What's In
We will begin our discovery on magnetism, where most familiar
applications are always related to magnets and magnetic materials. It should
be noted that the basic characteristic of magnets was caused by the
interactions of electric charges in motion. We can say that the magnetic field
can be produced by either a magnet itself or even the current moving around
the conductor. Forces and fields will also be studied in this module, as well
as their practical applications in electric motors, TV picture tubes, particle
accelerators, magnetrons, and ovens.

What's New
Can we build a train without
wheels? Is it possible to build a train
that floats and glides smoothly without
touching the rail? It sounds another
science fiction, but this technology
exists now as maglev trains. The term
maglev train was derived from the word
magnetic levitation. This innovation
offers a safe, high-speed, and energy-
efficient transport system.
It started as early as the 20th
century when Robert Goddard and
Emile Bachelet proposed the concept of a floating vehicle using magnets.
Later, they were recognized as the patent owner for magnetic and levitating
trains. During the 1970s, Germany and Japan started to build research on
maglev trains. Later, German research on maglev trains was shut down.
China took the opportunity and commissioned the Germans to build the
TransRapid train in Shanghai. Shanghai maglev resulted as the high-speed
maglev train commercially used. It can carry passengers to as far as 19 miles
with a speed of 250 mph. On the other hand, Japan built the fastest bullet
trains in the world, which could run at 375 mph. Today, Japan is building
Chuo Shinkansen line, which will link Tokyo and Nagoya for only 40 minutes
compared to a 1 hour and a half trip using Tokaido Line.
Activity 1. Maglev Trains.
The figure below shows the maglev train structures (Transpid Guideway and
MLX Guideway) compared to the standard railway system.
In order to function as a maglev train, it needs the essential parts.
These are levitation, propulsion, and suspension.
The Japanese Maglev is said to be the
world’s fastest bullet train

Image Source: https://sites.tufts.edu/eeseniordesignhandbook/2015/maglev-magnetic-levitating-trains/
The train travels at 93 mph, which could build a stronger magnetic
field, allowing the train to be lifted (levitated) 4 inches off the ground. The
magnetic forces are needed for guidance, so the train moves forward and
stays at the center.
Maglev train technology holds great promises in terms of
transportation. The benefits it could offer are hard for us to deny. This
transportation breakthrough has provided us an opportunity to bring
science fiction ideas into reality.

What Is It
Magnetic Force
A charge distribution builds an electric field E, and the field
exerted a force on every charge present. Figure 1 shows a moving
charge which creates a magnetic field around the charge and exerts a
force on any moving charge.
Figure 1. The magnetic force F action on the charge q moving with velocity v. The
vectors are perpendicular to each other.
Image source: http://www.actucation.com/college-physics-2/presence-of-only-magnetic-field
The magnetic force can then be expressed as
where F is the magnetic force in terms of Newtons (N), v is the
velocity in terms of m/s, |q| is the absolute value of the charge; v is the
velocity of the charge perpendicular to the quantities, B is the magnetic
field in terms of Tesla (T) and is the angle measured from the direction
of velocity towards the magnetic field.
Tesla = 1 T =
1 Gauss (G) = 10-4 T
The directions of the
major quantities can be
familiarized using the right-
hand rule. The thumb
represents the direction of the
velocity of the charge, the

8.

middle finger represents the magnetic force, and the pointing finger
represents the magnetic field.
Figure 2. Right-Hand Rule

questions/106521/force-on-a-moving-charge-in-magnetic-field
When the charge is negative, the magnetic force's direction is now
opposite to the direction given in Figure 1. Try to point the velocity in the
direction shown by the figure by turning your hand on a counterclockwise
rotation.

Most of the diagrams would deal with the following signs that are
usually used for the direction of magnetic forces, magnetic field, and
velocity.

Example 1:
A proton beam moves through a region of space where the magnetic field
is a uniform value of 2.0 T directed along the positive z-axis. The protons
have a velocity of magnitude 3.0 x 105 m/s in the xz plane at an angle of
30° to the positive z-axis. Find the force on the proton (Recall the charge

Using the right-hand rule, the middle finger points the magnetic force
along the negative y-axis while the magnetic field is along the positive
z-axis.
G What is the
conclusion?
Therefore, the force is 4.8 x 10-14 N

Magnetic Field Lines and Magnetic Flux
Figure 5 shows the magnetic field lines produced by different shapes
of a permanent magnet. The magnetic field of Earth is also shown in figure
6. Unlike electric field lines, the magnetic field lines do not point in the
direction of the force of charges.

Magnetic flux is defined similarly to electric flux. The magnetic flux
through the surface is the amount of magnetic field lines in the surface.
This is expressed as:
The SI unit for magnetic flux is Weber (Wb).
1 Wb = 1
On the other hand, the magnetic flux density is expressed as
The SI unit for magnetic field density is 1 T =
The Motion of Charged Particles in a Magnetic Field
When a charged particle moves in a uniform magnetic field, it
follows a circular path with the initial velocity situated perpendicular to
the magnetic field. The cross sign implies that the magnetic field is
directed towards the paper.
Magnetic flux is maximum
The angle between the
field and the normal line
of the area is zero
cos 0°= 1
Magnetic flux is zero
The angle between the
field and the normal line
of the area is 90 degrees
cos 90°= 0
Magnetic flux > 0

Magnetic Force on a Conductor
We derive the expression for the force on moving charges along the
length of a conductor given its cross-sectional area A.

Figure 8. Magnetic force on a current carrying conductor
Image source: https://powerinception.com/force-on-a-current-carrying-conductor-in-a-magnetic-field.html
This force can be expressed as:
where F is the magnetic force expressed in Newtons (N), I is the
current expressed in Amperes (A), l is the length expressed in meter (m),
B is the magnetic field expressed as Tesla (T) and is the angle between
the conductor and in degrees.
Example 3:
A straight wire carries a 5.0 A current from left to right in a region
between the poles of large electromagnet where a horizontal magnetic field
directed at northeast with a magnitude of 1.20 T. What is the magnitude
and direction of the force on a 1m section of a wire?
A What is/are given? I = 5.0 A; B=1.20 T at 45 degrees northeast
B What is asked?
C Are the units

formula?
Yes
D How will you

problem? 45°

E What strategy must
be employed?
We use the magnetic force formula for
conductor
F Solution
( )( )( )
If you place your thumb and pointing finger in the direction indicated
in the paper, your middle finger will point upward in terms of
direction. This represents the magnetic force. This means the
magnetic force is towards you or out of the paper.
G What is the
conclusion?
Therefore, the force is 42.4 N directed outside the
paper.
Force and Torque on a Current Loop
Conductors carrying current are usually formed into closed loops.
The total sum of the force on the loop is just zero but the torque acting on
the loop
(recall previous module in previous quarter) has some important
properties. The figure below shows the forces on each side of the current
loop.

(1) The force F on the right
side of the loop is directed
along the direction of the
positive x-axis while B is
directed along +z axis.
Confirm this with the right-
hand rule. Make sure fingers
are perpendicular to each
other.
where a represents the
length
(2) The force F is now
directed at the -y axis while
the magnetic field is directed
at +z-axis. Confirm this with
the right-hand rule. Make
sure fingers are
perpendicular to each other.
( )
where a represents the
length
(3) The force F is now
directed at -x axis. Hence, it
is -F. The magnetic field is
directed towards the -z-axis.

16.

(4) The force is directed at +y-
axis. The magnetic field is
still directed at +z axis.
( )
(1) and (2) are zero due to
opposite signs and similar
magnitude while (2) and (4)
then form a couple:
The product IA represents the magnetic moment m of the loop:
We can also derive an expression for a circular loop with radius R.
This is an arrangement with a solenoid. It is a coil wound into a circular
cylinder.
where
For a solenoid with a number of N turns within a uniform field B
Example 4:
A circular coil of wire 0.0500 m in radius, having 30 turns, lies in a
horizontal plane. It carries a current of 5.00 A in a counterclockwise
rotation when viewed from above. The coil is in the magnetic field directed
towards the right with a magnitude of 1.20 T. Find the magnetic moment
and the torque on the coil.
A What is/are given? R = 0.0500 m
I = 5.00 A
B = 12.0 T

consistent with the
formula?
E What strategy
must be
employed?
We use the magnetic moment and the torque for
a circular loop
F Solution
We solve first for the area:
( ) ( )
Then, we plug in the value of A in the magnetic moment of the coil:

conclusion?
Therefore, the torque and magnetic moment of the
coil with 30 turns is 1.178 Am2 and 1.41 Nm,
respectively.
The Direct-Current Motor
Electric motors are considered to be vital in modern society. The
operation of the electric motors is dependent on the conductors carrying
current. The given figure (figure 10) shows an example of a direct current
electric motor. The motor converts the electrical energy into mechanical
energy.

Figure 10. Direct current electric motor
Image Source: https://www.britannica.com/science/magnetic-field
Figure 11. Parts of an Electric Motor
Image Source: https://www.dukeelectric.com/electric-motor-failure/
Figure 11 shows the parts of an electric motor. The following are its
functions:
1. Stator – It a static unit that contains magnetic field windings. Its
function is to receive the supply from the power source.
2. Rotor – it is the moving part where it creates a mechanical rotation
of the unit.
3. Yoke – It is a magnetic frame made of iron or steel. This functions
as a protector. The cover keeps the inner parts of the motor safer
and helps in supporting the armature. It contains the magnetic
poles and field windings that are needed to help the field system.
4. Poles – The magnetic poles of the DC motor fit into the inner wall of
the yoke and helps them in tightening. The parts of the poles are
pole core and pole shoe. The pole core holds the pole shoe. The pole
shoe will carry the slots for the field and help in the production of

19.
17
the flux between the rotor and stator. This also helps in reducing
the loss.
5. Brushes – This component functions with the commutator. It
functions as a bridge that will connect the static electric circuit to the
rotor.
6. Field windings – It is made of copper wire which surrounds the slots
of poles shoes. The windings are capable of forming an electromagnet
which will lead to producing flux. Effective flux cutting happens as
the rotor armature rotates within the field flux.
7. Armature Windings – The armature winding is composed of lap
winding and wave winding. The parallel paths make them different
from each other. This component is attached to the rotor and helps in
alternating the magnetic field of the path it rotates since magnetic
loss happens with respect to time.
8. DC Motor Commutator – The commutator is a split ring that is
made of copper. The operating system of the direct currents is based
on the interactive magnetic fields between the rotating armature and
the fixed stator. When the north pole of the armature is attracted to
the south pole of the stator, and vice-versa, the force is produced to
make it turn. Commutation refers to the constant torque in one
direction. The main goal of the commutation is to verify the torque
acting in the same direction. Since the voltage from the armature is
alternating, the commutator converts it into direct current. This is
where the commutator turns the coils on and off.
