Representation of Magnetic Field
Like electric field, can be represented by field
lines
– Field direction indicated by direction of lines
– Field strength indicated by density of lines
But, unlike electric field
– Magnetic field lines perpendicular to force
– No isolated magnetic poles, so no points in space
where field lines begin or end
PA113/Unit 3
28-2 Motion of a Point Charge in a
Magnetic Field
Key Concept – Force is perpendicular to
field direction and velocity
Therefore, magnetic fields do no work
on particles
There is no change in magnitude of
velocity, just direction

field but does experience a torque

29-5 Magnetism in Matter
Magnetization, M = m Bapp/0
m is the magnetic susceptibility
Paramagnetic
– M in same direction as B, dipoles weakly add to B
field (small +ve m )
Diamagnetic
– M in opposite direction to B, dipoles weakly
oppose B field (small -ve m )
Ferromagnetic
– Large +ve m, dipoles strongly add to B-field. Can
result in permanent magnetic field in material.

PA113/Unit 3
Why use fusion?
• Chemical reaction C+02 CO2 (e.g. Coal)
goes at ~700 K and gives ~107 J kg-1
• Fission, such as U235 + n Ba143 + Kr91 + 2n
goes at ~103 K and gives ~1012 J kg-1
• Fusion, such as in the Sun, H2 + H3 He4 + n
goes at ~108 K and gives ~1014 J kg-1
