RT 205 Electromagnetic Flashcards
Electrostatics
The branch of physics that deals with the force exerted by a static
Electric Field
An effect produced by an electric charge that exerts a force on charged objects in its vicinity
Fundamental Force
Material with the ability to attract iron
Orbital magnetic moment
Magnetic field perpendicular to the motion of a charged particle
Spin magnetic moment (Electron spin)
Magnetic effect established by electrons spinning on their axis
Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Disruption of the axial spinning and energy released as domains reorient themselves
Magnetic dipoles (aka Magnetic domains)
Groups of atoms with their net magnetic field moving in the same direction
(Theorized: about 10^15 atoms make up a dipole)
Magnetic Field (aka Lines of force (flux))
Force fields formed when magnetic dipoles orient to create a magnet
Lines of force always flow from ________ to _________ outside the magnet, and flow from ________ to _________ inside the magnet.
Flow from north to south outside the magnet
Flow from south to north within a magnet
SI unit: Lines of Force
Weber (Wb)
A magnet that is moved in space near a second magnet experiences a _____________.
Magnetic Field
The strength of the magnetic field is ________ when lines are closer, and ________ when they are farther apart.
Great when lines are closer, and weak when farther apart
Magnetic flux=
Field strength/area
Measure in Tesla (T) and Gauss (G)
1 Tesla= 10,000 G= 1 Wb/m^2
