Example

• Particle 1, with a charge q1 3.60 µC and a
  speed of v1 382 m/s, travels at right angles to
  a uniform magnetic field. The magnetic force it
  experiences is 4.25 x 10-3 N. Particle 2, with a
  charge of q2 5.30 µC and a speed of v2 1.30 x
  103 m/s, moves at an angle of 55.0º relative to
  the same magnetic field. Find (a) the strength of
  the magnetic field and (b) the magnitude of the
  magnetic force exerted on particle 2.

Direction of the magnetic force? Right Hand Rule

• To determine the DIRECTION of the force on a
  POSITIVE charge we use a special technique that
  helps us understand the 3D/perpendicular nature
  of magnetic fields.

• The Fingers
• The Thumb
• The Palm

Example

• Determine the direction of the unknown variable
  for a proton moving in the field using the
  coordinate axis given

Charges moving in a wire

• Up to this point we have focused our attention on
  PARTICLES or CHARGES only. The charges could be
  moving together in a wire. Thus, if the wire had
  a CURRENT (moving charges), it too will
  experience a force when placed in a magnetic
  field.

You simply used the RIGHT HAND ONLY and the thumb
will represent the direction of the CURRENT
instead of the velocity.

Calculating Force on a CCW

Example
A 36-m length wire carries a current of 22A
running from right to left. Calculate the
magnitude and direction of the magnetic force
acting on the wire if it is placed in a magnetic
field with a magnitude of 0.50 x10-4 T and
directed up the page.

WHY does the wire move?

• The real question is WHY does the wire move? It
  is easy to say the EXTERNAL field moved it. But
  how can an external magnetic field FORCE the wire
  to move in a certain direction?
