Chapter 4
Formula Cheat Sheet
1. Magnetic Field & Oersted’s Experiment
Trick: “Current Twirls Needles Around”
Meaning: A current in a wire creates a
magnetic field that deflects a compass needle.

2. Biot-Savart Law

µ0 I d l sin θ
dB = 2
4π r
Trick: “µ 4π, I dl θ R-square”
Meaning: The magnetic field is proportional
to the current element and sin θ, and
inversely proportional to the square of the
distance.

3. Ampère’s Law
I
B · d l = µ0 I enc
Trick: “Loop around current gives µ0 I ”
Meaning: The magnetic field along a closed
loop is related to the enclosed current.

4. Lorentz Force on a Moving Charge

F = q (E + v × B)
Trick: “Q(E + V cross B)”
Meaning: A moving charge experiences a
force due to both electric and magnetic fields.

5. Force on a Current-Carrying Conductor

F = I (L × B)
Trick: “I Long cross B”
Meaning: The force is the cross product of
the length vector and the magnetic field.

6. Torque on a Current Loop in a Magnetic


Field

τ = N I AB sin θ
Trick: “N I A B θ”
Meaning: The torque depends on the
number of turns, current, loop area, and the
sine of the angle between the field and the
normal to the loop.

7. Magnetic Dipole Moment (Current Loop)

M= NI A
Trick: “N I A is magnetic magic”
Meaning: A current loop behaves like a
magnetic dipole with moment N I A.

8. Moving Coil Galvanometer (Sensitivity)


Current Sensitivity:
NB A
S=
k
Trick: “NBA divided by k”
Meaning: Sensitivity depends on the number
of turns, magnetic field, area, and the
torsional constant.
Voltage Sensitivity:
S
Sv =
R
Trick: “Divide by R for Voltage”
