 Magnetic forces are exerted by magnets on other magnets,

by magnets on current-carrying wires, and by current-carrying


wires on each other.
 The force exerted by one wire on the other is attractive
when the currents are flowing in the same direction and F  IlB
repulsive when the currents are flowing in opposite
directions.
 The magnetic force exerted on a moving charge of an electric current
is perpendicular to both the velocity of the charges and to the magnetic
field.
 This force is
proportional to the
quantity of the charge
and the velocity of the
moving charge and to
the strength of the
magnetic field:

F  qvB
Two long parallel wires of 30cm long carry
currents of 5 A and 10 A in opposite directions
as shown. What is the strength of the magnetic
field produced by the 5-A wire at the position
of the 10-A wire?
a) 2.4 x 10-6 T
b) 2.0 x 10-5 T
c) 1.2 x 10-5 T
d) 1.2 x 10-4 T
e) 2.4 x 10-4 T
F  6 105 N  IlB
where l  0.30 m is the length of the 10A wire,
B is due to the 5A current,
and I is the 10A current.

B 

Il 10 A0.30 m

 2 105 T
 For this relationship to be valid, the velocity must be
perpendicular to the field.
 This actually defines the magnetic field as the force
per unit charge and unit of velocity:
F
units: 1 tesla (T) = 1 N/Am B
qv 
If the index finger of the
right hand points in the
direction of the velocity of
the charge, and the middle
finger in the direction of the
magnetic field, then the
thumb indicates the
direction of the magnetic
force acting on a positive
charge.

the direction of the force?
 A). Up
 B). Right
 C). Left
 D). down
 E). No force on the electron
 The force on a moving positively
charged particle is perpendicular to
the particle’s motion and to the
magnetic field, just as the force on
a current is perpendicular to the
current and to the field.

 Because the force is perpendicular


to the velocity of the particle, the
force does no work on the particle.

 It cannot increase the particle’s kinetic


energy; it only serves to change the
direction of the particle’s motion.

 It provides a centripetal acceleration.

 If the charge is moving perpendicular


to a uniform magnetic field, the particle
will follow a circular path.
