Magnetic Field: The space around the current carrying conductor within which its
influence can be felt by the magnetic needle is called Magnetic field of the current
carrying conductor.
This is the expression for the force experienced by a charge particle moving in a
uniform magnetic field.
Definition of Tesla.
Consider: 𝐹 = 𝑞𝑣𝐵𝑆𝑖𝑛
When q=1C, v=1ms-1 =900, F=1N
Then B=1 T
The Magnetic field at a point is said to be one tesla when one coulomb of charge
is moving with a velocity of 1 ms-1 in the direction perpendicular to the field
experiences a force of 1N.
Note :-
1) When the velocity of charge is zero i.e v = 0 then the magnetic force is also zero.
2) When the charge is moving parallel to the magnetic field i.e. = 0, the force
experienced by the charge is also zero.
3) When the charge is moving in a direction perpendicular to the direction of magnetic
field i.e, =900 then
F= qvB
i.e The force experienced by the charge is maximum
4) Consider F= qvB Sin when q= 1C, v=1ms-1, = 900 the F = B
The magnetic field at a point is defined as the force experienced by a unit
positive charge moving with a unit velocity in the direction perpendicular to
the field, this is the definition of magnetic field.
5)The SI unit of Magnetic field is Tesla( T ) or Webber / m2 [ wbm-2].
Gauss is also a unit of magnetic field (10-4 T )
6) The Dimensional formula for ‘B’ is [MA-1T2]
7) A stationary charge is surrounded by electric field only; where as a moving
electriccharge is surrounded by both electric and magnetic field.
8)Magnetic field around a current carrying straight conductor consists of concentric
circles of magnetic lines of force lying in a plane, which is at right angle to the current
carrying conductor.
9) A magnetic field emerging out of plane of paper is depicted by a dot
2 MOVING CHARGES AND MAGNETISM
Consider a cylindrical conductor of length ‘𝑙’ and cross sectional area ‘A’. Let ‘n’ be
the number density of charge carriers.
The total number of mobile charge carriers in the rod is 𝒏𝑨𝒍.
Let ‘q’ be the value of charge on each charge carrier and 𝑽𝒅 be the drift velocity of
charge carrier.
In the presence of external magnetic field B, the force on the charge carrier is
𝑭 = 𝑨𝒍( 𝑱 × 𝑩)
But𝐽𝐴 = 𝐼
𝑭 = 𝑰( 𝒍 × 𝑩 )
⃗ = 𝑰(𝒍⃗ × 𝑩
𝑭 ⃗⃗ )
Where, 𝒍 is the vector of magnitude of‘𝑙’
And the vector sign is transferred from 𝐽𝑡𝑜𝑙
Note: If the conductor has an arbitrary shape we can calculate force by using the
equation
If the charge particle is moving in circular motion, centripetal force for the charge is
provided by the magnetic Lorentz force qVB

1. " The linear distance traveled by the charge particle in one rotation is called
pitch of the helix." .
2. The radius of the circular component of motion is called the radius of the helix.
3. The Kinetic energy and speed of the particle moving in uniform magnetic field in
the Circular path remains same, while velocity and momentum of the particle
changes.
4. When two different charge particles having same momentum enter
perpendicularly in to a uniform magnetic field, their paths are equally curved. This
principle is used in focusing beam of charge particle in TV picture tube or electron
microscope.
Velocity selector :
The force experienced by the charge particle in the presence of electric field and
magnetic field is
This condition is used to select charged particles of a particular velocity out of a beam
containing charges moving with different speed. This is called Velocity selector.
Principle : The working of the cyclotron is based on the fact that a positively charged
particle can be accelerated to a sufficiently high energy with the help of smaller values
of oscillating electric field by making it to cross the same Electric field time and again
with the use of strong Magnetic field.
Construction
Working: The positively charged particle is released at the centre ‘P’. They move in a
semi circular path in one of the dees and arrive in the gap between the dees in a time
interval T/2, where T is period of revolution
This frequency is called resonance frequency and (the condition) is called resonance
condition.
The phase of the supply is so adjusted so that when the positive ion arrive at the edge
of D1, D2 is at lower potential and ions are accelerated across the gap into the dees,
the particle travels in a region free of the electric field. Each time when the particle
cross the dees its kinetic energy increases, ions are repeatedly accelerated across the
dees until they have the required energy to have a radius approximately that of dees,
they are then deflected by a magnetic field and leave the system via an exit port.

pole of the needle deflects towards his left hand. This gives the direction of magnetic
filed produced.
3. Ampere's swimming rule is also called as snow rule i.e current flow from south

towards west.
This magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane containing the current element

Definition of current sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer:-
For a moving coil galvanometer, the current sensitivity is defined as the deflection
per unit current or the reciprocal of current sensitiveness is called the current
sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer.
2. The magnetic field between the two poles of magnet is very strong. Therefore
the coil is unaffected by the external magnetic field.
3.It does not require any initial adjustment w.r.t magnetic meridian and it can be
used in any position.
4. Current is directly proportional to the deflection (). Therefore uniformly
graduated scale can be used.
Pointer Galvanometer:
Pointer galvanometer is a modified form of moving
coil galvanometer. In pointer galvanometer instead
of suspension the coil is mounted on a jeweled
bearing. A phosphorus bronze spring is attached
to the coil. This spring gives mechanical support
to the coil i.e, the spring provides the torsional
couple to the coil, the current is passed to the coil
by using same phosphorous bronze spring.
