Q & A
What happens when the north pole of one bar magnet is placed near the north pole of another?
-When the north pole of one bar magnet is placed near the north pole of another, the two magnets repel each other due to like magnetic poles repelling.
How is a magnetic field created around a wire?
-A magnetic field around a wire is created when electric current flows through the wire. This magnetic field is circular and its direction depends on the direction of the current, which can be determined using the right-hand rule.
What is the right-hand rule used for in electromagnetism?
-The right-hand rule is used to determine the direction of the magnetic field around a current-carrying wire. By curling the fingers around the wire with the thumb pointing in the direction of the current, the direction your fingers point represents the magnetic field lines.
How does the distance from a wire affect the strength of the magnetic field?
-The strength of the magnetic field decreases as the distance from the wire increases. This is because the magnetic field strength is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire, as described by the formula B = (μ₀I)/(2πr).
What role does the permeability of free space (mu-zero) play in calculating magnetic fields?
-The permeability of free space (μ₀) is a constant used in calculating the magnetic field produced by an electric current. It appears in formulas that describe the magnetic field in terms of current intensity and distance, indicating how the vacuum of space responds to magnetic fields.
Explain how the magnetic force on a wire in a magnetic field is calculated.
-The magnetic force on a wire in a magnetic field can be calculated using the formula F = I × L × B × sin(θ), where I is the current, L is the length of the wire within the magnetic field, B is the magnetic field strength, and θ is the angle between the wire and the magnetic field direction.
Describe what happens when two parallel wires carry currents in the same direction.
-When two parallel wires carry currents in the same direction, they attract each other. This attraction is due to the magnetic fields created by each wire, which interact in a way that pulls the wires together.
How does the angle between the current direction and magnetic field affect the magnetic force experienced by a wire?
-The angle between the current direction and the magnetic field affects the magnetic force in that the force is maximal when the angle is 90 degrees (perpendicular). The force decreases as the angle approaches zero degrees, where it becomes zero when the current is parallel or anti-parallel to the magnetic field.
What is the significance of the 'number of turns per meter' in a solenoid?
-The 'number of turns per meter' in a solenoid is significant because it indicates the density of wire loops along the length of the solenoid. A higher number of turns per meter increases the magnetic field strength inside the solenoid, enhancing its magnetic properties.
How is the torque on a current-carrying loop in a magnetic field calculated?
-The torque on a current-carrying loop in a magnetic field is calculated using the formula τ = n × I × A × B × sin(θ), where n is the number of loops, I is the current, A is the area of the loop, B is the magnetic field strength, and θ is the angle between the loop’s plane and the magnetic field direction.

The enclosed current is considered, which increases with the number of loops in the solenoid. The final formula derived is B = μ0 * n * I, where n is the number of turns per unit length.
🧭 Magnetic Field and Torque on a Loop
The paragraph explores the magnetic field's effect on a current-carrying loop, which results in the loop experiencing a torque. It explains how the forces on opposite sides of the loop are equal and opposite, leading to a net torque that causes the loop to rotate. The torque is maximized when the magnetic field is perpendicular to the normal line of the loop, and it is zero when the magnetic field is parallel to the normal line.
