ACCORDING TO THE CBSE SYLLABUS 2025-26.
When current is passed through the conductor it will produce a
magnetic effect around it, so basically the wire acts like a magnet, and it
will interact with the permanent magnet you have placed next to it, this effect
can be reversed by changing the direction of the current, which according to
the rule changes the direction of the magnetic field produced by it.
OERSTED EXPERIMENT
a. Oersted discovered that a magnetic field around a conductor
carrying electric charge at rest produces an electric field around it.
b. A current-carrying conductor has a magnetic field and not an electric field around it. On the other
hand, a charge moving with a uniform velocity has both an electric and a
magnetic field around it.
c. An electric field cannot be produced without a charge, whereas
a magnetic field can be produced without a magnet.
d. No poles are produced in a coil carrying current, but such a
coil shows north and south polarities.
e. All oscillating or accelerated charge produces E.M. waves, in addition to electric fields.
MAGNETIC INDUCTION IS A VECTOR QUANTITY
Not uncommonly, it is given by the number of lines of induction threading a unit area normal to the surface. Magnetic field S.I. UNIT is tesla or weber/metre2.
MAGNETIC FIELD DUE TO A MOVING POINT CHARGE
μo ≡ 4π × 10-7 N·s2/C2 is called the permeability of free space.
BIOT SAVART LAW
With the help of experiment result, Biot and
Savart arrived at a mathematical expression that magnetic field at some point
in terms of the current that produces the field. That expression is based on
the following experimental observation for the magnetic field at a point a.
Thus,
One tesla is 10 -7 times the magnetic field produced by a conducting
wire of length one metre and carrying current of one ampere at a distance of
one metre from it and perpendicular to it.
MAGNETIC FIELD DUE TO A STRAIGHT WIRE
BIOT-SAVART LAW AND COULOMB’S
LAW COMPARISON
POINT OF SIMILARITY
1. Both fields depend inversely on the square of
the distance from the source to the point of observation.
2. Bothare long range field.
3 The principle of superposition is applicable to
both fields. This is because the magnetic field is linearly related to its
source, namely, the current element and the electrostatic field is related
linearly to its source, that is electric charge.
POINT OF SIMILARITY
1. The magnetic field is produced by a vector
source ( the current element). The electrostatic field is produced by a scalar
source (the electric charge).
2. the direction of the electrostatic field is
along displacement vector joining the source and the field point. The direction
of the magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane containing the current
element.
3. In Biot-Savart law, the magnitude of the magnetic field is proportional to the
sine of the angle between the current element and displacement vector. But
there is no such angle dependence in the coulomb’s law for the electrostatic
field.
MAGNETIC FIEL DUE TO A LONG STRAIGHT CURRENT CARRYING CONDUCTOR
Consider a straight conductor XY carrying current I. We wish to
find its magnetic field at the point p whose perpendicular distance from the
wire is a (PQ = a).
Consider a small current element Dl of the conductor at o. Its
distance from Q is l. Let r be the position vector of point p relative to the
current element and θ be the angle between dl and r. according to Biot Savart
law the magnitude of the field due to the current element will be
