SI unit of magnetic eld is Wm-2 or T (telsa).

The strength of magnetic eld is called one tesla, if a charge of one coulomb, when moving with a velocity of 1 ms-1 along a direction
perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic eld experiences a force of one newton.

1 tesla (T) = 1 weber metre-2 (Wbm-2)

= 1 newton ampere-1 metre-1 (NA-1 m-1)

CGS units of magnetic eld are called gauss or oersted.

1 gauss = 10-4 tesla.

Maxwell’s Cork Screw Rule

If a right handed cork screw is imagined to be rotated in such a direction that tip of the screw points in the direction of the current, then
direction of rotation of thumb gives the direction of magnetic line of force.

The conventional sign for a magnetic eld coming out of the plane and normal to it is a dot i.e.,

The magnetic eld perpendicular to the plane in the downward action is denoted by ®.

Ampere’s Swimming Rule

If a man is swimming along the wire in the direction of current his face turned towards the needle, so that the current enters through his feet,

then north pole of the magnetic needle will be de ected towards his left hand.

Biot Savart’s Law

The magnetic eld produced by a current carrying element of length dl, carrying current I at a point separated by a distance r is given by

dB = μo / 4 π Idl * r / r3

or dB = μo / 4 π Idl sin θ / r2

where, θ is the angle between the direction of the current and μo is absolute permeability of the free space.

SI unit of magnetic eld is Wm-2 or (tesla) and CGS unit of magnetic eld is gauss or oersted 1 gauss = 10-4tesla.

The direction of magnetic eld dB is that of I dl * r .

where φ1 and φ2 are angles, which the lines joining the two ends of the conductor to the observation point make with the perpendicular from
the observation point to the conductor.

For in nite length conductor and observation point is near the centre of the conductor,

B = μo / 4 π 2I / r

They cannot interact.

Outside a magnet, they are directed from north to south pole and inside a magnet they are directed from south to north.

The magnetic eld lines due to a straight current carrying conductor are concentric circles having centre at conductor and in a plane
perpendicular to the conductor.

The direction of magnetic eld lines can be obtained by Right Hand Thumb Rule

Right Hand Thumb Rule

If we hold a current carrying conductor in the grip of the right hand in such a way that thumb points in the direction of current, then curling of
ngers represents the direction of magnetic eld lines.

Magnetic Field on the Axis of a Current Carrying Circular Coil

Magnetic eld at axis at a distance x from centre O.

where, r = radius of the coil, n = number of turns in the coil and I = current,

At centre of the coil, B = μo nl / 2 r

If we look at one face of the coil and the direction of current owing through the coil is clockwise, then that face has south polarity and if
direction of current is anti-clockwise, then that face has north polarity.

Magnetic Dipole

Every current carrying loop is a magnetic dipole. It has two poles south
(S) and north (N).

This is similar to a bar magnet.

aglasem
Each magnetic dipole has some magnetic moment (M). The magnitude of M is,

i = current in the loop and

A = area of cross-section of the loop.

The current carrying loop behaves as a small magnetic dipole placed along the axis one face of the loop behaves as north pole while the other
face of loop behaves as south pole.

Ampere’s Circuital Law

The line integral of magnetic eld induction B around any closed path in vacuum is equal to 110 times the total current threading the closed
path, i.e.,

where B is the magnetic eld, dl is small element, μo is the absolute permeability of free space and I is the current.

Ampere’s circuital law holds good for a closed path of any size and shape around a current carrying conductor because the relation is
independent of distance form conductor.

Solenoid

A solenoid is a closely wound helix of insulated copper wire.

Magnetic eld at a point well inside a long solenoid is given by

B = μo nl

where, n = number of turns per unit length and

I = current owing through the solenoid

Magnetic eld at a point on one end of a long solenoid is given by

B = μo nl / 2

Toroid

A toroidal solenoid is an anchor ring around which is large number of turns of a copper wire are wrapped.

A toroid is an endless solenoid in the form of a ring.

Magnetic eld inside the turns of toroid is given by

B = μo nl

aglasem
Magnetic eld inside a toroid is constant and is always tangential to the circular closed path.

Magnetic Field Due to a Current Carrying Long Circular Cylinder

Outside the cylinder (r > R)

B=μ/2πl/r

Inside the cylinder when it is made of a thin metal sheet,

B=O

Inside the cylinder when current is uniformly distributed throughout the cross-section of the cylinder (r < R)

B = μo μr / 2 π Ir / R2

where, μo and μr are permeabilities of free space and material of the cylinder, I is current owing through the cylinder and r is radius of the
cylinder.

Force Acting on a Charge Particle Moving in a Uniform Magnetic Field

F = q(v * B)

or F = |F| = Bqv sin θ

where, B = magnetic eld intensity,

q = charge on particle,

u = speed of the particle and

θ = angle between magnetic eld and direction of motion.

This force is perpendicular to B as well as v.

Its direction can be obtained from Fleming’s left hand rule.

Magnetic force acting on a current carrying conductor in a uniform magnetic eld is given by

F = I ( I * B)

Fleming’s left Hand Rule

If we stretch the thumb, the fore nger and the central nger if left hand in such a way that all three are perpendicular to each other, then if
fore nger represents the direction of magnetic eld, central nger represents the direction of current owing through the conductor, then
thumb will represent the direction of magnetic force.

Lorentz Force

The total force experienced by a charge moving inside the electric and magnetic elds is called Lorentz force. It is given by F = q(E * v * B)

Motion of a Charged Particle in a Uniform Magnetic Field

When charged particle enter normal to the magnetic eld it follows a circular path.

The radius of the path, r = mv / Bq

∴ r ∝ mv

and r ∝ 1 / (q / m)

Time period, T = 2πm / Bq

When charged particle enter magnetic eld at any angle except 90°, then it follows helical path.

The radius of the path, r = mv sin θ / Bq

The distance travelled by the charged particle in one time period due to component of velocity v cos θ, is called pitch of the path

Pitch = T * v cos θ = 2πmv cos θ / Bq

Cyclotron

Cyclotron is a device used to accelerate positively charged particles such as proton, deuteron etc.

Principle of Cyclotron

A positively charged particle can be accelerated through a modera. electric eld by crossing it again and again by use of strong magnetic eld.

Radius of circular path, r = mv / Bq

Cyclotron frequency v = Bq / 2πm

where m and q are mass and charge of the positive ion and B is strength of the magnetic eld.

Maximum kinetic energy gained by the particle.

Emax = B2q2r2o / 2m

where, ro = maximum radius of circular path.

When a positive ion is accelerated by the cyclotron, it moves with greater and greater speed. As the speed of ion becomes comparable with that
of light, the mass of the ion increases according to the relation.

v = speed of Ion and
c = speed of light.

Limitations of the Cyclotron

(i) Cyclotron cannot accelerated uncharged particle like neutron.

(ii) The positively charged particles having large mass i.e., ions cannot move at limitless speed in a cyclotron.

Force between Two In nitely Long Parallel Current Carrying Conductors

The force is attractive if current In both conductors is in same direction and repulsive if current 10 both conductors is in opposite direction.

(if the currents is both parallel wires arc equal and In same direction, then magnetic eld at a point exactly half way between the wire is zero.)

Torque acting on a Current Carrying Coil Placed Inside a Uniform Magnetic Field

Torque acting on a current carrying coil placed inside a uniform magnetic eld is given
