magnetism
Magnetic fields are produced by moving electrical charges
– i.e., currents)
macroscopic (e.g. currents in a wire)
microscopic (electrons in atomic orbit and rotating
around their own axis)
magnetism

magnets
the magnetic field produced by electrons tend to cancel each other,
so most materials are not magnetic
in certain ‘ferromagnetic’ materials (iron) neighboring electrons can
couple and form domains (< 1mm) that are magnetic. Since there are
many domains that have different orientation, the material is overall
not magnetized
when an external magnetic field is applied the fields in the different
domains align and the whole object becomes magnetic
after the external field is removed, a material like iron becomes
unmagnetized quickly, but some remain magnetized and can be
used as ‘permanent’ magnets.

magnetic poles and fields
magnets have ‘north’ and ‘south’ poles and field lines
point in the direction of force on a North magnetic pole.
unlike the case of electrical fields, where positive charges
can exists separate from negative charges, north and
south poles always come together. There are no
monopoles discovered so far.

Note that the geographical North pole is in fact the

question
If you are standing exactly at the (magnetic) south
Pole (I.e. near the geographical north pole), and are
holding a compass parallel with the earth’s surface,
in which direction would the needle point?
a) It would point roughly to the geographical south
b) It could point anywhere
c) It would rotate with constant angular speed
The compass needle in fact wants to point into the earth
(along the direction of the field line). But if hold parallel
to earth, it can’t do that and will point wherever. There is
no reason for it to rotate though.

charged particles moving in a magnetic field
A charged particle q that is
moving with a velocity v in a
magnetic field B will feel a force
where q: charge of particle
v: velocity of paticle

vector and field direction

Charged particle in a magnetic field
Let’s assume a charged particle is
moving in a uniform magnetic field so
that the velocity is perpendicular
to the field.
The particle will follow a curved path
and is directed towards the center

question
In a nuclear reaction two types of fully ionized particles are created.
120Sn with Z=50 and v=12.8814x107 m/s (Tin)
120Sb with Z=51 and v=13.099x107 m/s (Antimony)
Both have a mass of 1.991x10-25 kg and pass through a 180o
magnetic spectrometer with B=1T. If the detector used to locate
the particles can separate events that are 2 mm away from each
other, are 120Sn and 120Sb separated?
r= mv/qB
For 120Sn:
M=1.991x10-25 kg v=12.8814x107 m/s
B=1T q=50x1.6x10-19 C.
RSn=3.2060 m
For 120Snb:
M=1.991x10-25 kg v=13.0990x107 m/s
B=1T q=51x1.6x10-19 C.
RSb=3.1961 m
RSn-RSb=3.206-3.1961=9.9x10-3 m = 9.9 mm thus separated

What we did so far
Moving charged particles make magnetic field
North and South poles cannot exist independently
The magnitude of a force on a charge particle in a
magnetic field: F=qvBsin where is the angle
between v and B.
The direction of the force is given by the (first)
right-hand rule
for + particles: use directly
for – particles: after using the right hand-rule,
reverse the direction of the force

creating magnetic field with current
So far, we have seen that magnetic field can affect the motion of
charged particles.
However, the reverse is also true: moving charge can create
magnetic fields.
First seen by Hans Oersted who noted that a current through a wire
creates a magnetic field.
A second right-hand rule can be used to find the direction of the
magnetic field

next to each other, the current
in wire 2 creates a field near
wire 2, at distance d from wire 1:
