• Force on a Straight Conductor:
Force F on a straight conductor of length land carrying a steady current I placed in a uniform external magnetic field B

• Lorentz Force:
Force on a charge q moving with velocity v in the presence of magnetic and electric fields Band E.


• Cyclotron:
A charge q executes a circular orbit in a plane normal with frequency called the cyclotron frequency given by,

This cyclotron frequency is independent of the particle’s speed and radius.
• Biot -Savart Law:
It asserts that the magnetic field dB due to an element dl carrying a steady current I at a point P at a distance r from the current element is,

• Magnetic Field due to Circular Coil:
Magnetic field due to circular coil of radius R carrying a current I at an axial distance X from the centre is

• Ampere’s Circuital Law:
For an open surface S bounded by a loop C, then the Ampere’s law states that

where I refers to the current passing through S.
• If B is directed along the tangent to every point on the perimeter them BL=μol, Where Ie is the net current enclosed by the closed circuit.
• Magnetic Field:
Magnetic field at a distance R from a long, straight wire carrying a current I is given by,

The field lines are circles concentric with the wire.
• Magnetic field B inside a long Solenoid carrying a current 1:
B =μonl
Where n is the number of turns per unit length.
• For a toriod,

Where N is the total numbers of turns and r is the average radius.
• Magnetic Moment of a Planar Loop:
Magnetic moment m of a planar loop carrying a current I, having N closely wound turns, and an area A, is


Curl and palm of your right hand along the loop with the fingers pointing in the direction of the current, the thumb sticking out gives the direction of

• Loop placed in a Uniform Magnetic Field:
a) When this loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field B, then, this force F on it is F = 0

In a moving coil galvanometer, this torque is balanced by a counter torque due to a spring, yielding. kø=NI AB where f) is the equilibrium deflection and k the torsion constant of the spring.
• Magnetic Moment in an Electron:
An electron moving around the central nucleus has a magnetic moment μ1 , given by

where l is the magnitude of the angular momentum of the circulating electron about the central nucleus.
• Bohr Magneton:
The smallest value of p1 is called the Bohr magneton B
μB = 9.27 X l0-24 J/T
