3. Magnetic Field
• A magnetic field is a region in which a body
with magnetic properties experiences a force.
4. Sources of Magnetic Field
• Magnetic fields are produced by electric
currents, which can be macroscopic currents in
wires, or microscope currents associated with
electrons in atomic orbits.
5. Magnetic Field Lines
• A magnetic field is visualised using
magnetic lines of force which are
imaginary lines such that the tangent
at any point gives the direction of the
magnetic field at that point.
7. The Earth’s Magnetic Field
• The Earth's magnetic field appears
to come from a giant bar magnet,
but with its south pole located up
near the Earth's north pole.

9. Fleming’s Left Hand Rule
• If you point your left forefinger in the direction of
the magnetic field, and your second finger in the
direction of the current flow, then your thumb will
point naturally in the direction of the resulting
force!

16. The Earth’s Magnetosphere
Earth can be viewed as a gigantic bar magnet spinning in space.
• Its toroidal magnetic field encases the planet like a huge inner tube.
• This field shields Earth from the solar wind—a continuous stream of charged
particles cast off by the sun.
Produces a bullet-shaped cavity called the magnetosphere.
It also traps charged particles – leads to the radiation or Van Allen belts.
17. The Earth’s Radiation Belts
Particles are trapped by the non-uniform geomagnetic field – much like a magnetic bottle
– they bounce back and forth from one hemisphere to another.
The trapped particles tend to congregate in distinct bands based on their charge, energy,
and origin.
Two primary bands of trapped particles exist: the one closer to Earth is
predominantly made up of protons, while the one farther away is mostly electrons.
18. Magnetic Field Measurements
• Using a current balance (d.c.)
• Using a search coil (a.c.)
• Using a Hall probe (d.c.)
19. Magnetic flux density due to a
straight wire
• Experiments show that the magnetic flux
density at a point near a long straight wire is
r
I
B ∝
r
P וTThis relationship is valid as long as r, the
perpendicular distance to the wire, is much
less than the distance to the ends of the wire.

21. Magnetic Field due to a Solenoid
• The magnetic field is strongest at the
centre of the solenoid and becomes
weaker outside.

density inside a solenoid is

27. Force on a moving charge in a
magnetic field
• The force on a moving charge is proportional
to the component of the magnetic field
perpendicular to the direction of the velocity of
the charge and is in a direction perpendicular
to both the velocity and the field.

29. Free Charging Moving in a
Uniform Magnetic Field
• If the motion is
exactly at right
angles to a uniform
field, the path is
turned into a circle.
• In general, with the
motion inclined to
the field, the path is
helix round the lines
of force.
30. Mass Spectrometer
• The mass spectrometer is used
to measure the masses of atoms.
• Ions will follow a straight
line path in this region.
• Ions follow a circular
path in this region.

31. Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights)
• Charged ions
approach the Earth
from the Sun (the
“solar wind” and are
drawn toward the
poles, sometimes
causing a
phenomenon called
the aurora borealis.
32. Causes of Aurora Borealis
• The charged particles from
the sun approaching the
Earth are captured by the
magnetic field of the Earth.
• Such particles follow the
field lines toward the poles.
• The high concentration of
charged particles ionizes
the air and recombining of
electrons with atoms emits
light.

33. Hall Effect
• When a current carrying conductor is held firmly
in a magnetic field, the field exerts a sideways
force on the charges moving in the conductor.
• A buildup of charge at the sides of the conductor
produces a measurable voltage between the two
sides of the conductor.
• The presence of this
measurable transverse
voltage is called the
Hall effect.
34. Hall Voltage
• The transverse voltage builds up until the
electric field it produces exerts an electric
force on the moving charges that equal and
opposite to the magnetic force.
• The transverse voltage produced is called the
Hall voltage.
35. Charge Carriers in the Hall Effect
• The Hall voltage has a different polarity
for positive and negative charge carriers.
• That is, the Hall voltage can reveal the
sign of the charge carriers.
36. Hall Probe
• Basically the Hall probe is a small piece
of semiconductor layer.
• When control current IC
is flowing through the
semiconductor and
magnetic field B is
applied, the resultant
Hall voltage VH can be
measured on the sides
• Four leads are connected to the midpoints
of opposite sides.
37. Force between two parallel
current-carrying straight wires (1)
1. Parallel wires with current flowing in the
same direction, attract each other.
2. Parallel wires with current flowing in the
opposite direction, repel each other.
38. Force between two parallel
current-carrying straight wires (2)
• Note that the force exerted on I2 by I1 is equal
but opposite to the force exerted on I1 by I2.

39. Definition of the ampere
• The ampere is the constant current
which, if maintained in two parallel
conductors of infinite length, of negligible
cross-section, and placed one metre
apart in a vacuum, would produce
between these conductors force of 2 x 10-
7
N per metre of length.
40. Torque on a Rectangular Current-
carrying Coil in a Uniform Magnetic Field
• Let the normal to the coil plane make an
angle θ with the magnetic field.
• The torque τ is given by θτ sinNBAI=
41. Moving Coil Galvanometer
• A moving coil galvanometer consists of a coil of
copper wire which is able to rotate in a magnetic
field.
• The magnetic field is produced in the narrow air
gap between concave pole pieces of a
permanent magnet and a fixed soft-iron cylinder.
• The coil is pivoted on jewelled bearings and its
rotation is resisted by a pair of spiral hair springs.
42. Radial Magnetic Field
• In order to have a meter with a linear scale,
the field lines in the gap should be always
parallel to the plane of the coil as it rotates.
• This could be achieved if we have a radial
magnetic field. The soft iron cylinder gives
us this field shape.
43. The Principle of a Moving Coil
Galvanometer
• The torque due to the current in the coil is
given by NBAI=τ
• The coil rotates until
• The resisting couple due to the hair springs
is ατ k='
'ττ =
• Then we have
k
NBAI
=α
Where α is the angle of deflection
and k is the torsion constant.
Iei ∝α..
44. Current Sensitivity
• The current sensitivity of a galvanometer is
defined as the deflection per unit current.
k
NBA
I
=
α
• High current sensitivity can be achieved by
• A coil of large area,
• A coil of large number of turns,
• Large value of B which could be achieved by
using strong magnet and narrow air gap.
• Hair springs with small torsion constant k.
Unit : Rad A-1
or mm A-1
45. Limitation of High Current Sensitivity
• If the coil is too large, the moment of inertia is
also large and hence the coil would swing
about its deflection position before a reading
can be taken.
• If the coil has a large number of turns, the air
gap needs to be wide.
• If the hair springs have small torsion
constant, the restoring torque would become
weak and the coil would swing before coming
to rest.
46. Voltage Sensitivity
• The voltage sensitivity of a galvanometer is
defined as the deflection per unit voltage
across the galvanometer.
kR
NBA
V
=
α Unit : rad V-1
or mm V-1
Where R is the resistance of the galvanometer.
• High voltage sensitivity is desirable in
circuits of relatively low resistance.

54. Power in Electric Circuits
A battery sets up a current
in a circuit containing an
unspecified conducting
device
The battery maintains a voltage V across its
own terminals, and thus across the terminals
of the unspecified device. The amount of
charge dq that moves between those terminals
in time interval dt is equal to i dt. This charge
moves through a potential decrease in
magnitude by the amount
The moving charge loses potential at rate of dU/dt = i V
The power associated with this transfer of energy is the rate of transfer, which is
The unit of power that follows
