THEORYWeek 6
Magnetic FieldsInverse Square Law
Gauss’ LawBiot-Savart’s Law
A magnetic field is a vector field that exerts a magnetic force on
◦ moving electric charges and◦ magnetic dipoles (such as
permanent magnets).
When placed in a magnetic field, magnetic dipoles tend to align their axes to be parallel with the magnetic field
Magnetic Fields
iron filings in the presence of a magnet
The direction of the magnetic field near the poles of a magnet is revealed by placing compasses nearby.
The magnetic field points towards a magnet's south pole and away from its north pole.
Poles
Like poles repel each other Opposite poles attract each other
Attraction and Repulsion
Earth’s Magnetic Field
First measured by Gauss The locations are not
static Poles wander as much as
15 km every year
There is a magnetic field in deep space
Interplanetary Magnetic Field
Earth’s magnetic field deflects most of the radiation from solar flares
Solar flares have a period of 11 years
2012
The magnetic south pole is about 11o from true north
True North
The force between two magnetic poles is given by:
where
◦ qm1 and qm2 are the magnitudes of magnetic poles (A m)
◦ μ is the permeability of the intervening medium (N / A2) ◦ r is the separation (m)
Inverse Square Law
Suppose that two bar magnets of equal length L are placed end-to-end along the x axis.
L
x Show that
F = μ (qm)2 / (4 π) –1 [ x –2 + (x + 2L) –2 – 2(x +L) –2 ]
Exercise
In theory, a magnet can be viewed as a ferromagnetic body with “bound” surface currents that generate the magnetic field much like a solenoid does.
Equivalence
Magnetic fields are created by◦ magnetic dipoles,◦ electric currents, and◦ changing electric fields.
The magnetic field is characterized by the B and H vectors. Both are related by the permeability (or magnetic constant) μ of the medium
Field Intensity and Flux Density
The vector field H is known as the magnetic field intensity or magnetic field strength: ◦ H is measured in Amperes per meter (A/m).
The vector field B is known as magnetic flux density or magnetic induction or simply magnetic field:◦ B has the units of Teslas (T), equivalent to Webers
per square meter (Wb/m²) or volt-seconds per square meter (V s/m²).
Units
Magnetic sources are inherently dipole sources
So far we know, one cannot isolate north or south "monopoles“
Magnetic Mopoles
An electric charge e in motion generates a magnetic field B
A monopole g in motion would generate an electric field E
Broken Duality
Nobel Prize
Magnetic field lines always form continuous closed loops. The differential form for Gauss' law for magnetism is the following:
Gauss’ Law for Magnetism
The integral form of Gauss' law for magnetism states that
where
◦ S is any closed surface (a "closed surface" is the boundary of some three-dimensional volume)
◦ dA is a vector, whose magnitude is the area of an infinitesimal piece of the surface S, and whose direction is the outward-pointing surface normal.
Gauss’ Law for Magnetism
The solar wind exerts pressure on the magnetic field of the Earth.
As a result the field is compressed on the side toward the sun and is dragged into space on the side away from the sun.
On the extended side, the magnetic field lines extend beyond 100 Earth radii.
What is the divergence of the field on either side of the Earth?
Exercise
The left-hand side of this equation is called the net flux of the magnetic field Φ out of the surface, and Gauss' law for magnetism states that it is always zero.
The integral and differential forms of Gauss' law for magnetism are mathematically equivalent, due to the divergence theorem.
Gauss’ Law for Magnetism
The magnetic field intensity generated by a small current loop of radius a located at the center of the x-y plane is given by
H = Ia2 (aR 2 cos θ + aθ sin θ) / 4R3
Show that net flux coming out of a Gaussian spherical surface is zero.
Exercise
Magnetostatics is the study of static magnetic fields produced by direct currents.
If all the currents in a system are known, then the magnetic field can be determined from the currents by the Biot-Savart equation.
The Biot–Savart law is used to compute the magnetic field generated by a steady current, for example through a wire, which is constant in time and in which charge is neither building up nor depleting at any point.
Magnetostatics
The corresponding integral form is
where
I is the current dl is the differential element of the wire in the direction
of conventional current r is the distance between the element and the
observation point P
Biot-Savart’s Law
The application of this law implicitly relies on the superposition principle for magnetic fields:◦ the magnetic field is a vector sum of
the field created by each infinitesimal section I dl of the wire individually.
Choose a point P in space at which you want to compute the magnetic field.
Holding that point fixed, integrate over the path of the current to find the total magnetic field at that point.
Procedure
In 1820 Biot and Savart announced that the magnetic force exerted by a long conductor on a magnetic pole falls off with the reciprocal of the distance and is orientated perpendicular to the wire.
