12.4) MAGNETIC FIELD: :
Electromagnetism is the study of the
magnetic effects of current. Magnetism is
the study of how a magnetic field,
generated by a moving charged particle,
affects other charged particles or
Permanent magnets. Magnetism is the
attraction of magnetic ‘substances to
other permanent magnets or charged
particles.
The magnetic field is the region or space
surrounding a magnet in which a compass

field and a moving charge can all create a
magnetic field. The magnetic force
between magnets acts at a distance. It seems unreasonable how force propagates between
magnets without anything between them.
Michael Faraday came up with an alternative explanation. He imagined that each magnet sets
up a magnetic field in space around it. When you place another magnet in that field, it just
responds to the field at its own location. A field picture takes advantage of the lacal description
of a force. As we have already discussed in earlier classes, gravitational fields exert the force
of gravity on other masses. An electric field exists around charges, and other charges in this
region will experience an electric force. Similarly, magnetic fields exert force on other
magnets, like compass needles, magnetic materials, and moving electric charges.
You can easily visualize the magnetic field of a magnet by
sprinkling iron filings near the magnet, as shown in the
figure 12.2. The iron particles get magnetized in a magnetic
field and stick together along magnetic field lines, as you
can see in the picture. One key distinction between
magnetic field lines and electric field lines is that magnetic
field lines form complete loops. Let us consider a bar
magnet. Magnetic field ines come out of the north pole and = Figuret12.20

Consider a straight current carrying wire placed at right

current is flowing in to the paper.
The two magnetic fields i.e. external magnetic field of bar
magnet and magnetic field of current carrying conductor
support each other on left side of the conductor and net
magnetic field becomes stronger.
The two magnetic fields, i.e., the external magnetic field
of the bar magnet and the magnetic field of the current-
carrying conductor, are in opposite directions on the right
side of the conductor; hence, they oppose each other, and
the net magnetic field becomes weaker.
Therefore, magnetic force acts on current carrying
conductor in magnetic field from stronger towards
weaker magnetic field. So, the conductors tend to move
towards the weaker part of the magnetic field.

A current-carrying wire in a
magnetic field moves because a
force acts on it. The magnetic field
making the wire move is called a
catapult field. The catapult field is
due to the combined effect of the
magnetic field of current-carrying
wire and magnetic field of bar

FORCE ON A CURRENT CARRYING CONDUCTOR IN MAGNETIC FIELD
A current-carrying conductor has its own magnetic field; when it is placed in an external
magnetic field, as a result of the interaction between these two magnetic fields, a force may
be experienced by the conductor as shown in fig 12.5. When a current-carrying wire of length
Lis placed at a right angle to a uniform magnetic field B,
the magnetic field of the wire and
the external uniform magnetic field interact, resulting in a force F en the wire.

the magnetic field and the middle finger points towards the

{24 MAGNETIC FORCE ACTING ON MOVING CHARG
UNIFORM MAGNETIC FIELD a
js we have studied in previous classes, moving charges produce
magnetic fields. When charged particles enter between the poles of a
magnet, the magnetic field of the moving charge interacts with the
magnetic field of the permanent bar magnet. Therefore, two magnetic
fields support each other on one side of the charge, and the net |
magnetic field becomes stronger. Two magnetic fields oppose each
ather on the other side of the charge, and the net magnetic field
becomes weaker. Magnetic force acts on the charged particle from a
strong magnetic field towards a weaker magnetic field. The charged |
patticle deflects from its path perpendicular to both magnetic fields
because a net force is acting on it perpendicular to B and v. When a vetoctty of particte|
charge is moving in a magnetic field, it experiences a force, provided fo magnetic Hale
that the following conditions are fulfilled: The charge must be moving,
because no magnetic force acts on a stationary charge. The velocity of the moving charge must
have a component that is perpendicular to the direction x
of the magnetic field. Consider a positive point charge
“sq! moving with velocity ‘v’ at a point at angle “8” with
the magnetic field ‘B’, as shown in the figure 12.8. The a)
Magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the point
charge is the product of the magnitude of the charged,
the magnitude of the magnetic field ‘8’, and the
Component of the velocity ‘v’ perpendicular to the field.

Magnitude of the charge q by conducting experiments
on particles with various charges. Similar to this, you

Connon ferrous materials used in cores include iron (Fe), silicon steel, and
various iron alloys. Each of these materials has its own characteristic
relative permeability.
The intensity of the magnetic field rises when a ferrous rod, also

core becomes magnetized owing to magnetic induction. This
combination of the solenoid and the ferrous core is known as an
lectromagnet.

D.< MGENATIC FORCES BETWEEN CURRENT-CARRYING
CONDUCTORS .
The attractive force between the two parallel wires carrying current in the same direction j,
Magnetic force by nature. When two parallel currents carrying conductor are close to each
other, each conductor produces its own magnetic field. Each of the wires is in the magnetic
field of the other, and so they experience a force that is at the right angle to both the current
and the magnetic field. In between two parallel wires carrying current in the same direction,
the magnetic fields of the two wires are in opposite directions, therefore the net magnetic fielg
is weak.
The magnetic field on the outer sides of wires is
stronger than in between the wires. Therefore,
magnetic force acts on the current-carrying _
conductor in a magnetic field from a stronger to
a weaker magnetic field, and two wires attract
each other as shown in fig 12.19 (a).
Note that in the case of the attractive force
(currents in the same direction), there is a
neutral point between the wires where the
magnetic fields are equal in magnitude and
opposite in direction. If the two currents are
equal in magnitude, the neutral point would be
midway between the wires (assuming the
medium has uniform permeability). Otherwise,
the neutral point would be closer to the wire |
with the smaller current. The magnitude of

The basic requirement for electromagnetic induction is the change in magnetic flux linking the
conductor (or coil).
FARADAY’S LAWS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION
It states that ‘the magnitude of induced e.m.f. is directly proportional to the rate of.change of
magnetic flux linking the coil and the number of turns of the coil N.

magnets are used to produce electricity.
Experiment 1: In this experiment, we use a
bar magnet and a coil connected to a sensitive
galvanometer, as shown in the figure 12 .22.
Case I: When there is no relative motion
between the magnet and coil, the
galvanometer shows no current.
Case Il: When the bar magnet is moved
towards the coil, the magnetic flux changes
and induces emf and induced current flows in
the coil.
Case- Ill: When the bar magnet is moved away
from the coil, again magnetic flux changes,
emf induces and induced current flows in the coil
but in opposite direction.
Experiment 2: Induced emf is generated by
relative movement (the generator effect). .In this
experiment the coil is rotated in magnetic field. As
the change in magnetic flux is given by
©=AB(Acos4) During the rotation of the coil, the
angle @ between the magnetic field and the vector
area A of the coil changes. Therefore, the magnetic
flux of the coil changes, induces emf in the coil,
induced current flows through the circuit, and the
galvanometer shows deflection. This is the basic
principle of an electric generator. (Fig 12.23)
Experiment 3: Induced emf is generated by changing a magnetic field (the transformer
effect). In this experiment, two coils are placed closed to each other.

as the north pole, while the other one
acts as the south pole. Then, by Lenz’s
Law, if the coil is to oppose the mation
of the bar magnet, then the face of the
coil towards the magnet must become
anorth pole. The two north poles repel
each other. By right hand rule, the
induced current must be in anti-clock
wise direction from the side of bar
magnet. According to Lenz's law the
‘push’ of magnet is the ‘change’ which
produces the induced current which =_—
tends to oppose the ‘push’.
Simitarly, if we ‘pull’ the magnet away from the coil, the induced current opposes the ‘pul! by
creating the south pole towards the bar magnet, as shown in fig 12.25 (b).
