Experience 2: Inducing Magnetism

Magnetic Force on a Wire:

 The individual moving charges in a current carrying wire all experience a force when placed in a magnetic
field.

Modeling the Force on a Wire:
 Length of the wire that is perpendicular to the field will contribute to the force, because only the
component of the current direction perpendicular to the magnetic field produce magnetic force.

Torque on Loops:

What is torque? Torque is a measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an
axis. Just as force is what causes an object to accelerate in linear kinematics, torque is what
causes an object to acquire angular acceleration.

 When current travel through the loop, it moves in the opposite direction on either side of
the loop. This result in force acting on the opposite sides in opposite direction.
 A torque is produced on each side of the loop, resulting in a net torque that causes the
loop to rotate.

Modeling a Simple Motor
 One of the simplest designs is the brushed direct current motor, which uses a direct
current power source, such as a battery, and alternates the direction of the current
through a coil of wire using a set of electrically conductive brushes.
 The motor converts electrical energy into the kinetic energy of the spinning coil.

Current and Magnetic Fields:
 In Newton’s law of universal gravitation, the gravitational field is proportional to the mass.
 In Coulomb’s law, the electric field is proportional to the charge.
 The Biot-Savart law states that the magnitude of the magnetic field is proportional to the
current.
 For a current-carrying wire, a right-hand rule is used to determine the field direction.

Field Around a Wire Compasses placed near a long, straight current-carrying wire show circular
field lines around the wire.

Current-Carrying Loops
 Right-hand rule can be used to determine the field direction.
 However, the equation for a loop is valid only at the center of the loop. The magnetic field
strength gets smaller farther away from the loop.

Field Around a Loop The right-hand rule can be used to determine the direction of the
magnetic field through a current-carrying loop.

Current-Carrying Solenoid
 A solenoid is a long current-carrying wire wound into a helical coil. Imagine wrapping a long
piece of wire around a piece of pipe and attaching the wire ends to a battery. The result
would be a solenoid.
 Similar to the straight wire and the loop, you determine the field direction with the right-
hand rule, and the magnitude of the field inside is proportional to the current.

Solenoids are used to produce electromagnets. An electromagnet is a type of magnet in


which a magnetic field is generated by an electric current. Electromagnets often consist of a
wire wrapped around an iron core.
