in centripetal motion
Newtons 2nd law for r of circle
Fmagnetic= ma
qvB=mv^2/r
R=mv/qB circle - larger for faster qs, smaller for strong Bs
Magnetic F on I carrying wire
F= ILB*sinterra
Terra -angle btwn B direction + direction of I
