Electric Field, Magnetic Field A charge will generate an electric

field around itself Any other charge (small positive test

charge) that enters the field will experience a force on it = electric force

Electric Field, Magnetic Field Same is true for a magnet or an

electric current (moving charge) Each of these produce a magnetic

field around them When another magnet or electric

current enters the magnetic field, it will experience a force on it

Direction of magnetic field is determined by relation to magnetic field of the earth

Magnetic Fields

Magnetic fields are produced by permanent magnets and by electric currents

Magnetic Field from Coil

Magnetic Field from Solenoid

Magnetic Field from a Loop of Wire

Magnetic Field from a Loop of Wire

Magnetic Field from a Straight Wire

Electric Field, Magnetic Field Magnets and electric currents

(moving charges) produce magnetic fields around them

When another magnet or electric current enters the magnetic field, it will experience a force on it

Using the right hand place the thumb in the direction of the current and the fingers in the direction of the magnetic field. The direction away from the palm is the direction of the resulting force.

Work Done by Magnetic Force None Since the magnetic force is always

perpendicular to the velocity, it cannot do work

Magnets in particle accelerators merely deflect or direct particles

Electric fields are used to increase the particle’s kinetic energy

Orsted’s Discovery

The magnitude of the magnetic field B created by the current in a wire varies linearly with the current in the wire and inversely with the perpendicular distance from the wire.

Fun Facts:

The Ampere is defined through the magnetic force between two parallel wires. If the force on a 1m length of two wires that are 1m apart and carrying equal currents is 2x10-7 N, then the current in each wire is defined to be 1 A.

Fun Facts:

The coulomb is defined in terms of the ampere as the amount of charge that flows past a certain point in a wire when a current of 1 A flows for 1 second.
