Magnetic Field, B
Magnetic field is the region near a magnet or
moving charge in which a magnetic force acts on
another magnet or moving charge.
Magnetic field B is produced by a moving charge
such as electrons moving in a copper wire
The magnetic field B is a vector quantity similar to
electric field E
The direction of a magnetic field is tangent to the
field line
In a magnet: field lines leave at North pole and
enter at South pole
Magnetic Flux
Solenoid wire
F= q (v sinB )
V = velocity of charge
Sin : magnetic field force acts
perpendicular to the charged object and
its velocity
Force = BLIsin
Solenoid:
B= 0 nI (n = # turns/length)
Lorentz Force
Magnetism results from the motion of
electric charges or permanent dipoles in
ferro-magnets.
Magnetic forces act perpendicular on an
object in the field.
Moving charge, q, exerts two force fields:
E: electric field F = qE
B : magnetic field F = q (v sinB )
Lorentz Force : F = q( E + v sinB )
