• Currents in loops of wire
• Intrinsic spins of e-,p+  elementary currents  magnetic dipole moment
• Spins can align permanently to form natural magnets

Magnetic Force on a Charged Particle
Define B by the magnetic force FB it exerts on a charged particle
moving with a velocity v
Typical Magnitudes:

Earth’s field: 10-4 T.

Bar Magnet: 10-2 T.
Electromagnet: 10-1 T.

Units:
 1 Tesla  
 Newtons 
Coulombm / s
1 “GAUSS” = 10-4 Tesla
See Lecture 01 for cross product definitions and examples
• FB is proportional to speed v, charge q, and field B.
• FB is geometrically complex – depends on cross product
o F = 0 if v is parallel to B.
o F is normal to plane of both v and B.
o FB reverses sign for opposite sign of charge
o Strength of field B also depends on qv [current x length].
• Electric force can do work on a charged particle…BUT…
… magnetic force cannot do work on moving particles since FB.v = 0.

Magnetic Units and Field Line Examples

SI unit of magnetic field: Tesla (T)

•
Magnetic field lines – Similarities to E
–
–
•
1T = 1 N/[Cm/s] = 1 N/[Am] = 104 gauss
The tangent to a magnetic field line at any point gives
the direction of B at that point (not direction of force).
The spacing of the lines represents the magnitude of B
– the magnetic field is stronger where the lines are
closer together, and conversely.

B field direction is not that of the force on charges
Field lines have no end or beginning – closed curves
But magnetic dipoles will align with field

 FB is normal to both v & B ... so Power = F.v = 0.

Earth’s field shields us from the Solar
Wind and produces the Aurora
Earth’s magnetic field deflects charged
solar wind particles (via Lorentz force)
. Protects Earth
. Makes life possible (magnetosphere).
Some solar wind particles
spiral around the Earth’s
magnetic field lines producing
the Aurora at high latitudes.
They can also be trapped.
