Magnetic Fields and Earth's Magnetism

History of Magnetism
In 1269, Pierre de Maricourt of France found that
the directions of a needle near a spherical natural
magnet formed lines that encircled the sphere
and passed through two points diametrically
opposite each other, which he called the poles of
the magnet. Subsequent experiments showed that
every magnet, regardless of its shape, has two
poles, called North (N) and (S) poles, that exert
forces on other magnetic poles similar to the way
electric charges exert forces on one another. That
is, like poles (N-N or S-S) repel each other, and
opposite poles (N-S) attract each other
Magnetic Fields and Forces
In our study of
electricity, we described
the interactions
between charged
objects in terms of
electric fields. Recall
that an electric field
surrounds any electric
charge. In addition to
containing an electric
field, the region of
space surrounding any
moving electric charge
also contains a
magnetic field.
Earths Magnetic Field Lines
and Poles
Earth’s Poles
When we speak of a compass magnet
having a north pole and a south pole, it is
more proper to say that it has a “north
seeking” pole and a “south seeking” pole.
This wording means that the north seeking
pole points to the north geographic pole
of the Earth, whereas the south seeking
pole points to the south geographic pole.
Direction of the Earth’s
Magnetic Field
The direction of the Earth’s magnetic field
has reversed several times during the last
million years. Evidence for this reversal is
provided by basalt, a type of rock on the
ocean floor. As the lava cools, it solidifies
and retains a picture of the Earth’s
magnetic field direction
Magnetic Field
We can define a magnetic field, B, at some
point in space in terms of the magnetic force,
F, the field exerts on a charged particle
moving with a velocity v, which we call the
test object.
For the time being, let’s assume no electric or
gravitational fields are present at the location
of the test object. Experiments on various
charged particles moving in a magnetic field
give the following results.
Properties of the magnetic
force on a charged particle
moving in a magnetic field
The magnetic F of the magnetic force
exerted on the particle is proportional to the
charge q and to the speed v of the particle.
When a charged particle moves parallel to
the magnetic field vector, the magnetic force
acting on the particle is zero
When the particles velocity vector makes any
angle
Θ
≠ 0 with the magnetic field, the
magnetic force acts in a direction
perpendicular to both v and B; that is, F is
perpendicular to the plane formed by v and
B.
Properties of the Magnetic
Force Continued
The magnetic force exerted on a positive
charge is in the direction opposite the
direction of the magnetic force exerted
on a negative charge moving in the same
direction.
The magnitude of the magnetic force
exerted on the moving particle is
proportional to sin theta, where theta is
the angle the particle’s velocity vector
makes with the direction of B.

Velocity Selector
In many experiments involving moving
charged particles, it is important that all
particles move with essentially the same
velocity, which can be achieved by
applying a combination of an electric
field and a magnetic field oriented.
Velocity Selector
If a uniform electric field is directed to the
right and a uniform magnetic field is
applied in the direction perpendicular to
the electric field and if q is positive and
the velocity is upward, the magnetic
force is to the left and the electric force is
to the right.

Magnetic Force Acting on a
Current Carrying Conductor
If a magnetic force is exerted on a single charged
particle when the particle moves through a
magnetic field, it should not surprise you that a
current-carrying wire also experiences a force
when placed in a magnetic field. The current is a
collection of many charged particles in motion;
hence, the resultant force exerted by the field on
the wire is the vector sum of the individual forces
exerted on all charged particles making up the
current. The force exerted on the particles is
transmitted to the wire when the particles collide
with the atoms making up the wire.

The Hall Effect
When a current-carrying conductor is
placed in a magnetic field, a potential
difference is generated in a direction
perpendicular to bot the current and the
magnetic field.
This phenomenon, first observed by Edwin
Hall (1855-1938) in 1879, is known as the
Hall effect.

In addition to containing an electric field, the region of space surrounding any moving electric charge also contains a magnetic field.
Earths Magnetic Field Lines and Poles
Earths Poles When we speak of a compass magnet having a north pole and a south pole, it is more proper to say that it has a north seeking pole and a south seeking pole. This wording means that the north seeking pole points to the north geographic pole of the Earth, whereas the south seeking pole points to the south geographic pole.
Direction of the Earths Magnetic Field The direction of the Earth s magnetic field has reversed several times during the last million years. Evidence for this reversal is provided by basalt, a type of rock on the ocean floor. As the lava cools, it solidifies and retains a picture of the Earth s magnetic field direction
Magnetic Field We can define a magnetic field, B, at some point in space in terms of the magnetic force, F, the field exerts on a charged particle moving with a velocity v, which we call the test object. For the time being, let s assume no electric or gravitational fields are present at the location of the test object. Experiments on various charged particles moving in a magnetic field give the following results.
Properties of the magnetic force on a charged particle moving in a magnetic field The magnetic F of the magnetic force exerted on the particle is proportional to the charge q and to the speed v of the particle. When a charged particle moves parallel to the magnetic field vector, the magnetic force acting on the particle is zero When the particles velocity vector makes any angle 0 with the magnetic field, the magnetic force acts in a direction perpendicular to both v and B; that is, F is perpendicular to the plane formed by v and B.
Properties of the Magnetic Force Continued The magnetic force exerted on a positive charge is in the direction opposite the direction of the magnetic force exerted on a negative charge moving in the same direction. The magnitude of the magnetic force exerted on the moving particle is proportional to sin theta, where theta is the angle the particle s velocity vector makes with the direction of B.

SI Unit of Magnetic Field - Tesla The SI unit of magnetic field is the newton per coulomb-meter per second, which is called the tesla (T). ? 1? = 1( ) ? ? ? Because a coulomb per second is defined to be an ampere: ? 1? = 1 ( ? ?)
Velocity Selector In many experiments involving moving charged particles, it is important that all particles move with essentially the same velocity, which can be achieved by applying a combination of an electric field and a magnetic field oriented.
Velocity Selector If a uniform electric field is directed to the right and a uniform magnetic field is applied in the direction perpendicular to the electric field and if q is positive and the velocity is upward, the magnetic force is to the left and the electric force is to the right.
Velocity Selector When the magnitudes of the two fields are chosen so that qE = qvB, the charged particle is modeled as a particle in equilibrium and moves in a straight vertical line through the region of the fields. From the expression qE = qvB, we find that: ? = ?/?
Magnetic Force Acting on a Current Carrying Conductor If a magnetic force is exerted on a single charged particle when the particle moves through a magnetic field, it should not surprise you that a current-carrying wire also experiences a force when placed in a magnetic field. The current is a collection of many charged particles in motion; hence, the resultant force exerted by the field on the wire is the vector sum of the individual forces exerted on all charged particles making up the current. The force exerted on the particles is transmitted to the wire when the particles collide with the atoms making up the wire.

Torque on a Current Loop in a Uniform Magnetic Field Earlier we showed how a magnetic force is exerted on a current-carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field. With that as a starting point, we now show that a torque is exerted on a current loop placed in a magnetic field. ? = ?? ? ?
The Hall Effect When a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, a potential difference is generated in a direction perpendicular to bot the current and the magnetic field. This phenomenon, first observed by Edwin Hall (1855-1938) in 1879, is known as the Hall effect.
