Magnetic Fields

What Produces Magnetic Field?:
One way that magnetic fields are produced is to
use moving electrically charged particles, such as
a current in a wire, to make an electromagnet.
The current produces a magnetic field that is
utilizable.

Magnetic vs. Electric Forces
We know that an electric fields exists because it accelerates
electric charges, with a force independent of the velocity
of the charge, proportional to the electric charge: FE = qE

The Definition of B:
The SI unit for B that follows is newton
per coulomb-meter per second. For
convenience, this is called the tesla (T):
F2 = ⊙ B + ⊙ E F4 = - ⊙ B + ⊙ E
(a) F2 > F1 = F3
(b) F4 = 0
28.4: Crossed Fields, Discovery of an Electron:
When the two fields in Fig. 28-7 are adjusted so that the two deflecting forces acting on the
charged particle cancel, we have
Thus, the crossed fields allow us to measure the speed of the charged particles passing
through them.
The deflection of a charged particle, moving through an electric field, E, between two
plates, at the far end of the plates (in the previous problem) is
Here, v is the particle’s speed, m its mass, q its charge, and L is the length of the plates.
A Hall potential difference V is associated with the electric field across strip
width d, and the magnitude of that potential difference is V =Ed. When the
electric and magnetic forces are in balance (Fig. 28-8b),
Where J is the current density, A the cross-sectional area, e the electronic charge,
and n the number of charges per unit volume.

28.5.1. Two metal bars, A and B, are identical in all ways, except that bar B
has twice the width l of A. The bars are parallel to each other, but far
apart from each other, in a uniform magnetic field and carry the same
amount of current in a direction perpendicular to the field. How does the
Hall voltage of bar B compare to that of bar A?
a) The Hall voltage for bar B will be four times greater than that of bar A.
b) The Hall voltage for bar B will be two times greater than that of bar A.
c) The Hall voltage for bar B will be the same as that of bar A.

Problem
Two charged ions A and B traveling with a
constant velocity v enter a box in which there A v
is a uniform magnetic field directed out of the
page. The subsequent paths are as shown.
What can you conclude?
B
v
(a) Both ions are negatively charged.
(b) Ion A has a larger mass than B.
mv
(c) Ion A has a larger charge than B. r=
qB
(d) None of the above.
RHR says (a) is false. Same charge q, speed v, and same B for both masses. So:
ion with larger mass/charge ratio (m/q) moves in circle of larger radius. But
that’s all we know! Don’t know m or q separately.
Helical Paths:
Fig. 28-11 (a) A charged particle moves in a uniform magnetic field , the particle’s velocity v making an angle φ
with the field direction. (b) The particle follows a helical path of radius r and pitch p. (c) A charged particle
spiraling in a nonuniform magnetic field. (The particle can become trapped, spiraling back and forth between the
strong field regions at either end.) Note that the magnetic force vectors at the left and right sides have a
component pointing toward the center of the figure.
The velocity vector, v, of such a particle resolved into two components, one parallel to and
one perpendicular to it:
The parallel component determines the pitch p of the helix (the distance between adjacent
turns (Fig. 28-11b)). The perpendicular component determines the radius of the helix.
The more closely spaced field lines at the left and right sides indicate that the magnetic field is
stronger there. When the field at an end is strong enough, the particle “reflects” from that end.
If the particle reflects from both ends, it is said to be trapped in a magnetic bottle.
Electrons Moving in Magnetic Field: Circular Motion
Let us assume that at the instant the proton emerges into the
center gap from the first dee, the potential difference between
the dees is reversed. Thus, the proton again faces a negatively
charged dee and is again accelerated. This process continues,
the circulating proton always being in step with the oscillations
of the dee potential, until the proton has spiraled out to the edge
of the dee system. There a deflector plate sends it out through a
portal.
In the proton synchrotron the magnetic field B, and the oscillator frequency
fosc, instead of having fixed values as in the conventional cyclotron, are made
to vary with time during the accelerating cycle.
