11TH GRADE · MAGNETISM
Magnetic field and forces
Induction, Ampere force, Lorentz force and charge motion.
LESSON MATERIAL
Basic Concepts
Magnetic field
A field created by moving charges and acting on moving charges and currents.
The magnetic part of the force is perpendicular to the speed of the charge, therefore it changes the direction of movement, but does not do work.
Ampere power
The force of a magnetic field on a conductor carrying an electric current.
The force is maximum when the conductor is perpendicular to the field and is zero when the current is directed along the magnetic induction.
Lorentz force
The force of electric and magnetic fields on a moving charge.
The electrical part of the force can change the speed modulo, while the magnetic part is directed across the movement and bends the trajectory.

Lesson formulas
Determination of magnetic induction
Magnetic induction can be determined by the force on the conductor or the maximum moment on the frame.
Definition of Tesla
One tesla creates a force of one newton on a one meter long conductor with a current of one ampere.
Ampere power
The Ampere's strength depends on the current, the length of the conductor, the induction and the angle.
Magnetic Lorentz force
The magnetic force on a charge depends on the charge, speed, induction and angle.
Charge movement in a circle
Magnetic force plays the role of centripetal force.
Condition: The speed is perpendicular to the magnetic induction.
Charge trajectory radius
The radius increases with mass and speed, decreases with charge and induction.
Charge reversal period
The period of revolution in a uniform field does not depend on the speed.
