Surrounding a magnet there is a magnetic field. The direction of the magnetic field at any point in
space is the direction indicated by the north pole of a small compass needle placed at that point.

on a Moving Charge

Speed
Units of B:
1Wb/m2 = 1 Tesla
(T) = 104 Gauss (G)
Any charge
moving in a
magnetic field
is subject to a
magnetic
force F.
Note:
• The force, F, has a maximum value when
the charge moves perpendicularly to the
magnetic field lines: = 90o or 270o
• This force is zero when v and B are on the
same line: = 0o or 180o
The direction of F: the right hand rule
Example 1 Magnetic Forces on Charged Particles
A proton in a particle accelerator has a speed of 5.0x106 m/s. The proton
encounters a magnetic field whose magnitude is 0.40 T and whose direction
makes and angle of 30.0 degrees with respect to the proton’s velocity
(see part (c) of the figure). Find (a) the magnitude and direction of the
force on the proton and (b) the acceleration of the proton. (c) What would
be the force and acceleration of the particle were an electron?

3- The Motion of a Charged Particle
in a Magnetic Field
The electrical force can do work on a
charged particle.
The magnetic force cannot do work on a
charged particle.
The magnetic force always remains
perpendicular to the velocity and is
directed toward the center of the
circular path.

8- Ampère’s Law
Ampère’s law states that the line integral around
any closed path equals µo I where I is the total
steady current passing through any surface
bounded by the closed path.
µo = 4 x 10-7 T m / A (permeability of free space)

9- Magnetic Materials
The intrinsic “spin” and orbital motion of electrons gives rise to the magnetic
properties of materials.
In ferromagnetic materials groups of neighboring atoms, forming
magnetic domains, the spins of electrons are naturally aligned with
each other.
Soft magnetic materials, such as iron, are
easily magnetized. They also tend to lose
their magnetism easily
Hard magnetic materials, such as cobalt and
nickel, are difficult to magnetize. They tend
to retain their magnetism
