Magnetism

Il magnetismo è stato osservato per la prima volta oltre 2500 anni fa vicino all'antica città di Magnesia.
I magneti possono essere trovati in oggetti di uso quotidiano come altoparlanti, carte di credito, bussole e dispositivi di memoria.
Una barra magnetica ha un polo nord e un polo sud. Quando un chiodo di ferro non magnetizzato viene portato a contatto con esso, si magnetizza.
Come i poli di un magnete si respingono, mentre i poli diversi si attraggono.
I poli di un magnete non possono essere separati rompendoli in due pezzi. Invece, si ottengono magneti più piccoli, ciascuno con un'estremità nord e un'estremità sud. Quindi, i monopoli magnetici non vengono mai osservati.
In una bussola di navigazione, l'ago è una sottile barra magnetica sospesa al centro.
Il polo nord di una bussola è attratto vicino al polo nord geografico della Terra.
La Terra si comporta anche come un'enorme barra magnetica, con il suo polo sud magnetico vicino al polo nord geografico e il suo polo nord magnetico vicino al polo sud geografico.
L'asse del magnete terrestre e l'asse geografico non coincidono. Questa deviazione è chiamata declinazione magnetica.

magnetismo

I magneti sono comunemente presenti negli oggetti di uso quotidiano, come giocattoli, appendiabiti, ascensori, campanelli e dispositivi informatici. Sperimentazioni su questi magneti mostrano che tutti i magneti hanno due poli: uno è etichettato come nord (N) e l'altro sud (S). I poli magnetici si respingono se sono simili e si attraggono se sono diversi. Inoltre, entrambi i poli di un magnete attraggono pezzi di ferro non magnetizzati.

Non è possibile isolare un polo magnetico individuale. Ogni pezzo di un magnete, per quanto piccolo, contiene un polo nord e un polo sud. Questa proprietà dei magneti differisce dalla proprietà delle cariche elettriche, in cui sia cariche positive che negative possono esistere in isolamento.

Un esempio di magnete è l'ago della bussola. Si tratta di un sottile magnete a barra sospeso al centro, quindi libero di ruotare in un piano orizzontale. Anche la Terra agisce come un gigantesco magnete, con il suo polo sud magnetico vicino al suo Polo Nord geografico. Il polo nord di una bussola è attratto verso il Polo Nord geografico della Terra perché il Polo Nord geografico della Terra è vicino al suo polo sud magnetico.

Nel 1819, il fisico danese Hans Oersted stava facendo una dimostrazione durante una lezione per alcuni studenti e notò che un ago della bussola si muoveva ogni volta che passava corrente in un filo vicino. Ulteriori indagini su questo fenomeno convinsero Oersted che una corrente elettrica potesse in qualche modo causare una forza magnetica.

Oggi, il magnetismo svolge molti ruoli importanti nella nostra vita. La comprensione del magnetismo da parte dei fisici ha permesso lo sviluppo di tecnologie che influenzano sia gli individui che la società. Ad esempio, il tablet elettronico nella borsa o nello zaino non sarebbe stato possibile senza le applicazioni del magnetismo e dell'elettricità su piccola scala.

Tutti i motori elettrici contengono magneti. I generatori, che producano energia idroelettrica o alimentino luci da bicicletta, utilizzano campi magnetici. Le strutture di riciclaggio impiegano magneti per separare il ferro dagli altri rifiuti. La ricerca sull'utilizzo del contenimento magnetico della fusione come fonte energetica futura è proseguita per diversi anni. La risonanza magnetica (MRI) è diventata uno strumento diagnostico importante nel campo della medicina, e l'uso del magnetismo per esplorare l'attività cerebrale è oggetto di ricerca e sviluppo contemporanei. L'elenco delle applicazioni include anche i dischi rigidi dei computer, la registrazione su nastro, il rilevamento dell'amianto inalato e la levitazione dei treni ad alta velocità.

magnetic poles and everyday uses

Magnetism appears in many everyday objects, from toys and hangers to elevators, doorbells, and computer devices. Magnets have two poles, called north and south. Like poles repel each other, while unlike poles attract. Both poles can also attract unmagnetized iron. A single magnetic pole cannot be isolated, because every part of a magnet contains both a north pole and a south pole.

A compass needle is a simple example of a magnet. It is a thin bar magnet suspended at its center, so it can turn freely in a horizontal plane. Earth also behaves like a giant magnet. Its south-seeking pole is near the geographic North Pole. That is why the north end of a compass points toward Earth’s geographic North Pole, which is close to Earth’s magnetic south pole.

The link between electricity and magnetism became clear in 1819. During a lecture demonstration, Danish physicist Hans Oersted noticed that a compass needle moved when current flowed in a nearby wire. Further study showed that an electric current can create a magnetic force. This discovery helped scientists connect electric currents with magnetic effects.

Magnetism is important in many modern technologies. Electric motors contain magnets, and generators use magnetic fields to produce power, including hydroelectric power and bicycle lights. Recycling facilities use magnets to separate iron from other waste. Magnetism also supports MRI, computer hard drives, tape recording, detection of inhaled asbestos, research on brain activity, and the levitation of high-speed trains. Work on magnetic containment for fusion energy is also ongoing.

magnetic fields

Magnetic Force on Moving Charges

Magnetic force on moving charges depends on motion, charge, and field direction. A moving charge or a current creates a magnetic field in the space around it, along with its electric field. That magnetic field can then push on other moving charges or currents in the field. A magnetic field is a vector field, so it has direction as well as strength. At any point, the field direction is the direction a compass needle’s north pole points. The field strength is defined from the force a charged...

magnetic field lines

Reading Magnetic Field Lines

Magnetic field lines show the direction and strength of a magnetic field. They make it easier to picture how a magnet acts in space. Each line forms a closed loop around the magnet. For a bar magnet, the field lines leave the north pole and curve around to the south pole. They then continue through the magnet back to the north pole. This loop has no beginning or end. Magnetic field lines follow clear rules. The magnetic field points tangent to a field line at any point. A small compass points...

magnetic flux

Magnetic Flux Through Surfaces

Magnetic flux through a surface describes how much magnetic field passes across that surface. It is measured in weber (Wb), the SI unit for magnetic flux. Magnetic flux is a scalar quantity, not a vector. Three factors shape magnetic flux. They are the magnetic field strength B, the area the field crosses, and the orientation of the field relative to the surface. For a small area element dA, the flux depends on the part of the magnetic field that is normal, or perpendicular, to that element at...

Charged Particle Paths in Magnetic Fields

A charged particle in a magnetic field follows a path that depends on the direction of its velocity. When the field is uniform and the particle moves perpendicular to it, the magnetic field is the main factor that controls the motion, especially in a vacuum. The magnetic force is always perpendicular to the direction of motion, so the particle curves into a circle. Because the force stays perpendicular to velocity, it does no work on the particle. The kinetic energy and speed stay constant...

Magnetic Fields and Moving Charges

Magnetic fields and moving charges create magnetic force. A moving electric charge, or a current made of many moving charges, produces a magnetic field. When another current or moving charge enters that field, it feels a magnetic force in response. At the atomic level, magnetic forces come from interactions between moving electrons in the atoms of two bodies. The strength of magnetic force depends on several factors. It increases with the size of the charge and with the strength of the...

Current and Magnetic Field Around a Wire

A current-carrying wire creates a magnetic field around it, and moving charges feel a force in that field. Because the magnetic field produced by moving charges is proportional to current, the wire itself acts as a source of magnetic field. A compass placed near the wire shows this effect by lining up tangentially around the wire. The magnetic field around a straight wire forms concentric circular loops. The right-hand rule helps determine the direction of those loops. If the thumb points in...

Balancing Weight with Magnetic Force

Magnetic force can balance the weight of a current-carrying wire when the wire sits in a magnetic field. Moving charges in the wire feel a force, so the wire itself can be pushed upward or downward. This example uses a flexible wire that is 40 cm long and has a mass of 10 g. It is held in a horizontal position inside a constant 0.40 T magnetic field. The goal is to find the current needed to remove the tension in the supporting leads. To do that, a free-body diagram is drawn first. The diagram...

Current Loops and Torque in Motors

Current loops in a magnetic field create the torque that drives a DC motor. A DC motor converts electrical energy into mechanical work. In a motor, wire loops sit inside a magnetic field. When current flows through the loops, the magnetic field pushes on them and makes the shaft rotate. The current is reversed when the loop lines up with the magnetic field. This keeps the torque on the loop going in the same direction. A commutator and brushes handle this reversal. The commutator switches the...

Current Loop Torque in Electric Motors

Current loop torque in electric motors shows how magnetic force can make a wire loop rotate. In an electric motor, loops of wire sit between magnets in a magnetic field. When current flows through the loops, the field applies torque. This rotation turns a shaft and converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. A rectangular current-carrying loop with N turns in a uniform magnetic field has zero net force. Even so, it can still experience net torque. The torque depends on the current I,...

the hall effect

Hall Voltage and Charge Carriers

Hall voltage and charge carriers are explained through Edwin H. Hall’s 1879 experiment. His setup helped identify the polarity of the main charge carriers in a conducting material. It also showed, for the first time, that the charge carriers in most metals are negative. A metal slab is placed in a constant magnetic field. The electrons move from right to left, so the magnetic force pushes them toward the top edge of the slab. This leaves excess negative charge at the top and excess positive...

Electron Speed Selector in Thomson’s Tube

A velocity selector uses electric and magnetic fields to choose charged particles with one speed from a beam. Many beams from a heated cathode contain particles moving at different speeds, so this setup helps produce a uniform beam. The electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to the particle’s motion and to each other. In this arrangement, a particle with charge q, speed v, and mass m enters from the top. The magnetic field points into the plane of the paper, and the electric field...
