Magnetic field. Interaction between the conductor and current, Amper's experiments. Magnetic induction vector.
Lesson objectives
to explain the physical meaning of magnetic induction vector based on problem solving and modern technological advances (magnetic levitation train, etc.)
Magnetic induction
When a magnetic material is close to a magnet, it becomes a magnet itself
We say it has induced magnetism

Magnetic field
Magnets and electric currents produce magnetic fields around them.
In a magnetic field, another magnet, a magnetic material or a moving charge will experience a magnetic force.

Magnetic field lines
The arrows show the direction a compass needle would point at that point in the field.
Magnetic field lines
The closer the field lines are, the stronger the magnetic force felt
The arrows show the direction a compass needle would point at that point in the field.
Note that magnetic field is a vector quantity
Earth’s Magnetic Field
Remember the North of a compass needle points to the geographic north pole (i.e. the geographic North pole is a magnetic south pole!)
Defining Magnetic Field B
The size of the force on a wire in a field depends on the size of the field (B), the length of wire in the field (L) and the current in the wire (I)
Defining Magnetic Field B
F = kBIL
We can make k = 1 by defining the Tesla as the magnetic field when the force on 1 m of wire carrying a current of 1 A is 1 N.
Force on a current in a field
Thus the force on a length L of wire carrying a current I in a magnetic field B is given by F = BILsinθ where θ is the angle between the current and the magnetic field.
The force on a moving charge in a magnetic field
Since a current experiences a force in a magnetic field, and a current is just made of moving charges, moving charges themselves must experience a force in a magnetic field.

The force on a moving charge in a magnetic field
Consider a positive charge q moving with speed v.

The force on a moving charge in a magnetic field
In time Δt the charge will have moved a distance L = vΔt

The force on a moving charge in a magnetic field
The fact that this force is always at right angles to the velocity means that the charge will move in a circle (if the speed is constant)

Note; If the force is perpendicular to the motion, no work is done.
