EXAMS:

There will be two 75-minute evening exams and a two-hour final exam. The evening exams are
multiple-choice and should be able to be completed within 75 minutes by a well-prepared student;
note that were giving you 120 minutes. The times and locations of the evening exams are as follows:

Exam 1: Wednesday, February 13 @ 8 10 PM in Physics 203 and Physics 331

Exam 2: Tuesday, March 26 @ 8 10 PM in Physics 114

All exams are closed book. For the exams you will need a #2 pencil, a calculator and your student ID.
You may make a single crib sheet for Exam 1 (you may write on both sides of an 8.5 x 11 sheet of
paper). Bring this and a second crib sheet to Exam 2; bring both crib sheets and a third to the Final
Exam. Many, but not all, formulae will be provided on the front of the Exams.

Magnetic Force on a Current, cont.
Magnetic Force on an Electric Current
Torque on a Current Loop
A magnetic field can produce a torque on a current loop
Assume a square loop with sides of length L carrying a
current I in a constant magnetic field
The directions of the forces can be found from right-hand
rule 2
Section 20.5
Figure 20.24
Torque on a Current Loop, cont.
On two sides, the current is parallel or antiparallel to the
field, so the force is zero on those sides
The forces on sides with the current perpendicular to the
field are in opposite directions and produce a torque on the
loop ---Denoted sides 1 and 3 in fig. 20.24
When the angle between the loop and the field is , the
torque is


For different shapes, this becomes

Problem 20.55
A long current-carrying wire lies on the y-axis and carries
Current I = 4.5 A along the + y direction. A magnetic field of
magnitude B = 1.2 T lies in the y-z plane directed 30
o
,
away from the y- axis, as shown in Figure P20.55.
(a) What is the direction of the magnetic force on the wire ?
(b) What is the magnitude of the magnetic force
on a 1.0-m-long section of the wire ?
Problem Solving Strategy
(1) Recognize the principle. The direction of the force on the
wire can be found using right-hand rule #1. The magnitude of
the force is related to the current, the field magnitude, the
length of the wire segment, and the angle between the
directions of the current flow and the magnetic field.

(2) Sketch the problem.
See Figure P20.55.



(3) Identify the relationships. There is no simple
mathematical relationship to find the direction of the force.
The magnitude of the magnetic force on a current-carrying
wire is given by: F
on wire
= ILB sin
Problem Solving Strategy, cont.
(5) Solve. (a) Pointing your fingers in the direction of the current
flow (+y direction) and rotating them into the direction of the field
(30 above the +y direction), your thumb points in the +x direction.
Therefore,

(b) Substituting into the equation
F

= (4.5 A)(1.0 m)(1.2 T)sin30

(6) What does it mean? The force is perpendicular to the plane
containing the direction of current flow and the direction of the
magnetic field.
The magnitude of the force would be larger if the field and
direction of current flow were perpendicular to each other ( =
90

).
the force is in the +x direction
