Magnetic fields add as vectors, currents – as scalars
Just as with the integral form of Gauss’s law, the integral form of Ampere’s law is powerful to use in symmetric situations

Magnetic materials
When materials are placed in a magnetic field, they get
magnetized.
In majority of materials, the magnetic effects are small. Some however show strong responses.
The small magnetism is of two kinds:
• Diamagnetics are repelled from magnetic fields
• Paramagnetics are attracted towards magnetic fields
This is unlike the electric effect in matter, which always causes dielectrics to be attracted.

Magnetic effects have to do with microscopic currents
(magnetic moments) at the atomic level such as the
orbital motion of electrons:

Magnetization of a substance is its magnetic moment per unit volume
(similar to polarization in case of dielectrics in electric fields)

Magnetization
• Diamagnetism occurs in substances where magnetic moments inside atoms all cancel out, the net magnetic moment of the atom is zero. The induced magnetic moment is directed opposite to the applied field. Diamagnetism is weakly dependent on T.
• Diamagnetic (induced atomic moment) effect is overcome in paramagnetic materials, whose atoms have uncompensated magnetic moments. These moments align with the applied field to enhance the latter. Temperature T wants to destroy alignment, hence a strong (1/T) dependence.
Magnetic effects are a completely quantum-mechanical phenomenon, although some classical physics arguments can be made.

Example: Magnetic dipoles in a paramagnetic material
Nitric oxide (NO) is a paramagnetic compound. Its molecules have maximum magneticmoment of ~ . In a magnetic field B=1.5 Tesla, compare the interaction energy of themagnetic moments with the field to the average translational kinetic energy of the moleculesat T=300 K.

Ferromagnetism
Alignment of magnetic domains in applied field
• In ferromagnetic materials, in addition to atoms having uncompensated magnetic moments, these moments strongly interact between
themselves.
• Strongly nonlinear behavior with remnant
magnetization left when the applied field is lifted.
Permeability Km is much larger, ~1,000 to 100,000
Hysteresis and Permanent Magnets
Magnetization value depends on the “history” of applied magnetic field

Experiments leading to Faraday’s Law
Electromagnetic Induction – Time-varying magnetic field creates electric field
Changing Magnetic Flux
No current in the electromagnet – B=0 - galvanometer shows no current.
When magnet is turned on – momentarily current appears as B increases.
When B reaches steady value – current disappears no matterhow strong B field is.
If we squeeze the coil as to change its area – current appearsbut only while we are deforming the coil.
If we rotate the coil, current appears but only while we arerotating it.
If we start displacing the coil out of the magnetic field – current appears while the coil is in motion.
If we decrease/increase the number of loops in the coil – current appears during winding/unwinding of the turns.
If we turn off the magnet – current appears while the magnetic field is being disappearing
The faster we carry out all those changes- the greater the current is.
