  1. Announcements  Physics 24 spreadsheets for all sections, with Exam 2 scores, will be available today on the Physics 24 web site. You need your PIN to find your grade.  Preliminary exam average is about 80.1%. Good! Scores ranged from a low of 60 to a high of 200 (20 students!).  Physics 24 Exam 2 will be returned in recitation Thursday. When you get the exam back, please check that points were added correctly. Review the course handbook and be sure to follow proper procedures before requesting a regrade. Get your regrade requests in on time! (They are due by “next” Thursday’s recitation.)

  2. Announcements  Midterm grades include your first 3 labs. If you are missing one of them, this does impact your grade. Remember, the one lowest lab score is dropped, and there are no makeups.

  3. We’ve been working with the effects of magnetic fields without considering where they come from. Today we learn about sources of magnetic fields. Today’s agenda: Magnetic Fields Due To A Current. You must be able to calculate the magnetic field due to a moving charged particle. Biot-Savart Law. You must be able to use the Biot-Savart Law to calculate the magnetic field of a current-carrying conductor (for example: a long straight wire). Force Between Current-Carrying Conductors. You must be able to begin with starting equations and calculate forces between current-carrying conductors.

  4. Biot-Savart Law: magnetic field of a current element Let’s start with the magnetic field of a moving charged particle. r It is experimentally observed that a moving point charge q gives rise to a magnetic field B v + 0 is a constant, and its value is 0=4x10-7 T·m/A  Remember: the direction of r is always from the source point (the thing that causes the field) to the field point (the location where the field is being measured.

  5. Example: proton 1 has a speed v0 (v0<<c) and is moving along the x-axis in the +x direction. Proton 2 has the same speed and is moving parallel to the x-axis in the –x direction, at a distance r directly above the x-axis. Determine the electric and magnetic forces on proton 2 at the instant the protons pass closest to each other. y This is example 28.1 in your text. FE The electric force is v0 2 E r 1 x v0 z Homework Hint: slides 6-9!

  6. Alternative approach to calculating electric force. This is “better” because we use the concept of field to calculate both of electric and (later) magnetic forces. At the position of proton 2 there is an electric field due to proton 1. y FE E v0 2 This electric field exerts a force on proton 2. r 1 x v0 z

  7. Also at the position of proton 2 there is a magnetic field due to proton 1. y FE v0 2 B1 r 1 x v0 z

  8. Proton 2 “feels” a magnetic force due to the magnetic field of proton 1. y FE FB v0 2 B1 r What would proton 1 “feel?” Caution! Relativity overrules Newtonian mechanics! However, in this case, the force is “equal & opposite.” 1 x v0 z

  9. Both forces are in the +y direction. The ratio of their magnitudes is y FE FB v0 2 B1 r Later we will find that 1 x v0 z

  10. Thus If v0=106 m/s, then y FE Don’t you feel sorry for the poor, weak magnetic force? FB v0 2 If you don’t like being confused, close your eyes and cover your ears. What if you are a nanohuman, lounging on proton 1. You rightfully claim you are at rest. There is no magnetic field from your proton, and no magnetic force on 2. Another nanohuman riding on proton 2 would say “I am at rest, so there is no magnetic force on my proton, even thoughthere is a magnetic field from proton 1.” What if you are a nanohuman, lounging on proton 1. You rightfully claim you are at rest. There is no magnetic field from your proton, and no magnetic force on 2. What if you are a nanohuman, lounging on proton 1. You rightfully claim you are at rest. There is no magnetic field from your proton, and no magnetic force on 2. Another nanohuman riding on proton 2 would say “I am at rest, so there is no magnetic force on my proton, even thoughthere is a magnetic field from proton 1.” This calculation says there is a magnetic field and force. Who is right? Take Physics 107 to learn the answer. B1 r 1 x v0 z Or see here, here, and here for a hint about how to resolve the paradox.

  11. Today’s agenda: Magnetic Fields Due To A Current. You must be able to calculate the magnetic field due to a moving charged particle. Biot-Savart Law. You must be able to use the Biot-Savart Law to calculate the magnetic field of a current-carrying conductor (for example: a long straight wire). Force Between Current-Carrying Conductors. You must be able to begin with starting equations and calculate forces between current-carrying conductors.

  12. From the equation for the magnetic field of a moving charged particle, it is “easy” to show that a current I in a little length dl of wire gives rise to a little bit of magnetic field. r dB The Biot-Savart Law I If you like to be more precise in your language, substitute “an infinitesimal” for “a little length” and “a little bit of.” dl I often use ds instead of dl because the script l does not display very well. You may see the equation written using

  13. dB r  ds I Applying the Biot-Savart Law Homework Hint: if you have a tiny piece of a wire, just calculate dB; no need to integrate.

  14. y P dB  r a  x  z ds I x Example: calculate the magnetic field at point P due to a thin straight wire of length L carrying a current I. (P is on the perpendicular bisector of the wire at distance a.) L ds is an infinitesimal quantity in the direction of dx, so

  18. y P dB  r a  x  z ds I x When L, The r in this equation has a different meaning than the r in the diagram! or

  19. Magnetic Field of a Long Straight Wire We’ve just derived the equation for the magnetic field around a long, straight wire* I B with a direction given by a “new” right-hand rule. r *Don’t use this equation unless you have a long, straight wire!

  20. Looking “down” along the wire: B  I The magnetic field is not constant. At a fixed distance r from the wire, the magnitude of the magnetic field is constant. The magnetic field direction is always tangent to the imaginary circles drawn around the wire, and perpendicular to the radius “connecting” the wire and the point where the field is being calculated.

  21. The magnetic field due to wire segments A’A and CC’ is zero because ds is parallel to along these paths. Example: calculate the magnetic field at point O due to the wire segment shown. The wire carries uniform current I, and consists of two straight segments and a circular arc of radius R that subtends angle .

  26. d I1 I2 L F12 F21   I B r We showed that a long straight wire carrying a current I gives rise to a magnetic field B at a distance r from the wire given by The magnetic field of one wire exerts a force on a nearby current-carrying wire. The magnitude of the force depends on the two currents, the length of the wires, and the distance between them. This is NOT a starting equation The wires are electrically neutral, so this is not a Coulomb force. Remember, the direction of the field is given another (different) right-hand rule: grasp the wire and point the thumb of your right hand in the direction of I; your fingers curl around the wire and show the direction of the magnetic field.
