Sources of Magnetic Fields
• Magnetic fields exert forces on moving charges.
• Something reciprocal happens: moving charges give rise
to magnetic fields (which can then exert a force on other
moving charges).
• We will look at the easiest case: the magnetic field
created by currents in wires.
• The magnetism of permanent magnets also comes from
moving charges (the electrons in the atoms).

Magnetic Interaction
• A current generates a magnetic field.
• A magnetic field exerts a force on a current.
• Two conductors, carrying currents, will exert
forces on each other.
Rather than discussing moving charges in general,
restrict attention to currents in wires. Then:

Biot-Savart Law
• The mathematical description of the magnetic field B due
to a current-carrying wire is called the Biot-Savart law.
It gives B at a selected position.
• A current I is moving all through the wire. We need to
add up the bits of magnetic field dB arising from each
infinitesimal length dl.
Add up all the bits!

It turns out that m0 and eo are related in a simple
way: (e0m0)-1/2 = 3x10 8 m/s = c, the speed of light.
Why? Light is a wave of electric and magnetic fields.
The constant m0 = 4p x 10-7 T m/A
is called the permeability of free space.

Example: Magnetic field from a long wire
Consider a long straight wire carrying a current I.
We want to find the magnetic field B at a point P,
a distance R from the wire.

Consider a long straight wire carrying a current I.
We want to find the magnetic field B at a point P,
a distance R from the wire.
Break the wire into bits dl.
To do that, choose coordinates:
let the wire be along the x axis,
and consider the little bit dx at a
position x.
The vector r = r r is from this bit
to the point P.

Gauss’s Law for Magnetism
For electric charges
Gauss’s Law is:
because there are single electric charges. On the other hand, we
have never detected a single magnetic charge, only dipoles. Since
there are no magnetic monopoles there is no place for magnetic
field lines to begin or end.
Thus, Gauss’s Law for
magnetic charges must be:

Laws of Electromagnetism
We have now 2.5 of Maxwell’s 4 fundamental
laws of electromagnetism. They are:
Gauss’s law for electric charges
Gauss’s law for magnetic charges
Ampere’s law (it is still incomplete as it only
applies to steady currents in its present form.
Therefore, the 0.5 of a law.)

Magnetic Materials
The phenomenon of magnetism is due mainly to the
orbital motion of electrons inside materials, as well
as to the intrinsic magnetic moment of electrons (spin).
There are three types of magnetic behavior in bulk
matter:
Ferromagnetism
Paramagnetism
Diamagnetism

Magnetic Materials
Because of the configuration of electron orbits in atoms,
and due to the intrinsic magnetic properties of electrons
and protons (called “spin”), materials can enhance or
diminish applied magnetic fields:

Magnetic Materials
kM is the relative permeability
(the magnetic equivalent of kE )
Usually kM is very close to 1.
- if kM > 1, material is “paramagnetic” - e.g. O2
- if kM < 1, material is “diamagnetic” - e.g. Cu
Because kM is close to 1, we define the
magnetic susceptibility cM= kM - 1

Magnetic Materials
Hence:
For paramagnetic materials cM is positive
- so Bint > Bapp
For diamagnetic materials cM is negative
- so Bint < Bapp
Typically, cM ~ +10-5 for paramagnetics,
cM ~ -10-6 for diamagnetics.
(For both kM is very close to 1)

Magnetic Materials
Ferromagnetic Materials:
These are the stuff permanent magnets are
made of.
These materials can have huge susceptibilities:
cM as big as +104
