Topics in Moving Charges and Magnetism

1

Magnetic Field Due to Current

  • A current-carrying conductor produces a magnetic field around it, as discovered by Oersted.
  • The direction of the magnetic field is determined using the Right-Hand Grip Rule: if the thumb points in the direction of current, the curled fingers show the direction of the magnetic field.
  • Magnetic field lines form concentric circles around a straight current-carrying wire.
2

Biot-Savart’s Law and Applications

  • Biot-Savart’s Law gives the magnetic field produced by a small current element.
  • The magnetic field is proportional to current, length of element, and sinθ, and inversely proportional to r².
  • Used to calculate magnetic field at the center of a circular loop.
3

Ampere’s Circuital Law

  • Ampere’s Law states that the line integral of B around a closed loop is μ₀ times the enclosed current.
  • It is useful for calculating magnetic fields in symmetric situations like long wires, solenoids, and toroids.
  • The law is analogous to Gauss’s law in electrostatics but for magnetism.
4

Force on Moving Charges and Current-Carrying Conductors

  • A moving charge in a magnetic field experiences a force called Lorentz force.
  • The force is perpendicular to both velocity and magnetic field, so it changes direction but not speed.
  • Fleming’s Left-Hand Rule gives the direction of force on positive charges.
