D)   Direction of the force on a wire carrying current in a magnetic field

 

3rd Left Hand Rule - Wire in a magnetic field

 

1)    Draw magnetic Flux lines (______________________)

2)    Left Thumb - Point in direction of current

3)    Place four fingers in the direction of the magnetic field

4)    Palm shows direction of the force on the conductor

 

Top View - Wire in a magnetic Field - Figure 1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    

 

 

In which direction will the force on this wire be directed? Up or Down?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Figure 2                                                         Figure 3

 

Figure 2 - In which direction will the force on this wire be directed? Up or Down?

 

Figure 3 - In which direction will the force on this wire be directed? Up or  Down?

 

The force on conductor is maximum when conductor is placed

 

______________________to field and zero when it moves

 

___________________ to field.

E)    Forces between current carrying wires

 

              Opposite Currents Wires ______

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Same Current Direction/Wires attract 

 

                  

 

 

 

 

 

 

When wires are _________________, no forces exist between the wires

 

F)     Magnetic Force on moving charges

 

When a _____________ is shot through a ____________ it experiences a force.

 

 

If you wanted to maximize the force on the charge:

 

a)    How would you shoot a charge through a magnetic field?

Fast or Slow??

 

b)    What kind of charge would you use? Big or Small??

 

c)     What kind of magnetic field would you use? Big or Small??

 

 

1.     F magnetic = Bq v       B - flux density of magnetic field (strength)

 

          q - charge ( C)

                

                                                v - velocity (m/s)

 

 

 

 

 

The magnetic force is _________________ when the charge

 

Moving  _______________________ to field

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The _______________________ is ____when the charge moving

 

_________ to field

 

 

 

 

 

2. Finding the direction of the magnetic force on a free charge moving through a magnetic field

 

Use 3rd Left hand Rule

 

·        thumb - direction of moving _____________

·        4 fingers - direction of magnetic Field

·        palm - direction of force on charge

 

 

 

 

 

Figure 1: When this charge reaches the magnetic field, where will it be pushed? Answer: Into or Out of the page?

 

 

·        Draw in flux lines

·        thumb - direction of moving _______________

·        4 fingers - direction of magnetic Field

·        palm - direction of force on charge
