Prevously: movng charges and currents feel a force n a magnetc feld Magnets come only as dpole pars of N and S poles (no monopoles). Magnetc feld exerts a force on movng charges (.e. on currents). N S N S N S The force s perpendcular to both the feld and the velocty (.e. t uses the cross product). The magnetc force can not change a partcle s speed or KE F B q v B A charged partcle movng n a unform magnetc feld moves n a crcle or a spral. mv qb R c qb c m Because currents are movng charges, a wre carryng current n a magnetc feld feels a force also usng cross product. Ths force s responsble for the motor effect. For a current loop, the Magnetc dpole moment, torque, and potental energy are gven by: F B LB N A nˆ m U m B B Copyrght R. Janow Fall 013
Magnetc felds are due to currents Oersted - 180: A magnetc compass s deflected by current Magnetc felds are due to currents (free charges & n wres) In fact, currents are the only way to create magnetc felds.
