Admin:• mid-term 2 grades and solutions posted. Scripts back at the end• Average = 84% (up from 72%). Excellent work!• Assignment 10 posted.

• Due on Monday (May 18th) • Missed assignments can be completed up until the final

(May 22nd).• The class is over after the final exam

• no extensions or late assignments after this.• Any issues with grades (labs, assignments, mid-terms) must

be resolved before then with me or your TA.

Chapter 27Magnetism


A uniform magnetic field is constant in magnitude and direction.

The field between these two wide poles is nearly uniform.

27-1 Magnets and Magnetic Fields


Experiment shows that an electric current produces a magnetic field. The direction of the field is given by a right-hand rule.

27-2 Electric Currents Produce Magnetic Fields


27-2 Electric Currents Produce Magnetic Fields

Here we see the field due to a current loop; the direction is again given by a right-hand rule.


A magnet exerts a force on a current-carrying wire. The direction of the force is given by a right-hand rule.

27-3 Force on an Electric Current in a Magnetic Field; Definition of B


Internet hints…


The force on the wire depends on the current, the length of the wire, the magnetic field, and its orientation:

This equation defines the magnetic field B.

In vector notation :



Vector Cross Product;

The vector cross product is defined as:

The direction of the cross product is defined by a right-hand rule:

11-2 Vector Cross Product; Torque as a Vector

Some properties of the cross product:


Unit of B: the tesla, T:

1 T = 1 N/A·m.

Another unit sometimes used: the gauss (G):

1 G = 10-4 T.



Just for interest…



Example 27-1: Magnetic Force on a current-carrying wire.

A wire carrying a 30-A current has a length l = 12 cm between the pole faces of a magnet at an angle θ = 60°, as shown. The magnetic field is uniform at

0.90 T. What is the magnitude of the force on the wire?



Example 27-2: Measuring a magnetic field.

A rectangular loop of wire hangs vertically as shown. A magnetic field B is directed horizontally, perpendicular to the wire, and points out of the page at all points. The magnetic field is very nearly uniform along the horizontal portion of wire ab (length l = 10.0 cm) which is near the center of the gap of a large magnet producing the field. The top portion of the wire loop is free of the field. The loop hangs from a balance which measures a downward magnetic force (in addition to the gravitational force) of F = 3.48 x 10-2 N when the wire carries a current I = 0.245 A. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field B?


Example 27-3: Magnetic Force on a semicircular wire.

A rigid wire, carrying a current I, consists of a semicircle of radius R and two straight portions as shown. The wire lies in a plane perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B0. Note choice of x and y axis. The straight portions each have length l within the field. Determine the net force on the wire due to the magnetic field B0.
