3. The magnetic lines of force emerge out from North Pole, pass
through the surrounding medium, and then again enter the South
Pole. We can say that, magnetic lines of force form closed loops.
7. The S.I unit of magnetic flux density is tesla (given by T), and its
c.g.s unit is gauss (given by G).
1 Tesla = 1 Wb / m2 = 104G
8. The magnetic flux (ΦB) through a region is the number of magnetic
lines of force passing normally through the region.
ΦB= A.B
Fm = q (v x B)
(mv2) / r = qvB
dB α (I dl sinθ) / r2
Or, dB = K (I dl sinθ)/ r2
Where θ is the angle between the small length dl and the line joining
it to point P, K is the constant of proportionality. It depends on the
medium around the conductor. In a vacuum or air K = μ0 / 4π.
(d). Biot savart law can not be tested directly as it is not possible
to have a current carrying conductor of length dl. But it can be
used to derive expressions for flux densities of real conductors
and these give values which are in agreement with those
determined by experiments.
m=nIA
B = (μ0nI) / 2r
b). If the point P is far away from the centre of the coil,
r >a, then
B = μ0 n I
(a). Right hand palm rule: We can find the direction of magnetic field
at the centre of a current carrying circular coil by right hand palm
rule, which states as follows,
Orient the thumb of your right hand perpendicular to the grip of the
fingers such that curvature of the fingers point in the direction of
current in the circular coil. Then thumb will point in the direction of
magnetic field lines near the centre of the circular coil.
(b). Right hand grip rule: If we have a straight current carrying wire,
the magnetic field lines can be found by using right hand grip rule,
which states as follows-
Grip the wire with your right hand with thumb pointing in the
direction of the conventional current. Then curled fingers point in the
direction of the magnetic field lines.
(c). Right hand rule for solenoid: We can find the direction of
magnetic field due to a current carrying solenoid by using right rule
for a coil of several turns which states as follows-
Graph the solenoid with right hand so that fingers are curled in the
direction of current, Then thumb stretched parallel to the axis of the
solenoid will point towards the N-pole end of the solenoid.
(d). Right hand fist rule: The magnetic field at the centre of a circular
coil is along the axis of the coil. We can find the direction of magnetic
field by right hand fist rule which states as follows-
Hold the axis of the coil in the right hand fist in such a way that
fingers point in the direction of current in the coil. Then outstretched
thumb gives the direction of the magnetic field.
We can apply all the above rules in reverse. If we know the direction
of magnetic field due to current carrying conductor arrangement, we
can determine the direction of current in the coil / conductor.
Orient your hand so that outstretched fingers point along the motion
of the positively charged particle, the orientation should be such that
when you bend your fingers, they must point along the direction of
magnetic field B. Then your extended thumb will point in the
direction of force on the charged particle.
We note that the electric field always does not exert force on an
electric charge which points in the direction parallel to the field,
Magnetic force point in the direction parallel to magnetic field nor
does it point in the direction of charge’s velocity. The magnetic force
is perpendicular to both the magnetic field and the charge’s velocity.
