Ppatel350: /* Conceptual Question */

Claimed by Priya Patel (Spring 2017)

==The Main Idea==

A magnet will produce a magnetic field everywhere in space. This is very similar to electrostatics, but instead of charges, we have North and South poles. Like poles repel, and unlike poles attract. Since magnets [[#Magnetic Monopoles|always come in North/South pairs]] (link to history section about monopoles), the magnetic field produced is that of a magnetic dipole, which looks very similar to the electric dipole field. The North pole is analogous to a positive charge and South to a negative charge, in that the field lines flow out from the North pole into the South pole.

===A Mathematical Model===

The equation for a [http://www.physicsbook.gatech.edu/Magnetic_Dipole_Moment| magnetic dipole moment]
is:

<math> \boldsymbol{\mu} = \boldsymbol{IA} = \boldsymbol{I{\pi}R^2}</math> with units <math> A*m^2 </math>

where I is the current, and A is the cross sectional area. This will be used to calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field produced by a magnetic dipole.

The 2nd part of the equation is specifically for a circular loop field induced magnetic dipole and its area is the area of the loop.

From this equation, we can deduce the magnetic dipole moments just knowing the conventional current flowing through the loop and the radius.

[[File:current_loop.JPG]]

However, most of the time the current is not given. Furthermore, the equation is not applicable for the normal [http://www.physicsbook.gatech.edu/Bar_Magnet| bar magnets], for they do not have a electrical current flowing through. Thus, another way to get the dipole moment is by using the relationship between the magnetic dipole and the magnetic field induced by the dipole.

There are two equations based on the observation location.

==== Observation Location Perpendicular to Dipole Axis ====

If the observation location is perpendicular to the axis of the dipole(see below),

[[File:dipole_perp.JPG]]

then the equation for the magnetic field induced by the dipole is:

[[File:Magpar.JPG]]

Note that this equation is analogous to the equation for an observation location perpendicular to the axis of an electric dipole.

==== Observation Location Along Dipole Axis ====

If the observation location is placed along the axis like in the image below,

[[File:dipole_along.JPG]]

then the equation for the magnetic field induced by the dipole is:

[[File:magper.JPG]]

Note that this equation is analogous to the equation for an observation location perpendicular to the axis of an electric dipole.

=== Direction of Dipole Moment ===

It is also important to note the direction of the dipole moment. The direction of the dipole moment points North in a magnet:

[[File:Magdidirection.gif]]

On the other hand, if you are looking at the dipole moment induced by a current-flowing loop, you have to use the right hand rule.
Curl your fingers in the direction of the current, and your thumb will point in the direction of the magnetic dipole moment induced from the current.

==Examples==

===Simple===

In a circular loop with current of 3 Ampere and diameter of 16 cm, what is the magnetic dipole moment induced from the current?

'''Solution'''

We can just simply use the first equation given in the beginning:

[[File:Magneticdipole1.JPG]]

where R is 0.08 meters and I is 3 Amperes. Calculating for the magnetic dipole moment gives:

<math> 3 \times 0.08^2 \times \pi = 0.0192 A*M^2</math>

===Middling===

When a compass is placed 20 cm away from a bar magnet parallel to the x-axis and shows deflection of 20 degrees, what is the magnitude of the magnetic dipole moment? You can assume that |''Bearth''| is <math>2 \times 10^-5 T</math>

'''Solution'''

First, we need to figure out the magnetic dipole induced from the magnet. Thus, we need to use the formula:

[[File:Bearth.JPG]]

where |''Bearth''| is <math>2 \times 10^-5 T</math>, and the deflection is 20 degrees. Thus,

<math> (2E-5 T) * tan(20) = 7.3E-6 T</math>

This gives us the magnitude of the magnetic field contributed by the bar magnet. We can plug in the value into the formula given (note that because it is along the x-axis, we use this formula)

[[File:Magper.JPG]]

<math> 7.3E-6 = \frac {1E-7 * 2 * \mu} {(0.2)^3} </math>

<math> \mu = 0.292 A*M^2</math>

===Conceptual Question===

If released from rest, what, if anything, will the current loop do?

[[File:Current_loop_mag_field.JPG]]

'''Solution'''

The loop will rotate counterclockwise. We know this because the magnetic dipole moment has a tendency to want to align itself with any externally applied magnetic field, if one exists. Using the right-hand rule for a loop of current, we curl our fingers clockwise, causing our thumb to point straight downwards. This means that our magnetic dipole moment is poiting straight downwards. In order to align itself with the magnetic field that is pointing to the right, it must rotate counterclockwise.

==Connectedness==

'''Industrial Application'''

One of the most common industrial applications of Magnetic Dipole is the Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy. To learn more about NMR, click [http://www.chemguide.co.uk/analysis/nmr/background.html here]

==History==

===Magnetic Monopoles===

Although electrostatics and magnetics have a lot in common, one difference is that magnetic poles cannot exist singly like charges can. Poles always come in N/S pairs. If you were to cut a bar magnet in half, you will get two new magnets with North and South poles.

A magnetic monopole was observed once, by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blas_Cabrera| Blas Cabrera], on February 14, 1982 (also known as the Valentine's Day Monopole). However, this experiment has been [http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/breaking/2010/12/15/another-year-of-searching-for-magnetic-monopoles| recreated several times], and no one, not even Cabrera himself, has been able to find another monopole.

then the equation for the magnetic field induced by the dipole is:

==== Observation Location Along Dipole Axis ====

If the observation location is placed along the X axis like the image below

[[File:Magparallel.jpg]]

then the equation for the magnetic field induced by the dipole is:

[[File:magper.JPG]]

The first part of the equation is the constant, 1E-7, and the other part of the equation requires the magnetic dipole and the distance between the observation location and the dipole denoted by r.

The most common form of problem using the magnetic dipole is as follows:

First, you would be given a compass and its deflection due to a magnet. Using this, you are able to figure out the magnetic field induced from the dipole using the equation:

[[File:Bearth.JPG]]

where B earth is usually given to be 2E-5. Then, you will be able to calculate the magnetic field.

Using this magnetic field, you will be asked to calculate the magnetic dipole. The rest is simple; depending whether your compass was located perpendicularly or along the axis, you can choose which equation to use and plug in the values and solve for the magnetic dipole moment.

It is also important to note the direction of the dipole moment. The direction of the dipole moment points North in a magnet:

[[File:Magdidirection.gif]]

On the other hand, if you are looking at the dipole moment induced by a current-flowing loop, you have to use the right hand rule, make the hand curl in the direction of the current. The direction of your thumb will be the magnetic dipole moment induced from the current.

[[File:Magneticdipolemom.jpg]]

It is also important to note that the units for Magnetic Dipole moment is Ampere*M^2

==Examples==

Be sure to show all steps in your solution and include diagrams whenever possible

===Simple===

In a circular loop with current of 3 Ampere and diameter of 16 cm, what is the magnetic dipole moment induced from the current?

'''Solution'''

We can just simply use the first equation given in the beginning:

[[File:Magneticdipole1.JPG]]

where R is 0.08 meters and I is 3 Amperes. Calculating for the magnetic dipole moment gives:

<math> 3 \times 0.08^2 \times \pi = 0.0192 A*M^2</math>

===Middling===

When the compass was placed 20 cm away from a bar magnet parallel to the X axis and showed deflection of 20 degrees, what is the magnetic dipole of the magnet? You can assume that B earth is 2E-5

'''Solution'''

First, we need to figure out the magnetic dipole induced from the magnet. Thus, we need to use the formula:

[[File:Bearth.JPG]]

where B earth is 2E-5, and the degree is 20 degrees. Thus,

<math> 2E-5 \times tan(20) = 7.3E-6 </math>

With the given magnetic field, we can plug in the value into the formula given (note that because it is along the X axis, we use this formula)

[[File:Magper.JPG]]

<math> 7.3E-6 = \frac {1E-7 * 2 * \mu} {(0.2)^3} </math>

<math> \mu = 0.292 A*M^2</math>

===Difficult===
[[File:Test1mag.JPG]]

The question is a lot like the previous question, except there is a slight bit of twist in it (the direction). In this question, the solving method is exactly same as the previous except the first part involves direction of the deflection. To determine the direction of the deflection we must visualize the magnetic field induced from the dipole. Remember that the magnetic field points outward and for south it points inward, making a curl towards each other as shown:

[[File:Bar magnet1.gif]]

And thus, for the compass to turn east, which is towards the magnet, the pole closer to the compass must be South. The full solution is as shown:

First, you would be given a compass and its deflection due to a magnet. Using this, you are able to figure out the magnetic field induced from the dipole using the equation:

[[File:Bearth.JPG]]

where B earth is usually given to be 2E-5. Then, you will be able to calculate the magnetic field.

Using this magnetic field, you will be asked to calculate the magnetic dipole. The rest is simple; depending whether your compass was located perpendicularly or along the axis, you can choose which equation to use and plug in the values and solve for the magnetic dipole moment.

It is also important to note the direction of the dipole moment. The direction of the dipole moment points North in a magnet:

[[File:Magdidirection.gif]]

On the other hand, if you are looking at the dipole moment induced by a current-flowing loop, you have to use the right hand rule, make the hand curl in the direction of the current. The direction of your thumb will be the magnetic dipole moment induced from the current.

It is also important to note that the units for Magnetic Dipole moment is Ampere*M^2

==Examples==

===Simple===

In a circular loop with current of 3 Ampere and diameter of 16 cm, what is the magnetic dipole moment induced from the current?

'''Solution'''

We can just simply use the first equation given in the beginning:

[[File:Magneticdipole1.JPG]]

where R is 0.08 meters and I is 3 Amperes. Calculating for the magnetic dipole moment gives:

<math> 3 \times 0.08^2 \times \pi = 0.0192 A*M^2</math>

===Middling===

When the compass was placed 20 cm away from a bar magnet parallel to the X axis and showed deflection of 20 degrees, what is the magnetic dipole of the magnet? You can assume that B earth is 2E-5

'''Solution'''

First, we need to figure out the magnetic dipole induced from the magnet. Thus, we need to use the formula:

[[File:Bearth.JPG]]

where B earth is 2E-5, and the degree is 20 degrees. Thus,

<math> 2E-5 \times tan(20) = 7.3E-6 </math>

With the given magnetic field, we can plug in the value into the formula given (note that because it is along the X axis, we use this formula)

[[File:Magper.JPG]]

<math> 7.3E-6 = \frac {1E-7 * 2 * \mu} {(0.2)^3} </math>

<math> \mu = 0.292 A*M^2</math>

===Difficult===
[[File:Test1mag.JPG]]

The question is a lot like the previous question, except there is a slight bit of twist in it (the direction). In this question, the solving method is exactly same as the previous except the first part involves direction of the deflection. To determine the direction of the deflection we must visualize the magnetic field induced from the dipole. Remember that the magnetic field points outward and for south it points inward, making a curl towards each other as shown:

[[File:Bar magnet1.gif]]

And thus, for the compass to turn east, which is towards the magnet, the pole closer to the compass must be South. The full solution is as shown:

'''Claimed by Priya Patel (Spring 2017)'''

==The Main Idea==

A magnet will produce a magnetic field everywhere in space. This is very similar to electrostatics, but instead of charges, we have North and South poles. Like poles repel, and unlike poles attract. Since magnets always come in North/South pairs (link to history section about monopoles), the magnetic field produced is that of a magnetic dipole, which looks very similar to the electric dipole field. The North pole is analogous to a positive charge and South to a negative charge, in that the field lines flow out from the North pole into the South pole.

[[File:Magnetificdipole1.jpg]]

===A Mathematical Model===

The equation for a [http://www.physicsbook.gatech.edu/Magnetic_Dipole_Moment| magnetic dipole moment]
is:

<math> \boldsymbol{\mu} = \boldsymbol{IA} = \boldsymbol{I{\pi}R^2}</math>

where I is the current, and A is the cross sectional area. This will be used to calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field produced by a magnetic dipole.

The 2nd part of the equation is specifically for a circular loop field induced magnetic dipole and its area is the area of the loop.

From this equation, we can deduce the magnetic dipole moments just knowing the conventional current flowing through the loop and the radius.

[[File:current_loop.JPG]]

However, most of the time the current is not given. Furthermore, the equation is not applicable for the normal [http://www.physicsbook.gatech.edu/Bar_Magnet| bar magnets], for they do not have a electrical current flowing through. Thus, another way to get the dipole moment is by using the relationship between the magnetic dipole and the magnetic field induced by the dipole.

There are two equations based on the observation location.

==== Observation Location Perpendicular to Dipole Axis ====

If the observation location is perpendicularly placed, meaning that the object is along the y axis of the dipole like the image below,

[[File:Magperpendicular.jpg]]

then the equation for the magnetic field induced by the dipole is:

[[File:Magpar.JPG]]

==== Observation Location Along Dipole Axis ====

If the observation location is placed along the X axis like the image below

[[File:Magparallel.jpg]]

then the equation for the magnetic field induced by the dipole is:

[[File:magper.JPG]]

The first part of the equation is the constant, 1E-7, and the other part of the equation requires the magnetic dipole and the distance between the observation location and the dipole denoted by r.

When the compass was placed 20 cm away from a bar magnet parallel to the X axis and showed deflection of 20 degrees, what is the magnetic dipole of the magnet? You can assume that B earth is 2E-5

'''Solution'''

First, we need to figure out the magnetic dipole induced from the magnet. Thus, we need to use the formula:

[[File:Bearth.JPG]]

where B earth is 2E-5, and the degree is 20 degrees. Thus,

<math> 2E-5 \times tan(20) = 7.3E-6 </math>

With the given magnetic field, we can plug in the value into the formula given (note that because it is along the X axis, we use this formula)

<math> 7.3E-6 = \frac {1E-7 * 2 * \mu} {(0.2)^3} </math>

<math> \mu = 0.292 A*M^2</math>

The question is a lot like the previous question, except there is a slight bit of twist in it (the direction). In this question, the solving method is exactly same as the previous except the first part involves direction of the deflection. To determine the direction of the deflection we must visualize the magnetic field induced from the dipole. Remember that the magnetic field points outward and for south it points inward, making a curl towards each other as shown:
