Moving Charges and Magnetism

When charge moves it also produces magnetic field. According to


Oersted, he concluded that moving charges or currents produced
a magnetic field in the surrounding space.

Formulae:
Lorentz Force: Combination of two forces –electrostatic force and magnetic force. Hence,
F = F Electric + F Magnetic = q[ E + (v  B )] = qE + qvB sin 

• Magnetic force on a straight current-carrying conductor: F = I (l  B )


• For an any shaped wire: F = I  dl j  B

Motion in Magnetic Field:


• When moving charge is kept in motion in magnetic field then it follows helical path.

Torque on current loop, magnetic dipole:


• Torque on a rectangular current loop in uniform magnetic field:
a. When plane of the loop is along with magnetic field:  = IAB, where
A= area of rectangle and B= magnetic field.
b. When plane of the loop is not along with magnetic field:  = IAB sin 
• Magnetic moment of current loop is: m = IA
• Therefore, torque would be:  = m  B
• In case of electrostatic then it has electric dipole of dipole moment pe in electric
field E:  = pe  E

The moving coil galvanometer:


• Torque produced when current flows through the coil:  = NIAB
• Counter torque produced by spring that balances the magnetic torque: k = NIAB
where k= torsional constant of the spring i.e., the restoring torque per unit turns and
NAB
 is deflection on the scale by a pointer attached to spring. Hence,  = I
k
• For measuring currents, the galvanometer has to be connected in series. In this case
we connect a low resistance called shunt in parallel with the galvanometer coil.

• For measuring voltage, the galvanometer also can be used as a voltmeter to measure
the voltage throughout a given phase of the circuit. For this the voltmeter should be
connected in parallel with that phase of the circuit.
