PHYS 2C Chapter Notes - Chapter 27: Magnetic Monopole, Electric Field, Chapter 27
Document Summary
Permanent magnets: found to exert forces on each other as well as on pieces of iron that were not magnetized. A distribution of electric charge at rest creates an electric field in the surrounding space. The electric field exerts a force on any other charge that is present in the field. A moving charge or a current creates a magnetic field in the surrounding space (in addition to its electric field). The magnetic field exerts a force on any other moving charge or current that is present in the field. The total magnetic flux through a closed surface is always zero. 27. 4 motion of charged particles in a magnetic field. Motion of a charged particle under the action of a magnetic field alone is always motion with constant speed. 27. 7 force and torque on a current loop. The net force on a current loop in a uniform magnetic field is zero.
