A magnetic field exists when a moving charge thru it experiences a force, Magnetic Force on a moving charge: F=Bqvsin® where: B = magnetic induction (web/m?, N/A-m) q= charge of a moving body (q. =1.6 x 10°C ) v= velocity of a charged body (m/s) @ = angle between velocity and magnetic induction B Note: Force varies with respect to sin @ from 0 to maximum . Force (F) is zero when charges move parallel to B. Force (F) is maximum F=!¢when charges move perpendicular to B. LEFT-HAND MOTOR RULE: It determines the direction of the magnetic force. The thumb, forefinger and center finger of the left hand are perpendicular to each other. The forefinger points to the direction of magnetic field, the center finger indicates the direction of component of velocity (Or component of current) perpendicular to the field and the thumb determines the direction of the force. Motion of the charged body: When a charge is projected perpendicular to the field, it traces a circular path assuming that there is no friction. The size of the circle is defined by its radius, oO v R= mv/Bq where: v= tangential speed B = magnetic induction q= charge of moving body m= mass of moving body Other quantities describing the charge moving in circular path as follows: © = angular velocity (rad/sec) @ = Bq /m (rad/ sec) f = frequency of rotation (rev/sec) f = Bq / 2mm (rev/ sec) T = Period of revohution (sec) T= 2am / Bq Magnetic Force on Current Conductor F= BILsin@ where: B = magnetic induction (web/m2) current in the wire (A) L = length of wire (m) = angle from wire to flux or field +F varies from zero to maximum with respect to sin 6. *If conductor is parallel to field, F is zero. *If conductor is perpendicular to field, F is maximum.
