Term
magnetic forces act
Definition
only on moving charges
Term
magnetic field
Definition
A moving charge or a current creates a magnetic field in the surrounding
space (in addition to its electric field)
Term
The magnetic field exerts
Definition
a force F on any other moving charge or current
that is present in the field.
Term
magnetic field is a
Definition
vector field-that is, a vector quantity
associated with each point in spaceu
Term
magnetic field B points
Definition
out of its north
pole and into its south poled
Term
magnitude of magnetic force is proportional
Definition
to the magnitude of the charge
Term
magnitude, or "strength," of the field;is proportional
Definition
to the magnitude of the force
Term
magnetic force depends
Definition
on the particle's velocity.
Term
A charged particle at rest experiences how much magnetic force?
Definition
no magnetic
force
Term
magnetic force F does not have
the same direction as the magnetic field B but instead is
Definition
always perpendicular to
both B and the velocity
Term
so magnetic force F =
Definition
qvBsin(0)
Term
B =
Definition
magnetic field
Term
units of B
Definition
1 tesla (T) or N/A*m
Term
The total force F is the vector sum of the electric and magnetic forces
Definition
q(E x V x B)
Term
magnetic field lines point
Definition
in the same direction a
compass would north to south
Term
dot ( . ) to represent a magnetic field line vector directed
Definition
out of the plane
Term
cross (X) to represent a magnetic field line vector directed
Definition
into the plane
Term
The total magnetic flux through the surface is the sum of the contributions from
the individual area elements:�
Definition
integral(Bcos * dA)
Term
Magnetic flux is a
Definition
scalar quantity
Term
SI unit of magnetic flux is
Definition
T·m^2 or N·m/A
Term
The total magnetic flux through a closed surface is
Definition
always zero
Term
Magnetic field lines have no ends
Definition
they form closed loops through the interior of the magnet
Term
magnetic fiux density
Definition
magnitude of magnetic field is equal to flux per unit area across an
area at right angles to the magnetic field
Term
magnetic force is perpendicular to
Definition
the velocity
Term
magnetic force can
Definition
can never do work on the particle
Term
magnetic force F on a current carrying conductor
Definition
I*l*B or Idl x B
Term
magnetic dipole moment mu =
Definition
IA
Term
magnetic torgue =
Definition
mu x B
