Magnetic Field SUMMARY


A region around a magnet where
4.3
a magnetic force can be experienced.
Sources A magnetic field exerts a force on
a moving electric charge. The
- Bar magnet magnitude of the magnetic force
- Current carrying conductor Fmag on charge q moving with
- Earth magnetic field velocity v due to magnetic field B
is given by
4.2 4.6
Fmag = q v B sin

We can also write this in the


notation of a "cross product" or a
"vector product",

F = q v x B

If there was more than one loop present,


the equation would be multiplied by the
4.4
number of loops represented by N.

B = magnetic field magnitude (Tesla, T)


4.7
 = permeability of free space (
)
I = magnitude of the electric current (Amperes, A)
r = distance (m)
