Besides the iron materials, other elements also show a similar "strong and permanent magnetic force effect", which is also called ferromagnetism after iron: Cobalt and nickel, as well as many of their alloys, also exhibit such an effect. Chapter [[#3.5 Matter in the magnetic field]] describes the subdivision of magnetic materials in detail. Here now the "magnetic force effect" is to be looked at more near. For this purpose, a few thought experiments are carried out with a magnetic iron stone <imgref imageNo01>. - From the iron ore should now first be separated a handy elongated part. If one is lucky, the given iron ore is already magnetic by itself. This case will be considered in the following. The elongated piece is now to be cut into two small pieces. - As soon as the two pieces are removed from each other, one notices that the two pieces attract each other again directly at the cut surface. - If one of the two parts is turned (the upper part in the picture below), a repulsive force acts on the two parts. So, it seems that there is a directed force around each of the two parts. If you dig a little deeper you will find that this force is focused on one part of the outer surface. Of course, you already know magnets and also know that there are poles. The considered thought experiment shall clarify, how one could have proceeded at an unknown appearance. In further thought experiments, such magnet iron stones can also be cut into other directions and the forces analyzed. ~~PAGEBREAK~~~~CLEARFIX~~ The result here is: - There are two poles. These are called the north pole and the south pole. The north pole is colored red, and the south pole is green. - Poles with the same name repel each other. Unequal poles attract each other. This is similar to the electric field (opposite charges attract). - So magnets experience a force in the vicinity of other magnets. - A compass is a small rotating "sample" magnet and is also called a magnetic needle. This sample magnet can thus represent the effect of a magnet. This is also similar to the sample charge of the electric field. - The naming of the magnetic poles was done by the part of the compass which points to the geographic north pole. The reason for this is that the magnetic south pole is found at the geographic north pole. - Magnetic poles are not isolatable. Even the smallest fraction of a magnet shows either no magnetism or both north and south poles. <WRAP> <imgcaption BildNr02 | Magnetic field becomes visible through iron filings></imgcaption> {{drawio>electrotechnology_2:Iron filings.svg}} </WRAP> Interestingly, even non-magnetized, ferromagnetic materials experience a force effect in the magnetic field. A nail - which is not a magnet itself - is attracted by a permanent magnet. This even happens independently of the magnetic pole. This also explains the visualization about iron filings (= small ferromagnetic parts), see <imgref BildNr02>. Also here there is a force effect and a torque, which aligns the iron filings. The visible field seems to form field lines here. <callout icon="fa fa-exclamation" color="red" title="Notice:"> * Field line images can be visualized by iron filings. Conceptually, these can be understood as a string of sample magnets. * The **direction of the magnetic field** defined via the sample magnet: The north pole of the sample magnet points in the direction of the magnetic field. * The **amount of magnetic field** is given by the torque experienced by a sample magnet oriented perpendicular to the field. * Field lines seem to repel each other ("perpendicular push"). e.g. visible when the field exits the permanent magnet. * Field lines attempt to travel as short a path as possible ("longitudinal pull"). </callout> ~~PAGEBREAK~~~~CLEARFIX~~ <WRAP> {{youtube>VkSQX5VpYpQ}} </WRAP> ~~PAGEBREAK~~ ~~CLEARFIX~~ ==== Effects around Current-carrying Wires ==== <WRAP> <imgcaption BildNr03 | Magnetic field around a current-carrying conductor></imgcaption> {{drawio>electrotechnology_2:magnetic_field_around_conductor.svg}} </WRAP> In 1820, Christian Ørsted discovered by chance during a lecture that current-carrying conductors also affect a compass. This experiment is illustrated in <imgref BildNr03>. A long, straight conductor with a circular cross-section has current $I$ flowing through it. Due to symmetry considerations, the field line pattern must be radially symmetric concerning the conductor axis. In an experiment with a magnetic needle, it can be shown that the field lines form concentric circles. Ørsted found out, that the torque on the compass is * proportional to the current $I$ * inversely proportional to the distance $r$ to the cable (= the radius) The direction of the field here is coaxial circular around the wire. \\ For a detailed definition it is bes to use a cylintrical coordinate system. Then the magnetic field $\vec{H}$ is given as \begin{align*} \vec{H} = \left( \begin{matrix} H_r \\ H_\varphi \\ H_\theta \end{matrix} \right) = \left( \begin{matrix} 0 \\ H_\varphi \\ 0 \end{matrix} \right) \\ \end{align*} The radial and axial part is zero - the field is curling around the wire. For the azimutal magnetic field strength around a single conductor is defined as: \begin{align*} \boxed{H_\varphi ={I\over{l}} = {{I}\over{2 \cdot \pi \cdot r}}} \quad \quad | \quad \text{applies only to the long, straight conductor} \end{align*} $l$ is here the length of a coaxial magnetic fieldline. \\ For the unit of the magnetic field strength $H$ we get $[H] = {{[I]}\over{[l]}}= \rm 1~{{A}\over{m}}$ <callout icon="fa fa-exclamation" color="red" title="Notice:"> <WRAP right> <imgcaption BildNr76 | Right hand rule> </imgcaption> \\ {{drawio>Righthandrule2.svg}} </WRAP> * If the technical direction of the current is considered, the magnetic field lines surround the current in the sense of a right-hand screw. ("right screw rule") * This rule can also be remembered in another way: If the thumb of the **__r__**ight hand points in the (technical) cu**__rr__**ent direction, the fingers of the hand surround the conductor like the magnetic field lines. Likewise, if the thumb of the **__l__**eft hand points in the E**__l__**ectron flow direction, the fingers of the hand surround the conductor like the magnetic field lines. </callout> ~~PAGEBREAK~~~~CLEARFIX~~ ==== Comparison of Electrostatics and Magnetostatics ==== ^ Property ^ Electrostatic ^ Magnetostatic ^ | Field line images | <imgcaption imageNo21 | Electrostatic field lines></imgcaption>{{drawio>electrotechnology_2:Electrostaticfieldlines.svg}} | <imgcaption imageNo22 | Magnetostatic field lines></imgcaption>{{drawio>electrotechnology_2:Magnetostaticfieldlines.svg}} | | sample for the field | positive sample charge | compass | | field lines | - start on a positive charge \\ - end on a negative charge | - have no start and no end\\ - are closed | | field line ends | there are sources and sinks | there are __no__ sources and sinks | | field type | vortex-free **__source field__** | source-free **__vortex field__** | ~~PAGEBREAK~~~~CLEARFIX~~ ==== Superposition of the magnetostatic Field ==== In the electric field, the field line density was a measure of the strength of the field. This is also used for the magnetic field. Looking at the simulations in Falstad (e.g. <imgref BildNr105>) with this understanding, one notices an inconsistency: contrary to the relationship just given, the field line density in the Falstad simulation __**not**__ indicates the strength of the field. A realistic simulation is shown in <imgref BildNr106> for comparison, which makes the difference clear: the field is stronger near the conductor. Thus the field line density must also be stronger there. <WRAP> <imgcaption BildNr106 | correct Picture of Magnetic Field Lines around a Conductor> </imgcaption> \\ {{url>https://www.geogebra.org/material/iframe/id/fy0yrGYK/width/500/height/500/border/888888/rc/false/ai/false/sdz/false/smb/false/stb/false/stbh/true/ld/false/sri/true/at/preferhtml5 700,350 noborder}} </WRAP> ~~PAGEBREAK~~ ~~CLEARFIX~~ <callout icon="fa fa-exclamation" color="red" title="Attention:"> * The density of the field lines is a measure of the field strength. * The simulation in Falstad cannot represent this in this way. \\ Here the field strength is coded by the color intensity (dark green = low field strength, light green to white = high field strength). </callout> Before the magnetic field strength will be considered in more detail, the simulation and superposition of the magnetic field will be discussed in more detail here. Magnetostatic fields can be superposed, just like electrostatic fields. This allows the fields of several current-carrying lines to be combined into a single one. This trick is used in the following chapter to examine the magnetic field in more detail. Below, the magnetic field of a single current-carrying conductor is shown. This was already derived in the previous chapter by symmetry considerations. The representation in the simulation can be simplified a bit here to see the conditions more clearly: Currently, the field lines are displayed in 3D, which is done by selecting ''Display: Field Lines'' and ''No Slicing''. If you change the selection to ''Show Z Slice'' instead of ''No Slicing'', you can switch to a 2D display. In this display, small compass needles can also show the magnetic field. To do this, select ''Display: Field Vectors'' instead of ''Display: Field Lines''. In addition, a "magnetic sample", i.e. a moving compass, can be found at the mouse pointer in the 2D display. ~~PAGEBREAK~~~~CLEARFIX~~ <WRAP> {{url>https://www.falstad.com/vector3dm/vector3dm.html?f=InverseRotational&d=streamlines&sl=none&st=19&ld=12&rx=75&ry=0&rz=0&zm=1.8 700,350 noborder}} </WRAP> If there is another current-carrying conductor near the first conductor, the fields overlap. In the simulation below, the current of both conductors is directed in the same direction. The field between the conductors overlaps just enough to weaken. This can also be deduced by previous knowledge if just the middle point between both conductors is considered: There, for the left conductor the right-hand rule results in a vector directed towards the observer. For the right conductor, it results in a vector that is directed away from the observer. These just cancel each other out. Further outward field lines go around both conductors. The North and south poles here are not fixed localized toward the outside. ~~PAGEBREAK~~~~CLEARFIX~~ <WRAP> {{url>https://www.falstad.com/vector3dm/vector3dm.html?f=InverseRotationalDouble&d=streamlines&sl=z&st=20&ld=8&a1=51&rx=33&ry=0&rz=0&zm=1.2 700,450 noborder}} </WRAP> If, on the other hand, the current in the second conductor is directed in the opposite direction to the current in the first conductor, the picture changes: Here there is a reinforcing superposition between the two conductors. Using the nomenclature from the previous chapter, it is also possible to assign north and south poles locally. Towards the outside, one pole appears to be located in front of the two conductors and another one behind. in both simulations, the distances between the conductors can also be changed using the ''Line Separation'' slider. What do you notice in each case when the two lines are brought close together? ~~PAGEBREAK~~~~CLEARFIX~~ <WRAP> {{url>https://www.falstad.com/vector3dm/vector3dm.html?f=InverseRotationalDipole&d=streamlines&sl=z&st=20&ld=8&a1=51&rx=33&ry=0&rz=0&zm=1.2 700,450 noborder}} <WRAP> ~~PAGEBREAK~~ ~~CLEARFIX~~ === Complex Geometry: toroidal Coil === <WRAP> <imgcaption BildNr04 | Magnetic field in a toroidal coil></imgcaption> \\ {{url>https://www.falstad.com/vector3dm/vector3dm.html?f=ToroidalSolenoidField&d=streamlines&sl=none&st=1&ld=8&a1=77&a2=26&a3=100&rx=0&ry=0&rz=0&zm=1.8 700,450 noborder}} <WRAP> A toroidal coil has a donut-like setup.
