Similarly a magnet produces a magnetic field-at all points in space around it. About 200 years ago, in 1820 it was realised that both electricity and magnetism are intimately related. During a lecture demonstration, the Danish physicist Hans Christian Oersted noticed that a current in a straight wire caused a noticeable deflection in a nearby magnetic compass needle. Oersted concluded that moving charges or currents produce a magnetic field in the surrounding space. In this chapter, we will see how magnetic field exerts force on moving charged particle, like electrons, protons and current carrying wires. We shall also learn how current produces magnetic fields. We shall see how particles can be accelerated to very high energies in a cyclotron. We shall study how currents and voltages are detected by a galvanometer. Chapter 19 Moving Charges and Magnetism MAGNETIC FORCE Magnetic Field, Lorentz Force Consider a point charge q moving with velocity v is located at position vector r at a given time t. If electric field E and magnetic field B are existing at that point, then force on the electric charge q is given by electric magnetic F qE v B F F The force exerted by a magnetic field is called magnetic force and is written as ( ) F qv B , here q is the charge of the particle, v is its velocity and B is the magnetic field. The direction of magnetic force is perpendicular to both v and B .

It can be determined by right hand thumb rule or right hand screw rule. When = 90°, magnetic force is maximum in magnitude Fmax = qvB and direction is obtained by v B × B v v B × B v Fleming’s left hand rule : If we stretch the thumb and first two fingers of left hand in mutually perpendicular directions such that forefinger points along B and middle finger points along v , then the thumb points along F . B v F F B v Properties of Magnetic Force on Charge (i) As F qv B is , thus from the property of cross product, force is perpendicular to velocity as well as magnetic field vector. (ii) If the charge is not moving ||0 v , the magnetic force is zero.

(iv) Magnetic Lorentz force cannot change the speed and kinetic energy of a charged particle but changes its velocity and momentum (only direction). (v) As F v , F v. (power delivered by magnetic Lorentz force) = 0. It can also be noted that work done by it is also always zero.

Hence, the kinetic energy or the speed of the particle doesn’t change due to the magnetic force. When a charged particle q is thrown in magnetic field B with a velocity v then the force acting on the particle is given by F = Bqvsin where is the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field. Case I : = 0° or 180° Path followed : Straight line q q = 0° = 180° B sin0 0 F qvB So it will continue to move in a straight line with constant velocity. Case II : = 90° Path followed : Circular The magnetic lorentz force acts perpendicular to velocity; so it provides the centripetal force causing the charged particle to move in a circular path of radius R with constant speed. 2 mv F qvB R Radius of circular path mv R qB If charged particles enters with same momentum mv P R qB qB If charged particles enters with some kinetic energy, 2 km R qB Angular velocity ( ) v qB R m F P q F B q F q r Time period of revolution (T) = 2 2 m qB Frequency of revolution (f) = 1 2 qB T m
