  1. MAGNETIC EFFECT OF CURRENT & MAGNETISM INTRODUCTION The molecular theory of magnetism was given by Weber and modified later by Ewing. Oersted, in 1820 observed that a magnetic field is associated with an electric current. Since, current is due to motion of charges, it becomes mandatory to conclude that it is the moving charge which creates the field. Magneoc hes of MAGNET Two bodies even after being neutral (showing no electric interaction) may attract / repel strongly if they have a special property. This property is known as magnetism. This force is called magnetic force. Those bodies are called magnets. One end of the magnet (say A) is directed approximately towards north and the other end (say B) approximately towards south. This observation is made everywhere on the earth. Due to this reason the end A, which points towards north direction is called NORTH POLE and the other end which points towards south direction is called SOUTH POLE. They can be marked as 'N' and 'S' on the magnet. Pole strength magnetic dipole and magnetic dipole moment : A magnet always has 'N' and 'S' and it is poles of two magnets repel each other and the anile poles of two magnets attract each other they from action reaction pair.

Figure shows the infinitesimal contribution to the field, dB from an arbitrary current element. In order to integrate contributions of all the elements, we use the angle u, measure from the perpendicular, as the variable. From the diagram we see that Idl x F I = dl sin 0 = dl sin (E + u) = dl cos u 2 Since I = R tan u, we have dl = R sec2 u du. Furthermore, r = R sec u On substituting these expression into equation and integrating we find COSU du Viol (sin 011 + sin 012) 411 R Note: Those angles on opposite sides of the perpendicular are assigned opposite signs. This ensures that the contributions from either side of the wire add together rather than subtract. For an infinite wire, the limits of integration are —11/2 to +11/2. Thus 2TtR (iv) Idlt Calculating the magnetic field produced by a long straight wire we may use the angle as the variable. MAGNETIC FIELD DUE TO A CIRCULAR LOOP (d) B due to a current carrying circular loop (i) At centre : Due to each dt element of the loop B at 'C' is inwards (in this case) YONI N— number of turns in the loop Direction of B : The direction of the magnetic field at the centre of a circular wire can be obtained using the right hand thumb rule. If the fingers are curled along the current, the stretched thumb will point towards the magnetic field.
  3. (ii) (iii) Another way to find the direction is to look into the loop along its axis. If the current is in anticlockwise direction, the magnetic field is towards the viewer. If the current is in clockwise direction, the field is away from the viewer.

The current is leaving the loop along another similar semi-infinite conductor parallel to the plane of the loop through the other opposite end D of the diameter.

The statement fB..dC does not necessarily mean that B —O everywhere along the path but only that no nett current is passing through the path Sign of current: The current due to which B is produced in the same sense as dC i.e. B.dC positive will be taken positive and the current which produces B in the sense opposite to dC will be negative.

  6. Note: (b) (iv) (v) qvBsin0, where 0 is angle between V and B F is perpendicular to both V and B Since F is perpendicular to V, power due to magnetic force on a charge particle is zero Since the work done by magnetic force is zero in every part of the motion, the magnetic force cannot increase or decrease the speed (or kinetic energy) of a charged particle. It can only change the direction of velocity. On a stationary charged particle, magnetic force is zero. If V Il B, then also magnetic force on charged particle is zero. It moves along a straight line if only magnetic field is acting. Motion of charged particles under the effect of magnetic force If particle is at rest Fm = O . particle will remain at rest V Il B here or 0 = 1800 v = constant particle will move in a straight line with constant velocity If V is perpendicular to B and B is uniform Fm = qvB Since Fm is always perpendicular to v path of charged x x x x x x x x particle will be a circle 2mK mv p where, p — momentum potential. 21tm o qB m Note: 2qVm of particle; 27tm K kinetic energy of particle; x x x accelerating (1) The plane of the circle is perpendicular to magnetic field. If the magnetic field is along z-direction, the circular path is in x —y plane. The speed of the particle does not change in magnetic field. Hence, if vo be the particle, then velocity of particle at any instant of time will be V=vxi+v j where v x2 + v 2 = v 02 (iv) (2) T, f and c,) are independent of v while the radius is directly proportional to v. Angle between V and B is other than 00, 900, or 1800 (Helical path) If the velocity of the charge is not perpendicular to the magnetic field, we can break the velocity in two components VI/ , parallel to the field and v 1 , perpendicular to the field. The components VI/ remains unchanged as the force is perpendicular to it. In the plane perpendicular to the field, the particle traces a circle of radius r. The path is a helix. = sino = cos0 Pitch mv mvsin0

(2) The axis of the helix is parallel to magnetic filled. (3) The particle while moving in helical path in magnetic field touches the line passing through the starting point parallel to the magnetic field after every pitch. Charged particle in uniform E & B x (c) (d) When a charged particle moves with velocity V in an electric field E and magnetic field B then. Net force experienced by it is given by following equation. Combined force F is known as lorentz force ÉII In above situation particle passes underviated but its velocity will change due to electric field and magnetic force on it is zero.

The curve generated in this way is called a cycloid. Notice that the overall motion is not in the direction of E, but perpendicular to it. Example 4 : A uniform magnetic field of 30 mT exists in the + X direction. A particle of charge +ve and mass Solution : 1.67 x 1027 kg is projected through the field in the + Y direction with a speed of 4.8 x 166 m/s. (a) Find the force on the charged particle in magnitude and direction (b) Find the force if the particle were negatively charged. (c) Describe the nature of path followed by the particle in both the cases. vj x Bi = e VB k = (1.6 x 10 19) (4.8 x 106) (30 x 10 3) sin 900 = 2.3 x 10 14 N. The direction of the force is in the (-z) direction. (b) If the particle were negatively charged, the magnitude of the force will be the same but the direction will be along (+z) direction. In this case, V— —V j (c) As V L B, the path described is a circle, where radius is given by R = mV/qB = (1.67 x 10 27) (4.8 x x 10 19) (30 x 10 3) = 1.67 m. MAGNETIC FORCE ON A CURRENT CARRYING WIRE Suppose a conducting wire, carrying a current i, is placed in a magnetic field B. Consider a small current element i dC of the wire (figure). The magnetic force acting on this current element idC is given by dF- idcxB F if dCxB If B is uniform then, Here L = f dt = vector length of the wire - L iöc - vector connecting the end points of the wire
  9. Note If a current loop of any shape is placed in a uniform B then F on it is 0 (a) (b) Point of application of magnetic force On a straight current carrying wire the magnetic force in a uniform magnetic field can be assumed L 0) ICB to be acting at its mid point. This can be used for calculation of torque.
