Force of a changing magnetic field

In summary: E by integrating both sides over time. This would give us an expression for E in terms of the magnetic field and its derivatives. In summary, Faraday's Law states that a changing magnetic field can induce a potential around a loop of wire, causing any charges within the loop to experience a force. This force can be in any direction, including the direction of the loop, if the magnetic field is at the right angle. To isolate E from Faraday's Law, we can integrate both sides of the equation over time and solve for E in terms of the magnetic field and its derivatives.

By Faraday's Law, we know that a changing magnetic field can induce a potential around a loop of wire and it follows that any charges in the loop will experience a force, otherwise they wouldn't move. Therefore a changing magnetic field exerts a force on stationary charges.

How do you tell the direction of this force is the charge is not in a loop of wire?

You also use Faraday law, ∇x E = -∂B/∂t, and solve this for E, but remember that the magnetic field is gone yet, so you have lorentz force, F = q(E + |v x B|), however if the charge is stationnary, then just be force it start moving F = qE, F⊥B just because E⊥B (because of the curl), by this you can see that the force can be in any direction even in the direction of the loop if you put the magnetic field in the right angle,once it started moving perpenducular forces are further applied, this you can expect it to be in the direction for the loop (curvature)of the wire

It's a partial differential equation,
 

FAQ: Force of a changing magnetic field

What is force of a changing magnetic field?

Force of a changing magnetic field, also known as electromagnetic force, is a fundamental force in nature that is responsible for the interaction between electrically charged particles. It is produced when there is a change in the magnetic field, either through motion or by changing the strength of the field.

How is force of a changing magnetic field calculated?

The force of a changing magnetic field can be calculated using the equation F = qvBsinθ, where F is the force in Newtons, q is the charge of the particle in Coulombs, v is the velocity of the particle in meters per second, B is the strength of the magnetic field in Tesla, and θ is the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field.

What is the relationship between force of a changing magnetic field and electric current?

Force of a changing magnetic field and electric current are closely related. When an electric current flows through a wire, it creates a magnetic field around the wire. Similarly, when a magnetic field changes around a wire, it induces an electric current in the wire. This phenomenon is known as electromagnetic induction.

How does force of a changing magnetic field affect charged particles?

The force of a changing magnetic field affects charged particles by exerting a force on them, causing them to move in a curved path. This is known as the Lorentz force and is responsible for the behavior of particles in particle accelerators and other electromagnetic devices.

What are some real-world applications of force of a changing magnetic field?

Force of a changing magnetic field has many real-world applications, including generators, motors, transformers, and magnetic levitation systems. It is also used in medical imaging devices, such as MRI machines, and in various industrial and scientific processes, such as particle accelerators and mass spectrometers.
