Lecture notes:

 Motion of Changes in B
 
  • F = qv (cross product) B.... towards the center of the circle (centripetal force)
    • F = mac = mv2/r.....  r = radius of the circle
    • F = qvb
    • Therefore,  qvB =  mv2/r
      • v = qBr/ m
    • v = wr ( from circular motion)
    • v = 2pfr or   2pf = qB/m
  • f = qB/ 2pm
  • T = 1/f = 2pm / qB
  • Let us assume  a charges particle has v at some arbitrary angle with respect to B as it enters the magnetic field, v can be resolved into vx, vy, and vz.
  • ( vx is not affected by B, vy and vz   [magnitude = ( vy2 + vz2)1/2] are and show circular motion)
  • The most general motion of a charged particle is a helix.
    • See Figure 29-11c
    • See Figure 29-12
  • See also Problem 29-22
Differences between E and B fields
  • FE = qE (same direction)
    • FB = qv (cross product) B  ( force is perpendicular to B)
  • FE acts on a charge independent of whether v=0 or not zero
  • When a charged particle moves under E, work is being done
    • K.E. increases or decreases as v changes
  • When a charged particle moves in B, DW = FB ( dot product) ds = FB (dot product) v dt = 0
    • KE and speed do not change; direction of v does change

Charged Particle Moving in Crossed Field of E and B
  • F = qE + qv (cross product) B
  • E is perpendicular to B
 
    • B is into the paper
    • E is Down
    • qE is Up
    • qv (cross product) B is Up
  • If v= E/B, then qE + qv (cross product) B = F = 0
    • Therefore, the charges move in a straight line as shown above.
  • If v does not equal E/B, these charges will bend
    • This can be used as a velocity or K.E. selector.


 
 Mass Spectrometer
  • In region I, with E and B, velocity, v, of ion is defined by E and B
    • Ions move in a straight line
  • In region II, no Electric Field, B1 is the magnetic field.
    • The ions will move in a circle of r
    • You can show m/q = rBB1/E

Discovery of the Electron
  • No E, No B , the electrons will hit spot 1 on the screen
  • Turn on E, no B, the electrons hit spot 2, vertical displacement = y from spot 1
    • F = qE = may
    • ay = qE/m
    • y = (1/2)ay t2        L = vxt
    • y= (1/2) (qE/m) (L/vx)2
    • y = (1/2) (qEL2/ mvx2).... let this be equation 1
  • Keep E on, turn on B and adjust B so that electrons hit spot 1 again.
    • Fy = qE + q(v (cross product) B) = 0
    • vx = E/B.... let this be equation 2
  • Combine Equations 1 and 2
    • y = (1/2) (qEL2B2/ mE2) = (1/2) (qL2B2/ mE)
    • or.... m/q = L2B2/ 2yE

Magnetic Force on Current Carrying Wire
  • Vd = drift velocity of charges (same direction as i)
  • n = number of charges per unit volume
  • FB = q (vd (cross product) B)  multiplied by the number of charges = q (vd (cross product) B)(nAL)
  • Drift velocity is in the direction of the wire, therefore FB = q (L (cross product) B)(nAL (absoulute value of vd)
  • Recall that i= qd/qt = nq(dx)A/dt = nqvdA
    • Therefore FB = i (L (cross product) B), where L is the vector in the direction of i
    • The above equation is true for a straight wire.
  • What if the wire is not straight (direction of current not constant)?
    • Divide the wire inot small segments
      • dFB = i (ds (cross product) B)
    • If we want to know the total force on a long section of wire....
    • F = i I(integral) ds (cross product) B
  • The total force in any closed current loop in a magnetic field is zero.
  • See Sample Problem 29-7 from page 714 of the text book.
