Magnetic fields
Combinations of bar magnets and iron filings match these pretty diagrams… But these diagrams show to configurations of the electric field E. Are there identical configurations of the magnetic field B?
Magnetic fields
Yes, there are! Except for one big difference:
Magnetic fields
Yes, there are! Except for one big difference: There are no magnetic charges – no magnetic “monopoles” – only magnetic dipoles.
Magnetic fields
Yes, there are! Except for one big difference: There are no magnetic charges – no magnetic “monopoles” – only magnetic dipoles.
This difference is remarkable and even surprising, for at least two reasons:
1. Magnetic monopoles would make electromagnetism more symmetric – electricity and magnetism would be dual.

This difference is remarkable and even surprising, for at least two reasons:
1. Magnetic monopoles would make electromagnetism more symmetric – electricity and magnetism would be dual.
2. Theories that “unify” electromagnetism with the weak and strong nuclear forces predict magnetic monopoles. But recent searches for these magnetic monopoles have not found any.
The magnetic force on a moving charge
The relation between the electric field E and the electric force FE on a point charge q is a simple one: FE = q E.
The magnetic force on a moving charge
The relation between the magnetic field B and the magnetic force FB on a point charge q is more complicated: FB = q v×B , where v is the velocity of the moving charge.
The magnetic force on a moving charge
The relation between the magnetic field B and the magnetic force FB on a point charge q is more complicated: FB = q v×B , where v is the velocity of the moving charge.
• The force is proportional to q, including the sign of q.• The force is proportional to B.• The force is proportional to v.• When B and v are parallel, the force vanishes.• When B and v are not parallel, the force is perpendicular
to both of them, according to the right-hand rule:

Example 2: What are the units of the magnetic field B?
Answer: From the equation FB = q v×B we infer that the units
of B are (force) / (charge · meters per second); this unit is known as the tesla (T):

The magnetic force on a moving charge
Example 3: The white arc in this picture is light showing a beam of electrons in a uniform magnetic field. (The electrons collide with a dilute gas of atoms, which then radiate light.) Deduce the ratio e/m – where m is the mass of the electron – from the radius r of the arc and the magnitudes B and v.

Deduce the ratio e/m – where m is the mass of the electron – from the radius r of the arc and the magnitudes B and v. Answer: To move at speed v in a circular orbit of radius r, an electron must accelerate towards the center of the circle with acceleration a = v2/r. This acceleration must equal the force FB
on the electron divided by its mass m, hence a = FB/m = evB/m and we have v2/r = evB/m, therefore e/m = v/Br.
The magnetic force on a moving charge
Example 4: We have just seen that a point charge in a constant magnetic field moves in a circle. (More generally, it can move in a helix.) What is the angular frequency ω of its motion?

Example 4: We have just seen that a point charge in a constant magnetic field moves in a circle. (More generally, it can move in a helix.) What is the angular frequency ω of its motion?
Answer: The angular frequency is ω = v/r and we already obtained v2/r = qvB/m (for a particle of charge q and mass m); hence ω = qB/m. It is called the cyclotron frequency and it is independent of r and v. A cyclotron exploits this independence to accelerate many charged particles with different kinetic energies at the same time, via an electric field alternating with angular frequency ω. The kinetic energy of a particle increases in the electric field, as do v and r, but ω is unchanged.

The Lorentz force
We can combine FB and FE into the Lorentz force FEM , which
is the total electromagnetic force on a point charge q:
FEM = q ( E + v × B ) .
The Lorentz force
Example 1 (Hall effect): In 1879, E. Hall discovered that a magnetic field B normal to this conducting bar induces a potential ΔVH = vdrift Bd that is perpendicular to the current and to B. Why?

The Lorentz force
The magnetic field deflects electrons up, where they collect and produce an upward electric field E = E . The electron density there levels off when vdrift B = E. Since E = ΔVH/d, the
Hall potential is ΔVH = vdrift Bd. The direction of ΔVH shows
that the charge carriers are indeed negatively charged.

The Lorentz force
From Slide 33 of Lecture 5 we have vdrift = I/neA. Here A = td,
so vdrift = I/netd and ΔVH = vdrift Bd = IB/net and n = IB/et ΔVH .
Thus we can infer n from measurements of I, B, e, t and ΔVH.
The Lorentz force
Example 2: Crossed electric and magnetic fields can serve as a velocity selector. We have just seen, in the Hall effect, that the electric and magnetic forces on a point charge balance when the charge moves at the speed v such that E = vB. Only at this speed will charges move straight; at other speeds, the Lorentz force will deflect them.

Charges and currents in a uniform B field
Current in a wire is the motion of charges. Thus the magnetic force on a current-carrying wire is due to magnetic forces on all the charges in the wire.

Charges and currents in a uniform B field
Let’s consider an arbitrarily short element Δs of a current-
carrying wire with cross-sectional area A. Its volume is (A)
(Δs), so it contains n (A)(Δs) conduction electrons moving at
average velocity vdrift. Hence the magnetic force dFB on the
wire element is dFB = evdrift nA (Δs) × B, which we can write as
dFB = I Δs × B since I = evdrift nA.
The force FB on the whole wire is then an integral: . BsFF dId BB
Charges and currents in a uniform B field
The formula for the force FB on the whole wire is especially
simple when B is uniform (constant over space) because then we can take B out of the integral:

In a uniform magnetic field, the net magnetic force on any closed current loop is zero.

Torque on a current loop
A uniform magnetic field does not exert a force on a closed current loop, but it can exert a net torque!
Here is a top view of arectangular current loop lying in the plane of B.Sides 1 and 3 do not contribute; Sides 2 and 4 each contribute (IaB) × (b/2) to the torque τ, so τ = IBab = IBA, where A = ab is the area of the rectangle.

Whenever moves to the right of , the torque switches direction. The area vector A always tends to line up with B.
Defining the magnetic dipole moment of the current loop to be μ = IA, we can write τ = μ × B.

If we integrate τ dθ' starting from θ' = 0, we get the work due to the magnetic torque:
so the potential energy U of a magnetic dipole μ in a field B is U = –μ · B.

Answer: (a) For a circular orbit, the centripetal force must equal ma = m(v2/r) = mω2r. The magnetic force on the electron increases the centripetal force, so mω2r must increase. But the angular momentum mr2ω cannot change (because the forces are centripetal). Writing mω2r as
we see that ω must increase.
