Magnets and Magnetic Forces Magnet: An object consisting of two poles called North and South Poles of a magnet are the ends where objects are most strongly attracted Magnets will apply a force on other magnets Like poles repel each other and unlike poles attract each other Magnetic poles cannot be isolated If a permanent magnetic is cut in half repeatedly, you will still have a north and a south pole This differs from electric charges There is some theoretical basis for monopoles, but none have been detected Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 3

B-field Similar to electric charges a magnet will create a magnetic field in the area around it Due to convention we will call the magnetic field a B-field The force magnets apply on each other can be described as an interaction between a magnet and another magnet s B-field Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 5
B-field lines We will also draw magnetic field lines (1) The direction of a magnetic field ed is tangent to a magnetic field line at any point (2) The number of lines per area is proportional to the magnitude of the B-field Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 6

B-field of Current-Carrying Wire In 1819 Hans Christian Oersted discovered that an electric current in a wire causes a compass to turn. Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 11
Notation Magnetism requires a three-dimensional perspective, but two-dimensional figures are easier to draw. We will use the following notation: Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 12
B-Field from wire Magnetic field lines are imaginary lines drawn through a region of space so that: t A tangent to a field line is in the direction of the magnetic field. The field lines are closer together th where the magnetic field strength is larger. Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 13

The Source of the Magnetic Field: Moving Charges The magnetic field of a charged particle q moving with velocity v is given by the Biot-Savart law: Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 15
The Magnetic Field The constant 0 in the Biot-Savart law is called the permeability constant: 0 = 4 10-7 T m/a = 1.257 10-6 T m/a The SI unit of magnetic field strength is the tesla, abbreviated as T: 1 tesla = 1 T = 1 N/A m Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 16
Magnetic Field of a Moving Positive Charge The right-hand hand rule for finding the direction of B-field due to a moving gpositive charge is similar to the rule used for a current carrying wire. Note that t the component of parallel to the line of motion is zero. Physics 201: Lecture 1, Pg 17
