Iron is one of the best magnets.Magnetic FieldThe presence of a magnet alters properties of space near it.The altered space is called a force field.We cannot see a force field, but can detect its presence by its effects.The form of the magnetic field can be traced by a pattern of iron filings.They line up in the direction in which a piece of iron would move if put there (field lines).They gather most thickly where the force on the iron would be the greatest (larger field line density).Origin of the Magnetic FieldEvery electric current has a magnetic field around it.This was first shown by Oersted in 1820.The current and the field are perpendicular to each other.The direction of the magnetic field can be found by encircling the wire with the fingers of the right hand.The direction of the current along the wire is then shown by the thumb.All magnetic fields originate from moving electric charges.The Electromagnetic FieldAn electric charge at rest is surrounded by only an electric field.When it is moving, a magnetic field around it appears.The relative motion between the charge and observer is needed to produce a magnetic field.Both an electric and magnetic field are aspects of a single electromagnetic field that surrounds every electric charge.Magnetic FieldA charged object, moving through a magnetic field, experiences a magnetic force.The force has a maximum strength when the charge moves perpendicularly to the magnetic filed lines. The magnetic force is experimentally defined as:F = q v B sin q is the magnitude of a test chargev is the charge velocityB is the strength of the external magnetic filed is the angle between the directions of v and BUnits of Magnetic FieldThe SI unit of magnetic fields is tesla (T)F = q v B sin   FB =   q v sin  N N T =   =  C m / s A mIf v || B  F = 0If v  B  F = q v BMagnetic FieldProblem: A proton moves perpendicularly to a uniform magnetic field B at 107 m/s and experiences an acceleration of 2 1013 m/s2 in the +x direction when its velocity is in +z direction.Find the magnitude and direction of the field.
