What are the steps to calculate magnetic force on a conductor?
Determine the induced current (I) in the conductor. 2. Identify the magnetic field vector (B). 3. Define the displacement vector (d). 4. Integrate I(d×B) over the length of the conductor to find the magnetic force FB.
What are the steps to apply Newton's Second Law to a conducting loop in a magnetic field?
Identify all forces acting on the loop (including magnetic force). 2. Calculate the net force (Fnet). 3. Use Fnet=ma to find the acceleration (a). 4. Use kinematic equations to predict the loop's motion.
What are the differences between translational and rotational acceleration caused by magnetic forces?
Translational Acceleration: Results in linear motion, changes the object's position in a straight line. | Rotational Acceleration: Results in rotational motion, changes the object's angular velocity around an axis.
Define magnetic force vector (FB).
The vector representing the force exerted on a current-carrying conductor by a magnetic field.
Define induced current (I).
The electric current generated in a conductive loop due to a changing magnetic flux.
Define displacement vector (d).
A tiny vector representing a small segment of the conductor's length, used in calculating magnetic force.
Define magnetic field vector (B).
A vector field that describes the magnetic influence of electric currents and magnetic materials.
Define magnetic flux.
A measure of the amount of magnetic field lines passing through a given area. It's the product of the magnetic field strength and the area perpendicular to the field.
Define translational acceleration.
Acceleration in a straight line, resulting in a change in linear velocity.
Define rotational acceleration.
Acceleration around an axis, resulting in a change in angular velocity.
