PHYSICS
MAGNETISM
 force of attraction or
repulsion cause by the
movement of charged
participles.
Magnetic Poles
A region on a magnet which
produces magnetic forces
Fundamental Rule
Like poles repel; opposite poles
attract
Magnetic Field
The space around a magnet in
which a magnetic force is exerted. The
shape of a magnetic field is revealed by
magnetic field lines. The strength of
magnetic fields are measured in units of
Tesla (T)
Magnetic Domain:
Clusters of aligned atoms
If the magnetic domains of a material
can align, this material is called
ferromagnetic.
Permanent magnets are made by placing
materials in strong magnetic fields
HANS CHRISTIAN OERSTED
He found that a compass needle
was deflected by a current- carrying
wire.
ELECTROMAGNETISM
use of electric current to make
magnet
ELECTROMAGNETS
Temporarily induced magnets
PERMEABILITY OF A FREE SPACE
The measure of the ability of a
material, in this case free space, to
support a magnetic field
SOLENOID
A thin wire wound into a coil
that produces a magnetic field when a
current is passed through it.
Fundamental rule: like poles repel;
unlike poles attract
Right hand rule 2 (RHR 2)
It is a rule to determine the
direction of the magnetic field induced
by a current-carrying wire.

ELECTRIC CURRENT IN DIFFERENT
GEOMETRIC
1. LONG STRAIGHT WIRE
Formula: B= µᵒI/ 2πr
WHERE: µᵒ-permeability of free
Space
- 4π x 10 -7 Tm/A - (constant
value)
 r- distance of the point
considered from the axis
(m)
 current (A)
 B- long straight wire
2. SOLENOID
It is a long, tightly wound helical
coil of wire
Formula: B= µᵒnI
WHERE:
 n= N (# of turns) / L (m)
length of the solenoid
 I= current (A)
3. MAGNETIC FORCE
F = ILxB (formula number 1)
WHERE:
 F: force
 I: current
 L: length
 B: Long straight wire
1. A magnetic field of magnitude 2.50 x
10-3 T is measured at distance of
5.0 m from a long straight wire. What is
the current through the wire?

2. What is the field inside a 10.00 m
long solenoid that has1000 loops and
carries a 1000 A current?

3. A magnetic field of 0.90 Tesla is

pointing straight upwards. A wire of the
length 2.75 m lies in the horizontal plane
and carries a current of 5.40 A towards
the east. What is the magnitude and
direction of the magnetic force acting on
this wire?
