44 INTRODUCTION; OERSTED EXPERIMENT
‘The magnetic effect of current was discovered by
Danish Physicist Hans Christians Oersted. He
noticed that a current in a straight wire makes @
“deflection ina magnetic needle. The deflection in-
creases on increasing current . He also found that
reversing the direction of current reverses direction
of needle. Oersted concluded that current produces
‘a magnetic field around it.
4,2 MAGNETIC FORCE
4,24 Sources and fields: The static charge is the source
of electric field. The source of magnetic field is
current or moving charge.Both the electric and mag-
netic fields are vector fields and both obeys super-
position principle.

The features of Lorentz Force
) The Lorentz force on positive charge is opposite
to that on negative charge because it depends
on charge’
il) The direction of Lorentz force is perpendicular to
velocity and magnetic field, Its direction is given
by screw rule or right hand rule.
iil) Only moving charge experiences magnetic force.
Forstatic charge (v=0), magnetic force is zero.
Note :
i) Acharge particle moving parallel or antiparallel
to magnetic field will not experience magnetic
force and moves undeviated
il) The work done by magnetic force is zero.
Because magnetic force is always perpendicular
to direction of velocity.
iil) A charged particle entering perpendicular mag-
netic field (=807) will make a circular path.

When charged particle moves perpendicular to
netic field, it experiences a magnetic force of magq
tude, qVB and the direction of the force is perpey
dicularto both and \y. This perpendicular may
netic field act as centripetal force and charged
ticle follows a circular path.

‘The charged particles enters at an angle ‘0’ with
magnetic field.
Since the charged particle enters at an angle ‘6’ with
magnetic field, its velocity will have two components;
‘a component parallel to magnetic field, V, (Vcos®)
‘and a component perpendicular to the magnetic field,
V, (vsin8).
‘The parallel component of velocity remains unaffected
by magnetic field and it causes charged particle to
move along the field.
The perpendicular component makes the particle to
move in circular path.
‘The effect of linear and circular movement produce
helical motion.
Pitch and Helix : The distance moved along mag-
netic field in one rotation is called pitch ‘P’.
P =VeosoT = 2™™ xvcoso

The radius of circular path of motion Is called helix.

of different speed.
Explanation : Consider two mutually perpendicular
olectricand magnetic fields in a region. Acharged
particle moving in this region, will exparience elac-
tric and magnetic force, If net force on charge is
zero, then it vill move undeflected .The mathematl-

The charges with this velocity pass undeflected

Radial magnetic field
Amoving coil galvanometer consists of rectangular,
coil of wire having area ‘A’ and number of turns ‘n’
which is wound on metallic frame and is placed be-
tween two magnets. The magnets are concave in
‘shape, which produces radial field.
Working : Let ‘Ibe the current flowing the coil, Then
the torque acting on the coil
1 = NIAB Where Alsthe area of coll
and B is the magnetic field.
This torque produces a rotation on coll, thus fiber is
twisted and angio (4). Duo to this twisting a restoring
torquo (+ = Ke) Is produced in spring,

Agalvanometer can be converted into an ammeter
by a low resistance (shunt) connected parallel to it.
Theory : Let G be the resistance of the galvanom-
eter, giving full deflection for a current Ig
To convert it into an ammeter, a suitable shunt resis-
tance 'S' is connected in parallel. In this arrange-
ment Ig current flows through Galvanometer and re-
‘maining (L-g) current flows through shunt resistance.

Connecting this shunt resistance across galvanom-
eter we can convert a galvanometer into ammeter.

From figure we can wete
Vo = laR+1eG
V-laG = lo
Using this resistance we can covert galvanometer in
to voltmeter.
Current sensitivity : The current sensitivity of gal-
vanometer is the deflection produced by unit cur-
rent
The current sensitivity can be increased by increas-
ing number of tums.
The voltage sensitivity : The voltage sensitivity of
galvanometer is the deflection produced by unit volt-
‘The increase in number of turns will not change volt-
age sensitivity.
When number of turns double (N —> 2N), the resis-
tance of the wire will be double (ie. R > 2R). Hence
the voltage sensitivity does not change.
