Handout 1: Introduction to moving charges and magnetism
Remembering Magnets
What do you already know about magnets? Have you ever used them?
Magnets have two poles: North and South. Like poles repel, and opposite poles attract.
The Earth itself is a giant magnet! That's why a compass needle points North.
Magnetic Fields: The Invisible Force
A magnetic field is the area around a magnet where its force can be felt. We can't see it, but we
can visualize it using magnetic field lines.
Magnetic field lines flow from the North pole to the South pole of a magnet. The closer the
lines, the stronger the magnetic field.
Iron filings sprinkled around a magnet align themselves along the magnetic field lines, giving us
a visual representation.
The Surprising Connection: Electricity and Magnetism
In 1820, Hans Christian Oersted made a groundbreaking discovery: moving electric charges
create a magnetic field!
This connection between electricity and magnetism is called electromagnetism.
Think of a simple circuit with a wire connected to a battery. When current flows through the
wire, it creates a magnetic field around it. This field can be strong enough to deflect a compass
needle.
Moving Charges in a Magnetic Field: Feeling the Force
When an electric charge moves within a magnetic field, it experiences a force. The direction of
this force depends on the direction of the magnetic field and the direction of the charge's
velocity.
We can determine the direction of the force using the Right-Hand Rule. (Your teacher will
demonstrate this rule in class.)

Handout 1: Magnetic force: unveiling the invisible force
Introduction to Magnetism
We've all experienced the invisible force of magnets – how they attract certain metals and
seem to pull or push each other without even touching. This fascinating force is called
magnetism.
A magnetic field is the region around a magnet where this force can be detected. It's like an
invisible aura surrounding the magnet.
Sources of Magnetic Fields
Magnets we encounter in everyday life are called permanent magnets. They produce a constant
magnetic field.
Electromagnets, on the other hand, create magnetic fields only when an electric current flows
through them. This makes them very useful for devices where we need to control the magnetic
field.
Magnetic Field Lines
We visualize magnetic fields through magnetic field lines. These lines have some key properties:
- They emerge from the north pole of a magnet and enter the south pole, forming closed loops.
- The density of the lines represents the strength of the magnetic field – closer lines mean a
stronger field.
- They never intersect, indicating that the magnetic field has a unique direction at any point.
Magnetic Force on Moving Charges
A charge moving through a magnetic field experiences a force called the Lorentz force. This
force is perpendicular to both the velocity of the charge and the direction of the magnetic field.
The magnitude of this force is given by: F = qvB sinθ, where:
- F is the magnetic force
- q is the magnitude of the charge
- v is the velocity of the charge
- B is the magnetic field strength
- θ is the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field
Fleming's Left-Hand Rule
This handy rule helps us determine the direction of the magnetic force on a moving charge:
- Stretch out your thumb, index finger, and middle finger of your left hand so they are mutually
perpendicular.
- Point your index finger in the direction of the magnetic field (B).
- Point your middle finger in the direction of the velocity of the positive charge (v).
- Your thumb will then point in the direction of the magnetic force (F).
Magnetic Force on a Current-Carrying Conductor
Since electric current is essentially a flow of charges, a current-carrying wire placed in a
magnetic field also experiences a force.
The force on a straight conductor is given by: F = BIL sinθ, where:
- F is the magnetic force
- B is the magnetic field strength
- I is the current in the conductor
- L is the length of the conductor inside the magnetic field
- θ is the angle between the direction of the current and the magnetic field
Applications of Magnetic Force
The principle of magnetic force on current-carrying conductors is the foundation for many
technologies, including:
- Electric motors: They convert electrical energy into mechanical energy using the magnetic
force on current-carrying coils.
- Loudspeakers: They use magnetic force to vibrate a diaphragm, producing sound waves.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): This medical imaging technique utilizes strong magnetic
fields and radio waves to visualize internal organs.
Practice Problems
1. A proton with a charge of +1.6 × 10^-19 C moves through a magnetic field of 0.5 T with a
velocity of 2 × 10^6 m/s. What is the magnetic force on the proton if its velocity is
perpendicular to the magnetic field?
2. A straight wire carrying a current of 5 A is placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.2 T. The
wire is 10 cm long and is placed perpendicular to the magnetic field. What is the magnitude of
the force on the wire?
3. Think of a real-world scenario where you can apply the concepts of magnetic force and
Lorentz force. Describe the situation and how the principles apply.
Additional Notes
• Remember: Understanding the interaction between moving charges and magnetic fields
is crucial for comprehending various phenomena, from the basic working of a compass
to the complex functioning of an MRI machine.
• Keep exploring and asking questions! The world of physics is full of fascinating
discoveries waiting to be made.
Narration 1: Magnetic force: unveiling the invisible force
Engaging with the Invisible Force (5 minutes) (5 minutes)
• Alright everyone, let's kick things off today with a little magic show! But instead of
rabbits and hats, we'll be dealing with an invisible force that's just as fascinating -
magnetism!
• I have here some bar magnets and iron filings. Watch closely as I sprinkle these filings
around the magnet. What patterns do you observe? What does this tell us about the
nature of magnetic force?
• This experiment gives us a glimpse into the world of magnetic fields, which we'll be
exploring in depth today. Our focus will be on understanding the sources of these fields
and how they interact with moving electric charges, leading to some amazing
applications in our daily lives.
Decoding Sources and Fields (10 minutes) (10 minutes)
• So, where does this mysterious magnetic force come from? Well, it turns out that
magnetism is intricately linked to electricity. We have two main sources of magnetic
fields: permanent magnets, like the ones we just saw, and electromagnets, which are
created by electric current.
• Think of magnetic field lines as invisible highways that map out the direction and
strength of the magnetic force. They flow from the north pole to the south pole of a
magnet. The closer these lines are, the stronger the magnetic field.
• Let's visualize these lines using iron filings and a compass. Observe how the compass
needle aligns itself with the magnetic field lines, always pointing towards the magnetic
south pole. This is how a compass helps us navigate!
Unleashing the Lorentz Force (15 minutes) (15 minutes)
• Now, things get even more interesting when we introduce moving electric charges into
the picture. Just as a stationary charge experiences an electric force in an electric field, a
moving charge experiences a magnetic force in a magnetic field. This force is known as
the Lorentz force.
• The formula for magnetic force is given by F = qvB sinθ, where F is the magnetic force, q
is the magnitude of the charge, v is the velocity of the charge, B is the magnetic field
strength, and θ is the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field.
• To determine the direction of this force, we use Fleming's left-hand rule. If you point
your thumb, index finger, and middle finger of your left hand mutually perpendicular to
each other, with the index finger representing the magnetic field direction and the
middle finger representing the current direction (which is the direction of motion of
positive charge), then your thumb will point in the direction of the magnetic force on
the charge.
• Let's apply this knowledge to solve a numerical problem. Suppose a charge of 2
Coulombs is moving with a velocity of 5 meters per second perpendicular to a magnetic
field of 3 Tesla. Can anyone calculate the magnetic force experienced by the charge?
Powering Up with Current-Carrying Conductors (10 minutes) (10
minutes)
• Now, imagine a stream of charged particles moving through a wire, creating an electric
current. When this current-carrying wire is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a
magnetic force as well. This force is the basis for many technological marvels, including
electric motors!
• The formula for the force on a straight current-carrying conductor is F = BIL sinθ, where
F is the magnetic force, B is the magnetic field strength, I is the current, L is the length of
the conductor in the field, and θ is the angle between the current direction and the
magnetic field.
• To illustrate this, let's set up a simple experiment using a battery, a wire, and a magnet.
When we pass current through the wire, observe how it moves in response to the
magnetic field. The direction of motion can be determined using Fleming's left-hand rule
again.
• This principle of magnetic force on a current-carrying conductor forms the foundation
for electric motors, which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, powering
countless devices we use every day.
Creative Magnetism Challenge (5 minutes) (5 minutes)
• Now, it's time to put on your thinking caps and apply your knowledge creatively! I'm
dividing you into groups and presenting each group with a real-world scenario involving
magnetic force.
• For instance, your challenge could be to design a simple experiment to demonstrate the
factors affecting the force on a current-carrying wire, or to analyze the working principle
of a loudspeaker.
• Take some time to brainstorm, apply the concepts we've learned, and come up with
innovative solutions or designs. Remember, there are no wrong answers here, just
opportunities to explore and learn!

Handout 1: Motion in a magnetic field
Introduction: Revisiting Magnetism
Remember how magnets attract certain metals? That attraction comes from magnetism! A
magnetic field is the area around a magnet where this force acts. We represent it through
magnetic field lines. We will explore how electric charges behave within these fields.
Force on a Moving Charge in a Magnetic Field
Imagine a charge cruising through a magnetic field. It experiences a force! This magnetic force
(F) depends on:
- The charge of the particle (q),
- The velocity of the charge (v),
- The strength of the magnetic field (B),
- And the angle (θ) between the velocity and the magnetic field.
This relationship is summed up by the equation: F = qvB sinθ
Importantly, the force is perpendicular to both the velocity and the magnetic field. We can
determine its direction using the right-hand rule.
Force on a Current-Carrying Conductor
Now, imagine a wire carrying current within a magnetic field. Since current is just a bunch of
moving charges, the wire also experiences a force.
For a straight wire, this force is given by: F = BIL sinθ
- Where I is the current,
- L is the length of the wire within the field,
- And θ is the angle between the current direction and the magnetic field.
Fleming's left-hand rule helps us figure out the direction of this force.
Motion of Charged Particles in Magnetic Fields
What happens when a charged particle enters a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to its
velocity? It starts moving in a circle!
The radius of this circular path is: r = (mv) / (qB)
- Where m is the mass of the particle.
The time it takes to complete one circle (period) is: T = (2πm) / (qB)
If the velocity has a component parallel to the field, the particle will follow a helical (spiral)
path.
Magnetic mirroring occurs when a charged particle, moving in a non-uniform magnetic field,
gets reflected back from regions of stronger magnetic field.
Let's Solve Some Problems!
1. A proton (charge +1.6 x 10^-19 C) is moving with a velocity of 5 x 10^5 m/s through a
magnetic field of 2 T. The velocity is perpendicular to the field. What is the magnetic force
acting on the proton?
2. An electron enters a uniform magnetic field of 0.5 T with a velocity of 10^6 m/s
perpendicular to the field. Calculate the radius of the circular path it follows. (Mass of electron
= 9.1 x 10^-31 kg)
Think about how these concepts are used in particle accelerators to control and speed up
charged particles! We will explore these applications in more detail in the next lesson.
Additional Notes
• Remember: Visualizing the scenarios and using the right-hand and left-hand rules can be
super helpful in understanding the directions of forces and motion.
• Keep those physics brains buzzing!
Narration 1: Motion in a magnetic field
Recap of Magnetic Force and Fields (10 minutes) (10 minutes)
• Let's begin today's class by revisiting what we've learned about magnetic force and
magnetic fields. Can anyone remind me what a magnetic field is and how it interacts
with magnets?
• Excellent! Now, let's recall how a magnetic field affects a current-carrying conductor.
What happens when a wire with current flowing through it is placed in a magnetic field?
• Great job! We're now going to delve deeper into this interaction and understand how
charged particles behave when they move within magnetic fields. This area of study has
immense significance in various fields like particle physics and medical imaging.
Force on a Moving Charge (15 minutes) (15 minutes)
• Imagine a single charged particle, like an electron, zipping through a magnetic field.
What do you think will happen to it? Will it continue in a straight line, or will its path be
altered?
• That's right! A moving charge in a magnetic field experiences a force. This force is what
causes the charge to deviate from its original path. Now, let's learn how to calculate this
force. The formula is F = qvB sinθ, where F represents the magnetic force, q is the
magnitude of the charge, v is the velocity of the charge, B is the magnetic field strength,
and θ is the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field. Remember, this force is
a vector, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. The direction is determined by
the right-hand rule. Let me demonstrate how it works using my right hand.
• Now, let's visualize different scenarios. What happens to the force when the charge
moves parallel to the magnetic field? What if it moves perpendicular? How about when
the angle is somewhere in between? Let's explore these possibilities with diagrams and
examples.
Force on a Current-Carrying Conductor (10 minutes) (10 minutes)
• Now that we understand how a single charge behaves, let's extend this concept to a
current-carrying conductor. Remember that current is essentially a stream of moving
charges.
• When a current-carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field, each moving charge
within it experiences a force. These individual forces add up, resulting in a net force
acting on the entire conductor. The formula for this force is F = BIL sinθ, where I is the
current, L is the length of the conductor, and the other terms remain the same as
before.
• Similar to the force on a single charge, the direction of this force is determined by
Fleming's left-hand rule. Let me show you how to apply this rule. Using your left hand,
point your thumb in the direction of the current, your index finger in the direction of the
magnetic field, and your middle finger will then point in the direction of the force on the
conductor.
Motion of Charged Particles in Magnetic Fields (10 minutes) (10
minutes)
• Let's now visualize what happens when charged particles move in different types of
magnetic fields. First, consider a uniform magnetic field. If a charged particle enters this
field perpendicular to the field lines, what kind of path do you think it will follow?
• Excellent! The force on the charge will always be perpendicular to its velocity, causing it
to move in a circle. The radius of this circle and the time it takes to complete one
revolution can be calculated using specific formulas. Now, what if the particle enters the
field at an angle? In this case, it follows a helical path, a combination of circular motion
and linear motion.
Problem-Solving and Applications (5 minutes) (5 minutes)
Let's apply what we've learned to solve some numerical problems related to the motion of
charged particles in magnetic fields. I'll present a few problems, and we'll work through them
together step by step. Feel free to ask questions and share your thought processes.

biot-savart law
Introduction: The Invisible Force
Have you ever wondered how magnets attract or repel each other without touching? Or how a
compass needle always points north? These phenomena are due to a fundamental force in
nature: magnetism. In this chapter, we will explore the fascinating relationship between
electricity and magnetism, specifically how moving electric charges create magnetic fields.
Unveiling the Biot-Savart Law
The Biot-Savart Law is our key to understanding the magnetic field created by a current-
carrying wire. Just like Coulomb's Law helps us calculate electric fields due to charges, the Biot-
Savart Law allows us to determine the magnetic field at a point due to a small segment of
current.
The Equation
The Biot-Savart Law states that the magnetic field (dB) at a point due to a small element of
current (Idl) is:
- Directly proportional to the current (I)
- Directly proportional to the length of the element (dl)
- Directly proportional to the sine of the angle (θ) between the current element and the line
joining the element to the point
- Inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r) between the element and the point
Visualizing the Magnetic Field
Imagine a straight wire carrying current. The magnetic field lines around this wire form
concentric circles, with the wire at the center. The direction of these field lines can be
determined using the right-hand rule:
- Point your right thumb in the direction of the current.
- Curl your fingers around the wire.
- The direction of your curled fingers represents the direction of the magnetic field lines.
Factors Affecting Magnetic Field Strength
The strength of the magnetic field at a point due to a current element depends on:
- Current (I): Higher the current, stronger the magnetic field.
- Distance (r): Magnetic field strength decreases with increasing distance from the current
element.
Angle (θ): The magnetic field is strongest when the point is perpendicular to the current
element (θ = 90°) and zero when the point is along the line of the current element (θ = 0° or
180°).
Applications of Biot-Savart Law
The Biot-Savart Law is fundamental to understanding and designing various technologies,
including:
- Electromagnets: Used in devices like motors, generators, and loudspeakers.
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): A medical imaging technique that utilizes strong magnetic
fields.
- Particle Accelerators: Used in scientific research to accelerate charged particles to high
speeds.
Practice Problems
1. A long straight wire carries a current of 5 A. What is the magnitude of the magnetic field at a
point 10 cm from the wire?
2. Two parallel wires carry currents in the same direction. What is the direction of the magnetic
force between the wires?
3. A circular loop of wire carries a current. What is the direction of the magnetic field at the
center of the loop?

us to calculate the magnetic field produced by moving charges. Understanding this law
is crucial for comprehending various electromagnetic phenomena and technological
applications.

The Intriguing Dance of Magnets and Currents (10 minutes) (10
minutes)
• Alright everyone, let's kick things off today with a little experiment! I have here a simple
wire connected to a battery, and right next to it, a compass. Now, as you all know, a
compass needle always points North, right? But watch what happens when I complete
this circuit by connecting the wire to the battery.
• Did you see that? The compass needle moved! But why? What force could be acting on
it? Well, this, my friends, is the magic of moving charges, or what we call electric
current, creating a magnetic field around them!
• This invisible force field around any wire carrying current is what we call a magnetic
field. And today, we're going on a mission to understand how to figure out this magnetic
field, using a very important law called the Biot-Savart Law.
Decoding the Biot-Savart Law (15 minutes) (15 minutes)
• The Biot-Savart Law is our key to unlocking the secrets of the magnetic field created by a
current-carrying wire. It tells us that every tiny part of this wire, every little segment of
current, contributes to the magnetic field at a point.
• Now, let's break down the actual equation for the Biot-Savart Law and understand what
each term signifies. Don't worry, it's not as intimidating as it might look!
• And here's the interesting part – the magnetic field isn't just about strength; it also has
direction! We can figure out this direction using the right-hand rule, which we'll practice
together.
Unraveling the Factors at Play (10 minutes) (10 minutes)
• So, we know that current creates a magnetic field, but how strong is this field, and in
what direction? Well, the Biot-Savart Law tells us that it depends on a few key players:
• First, we have the amount of current flowing through the wire. More current, stronger
the magnetic field – just like having more water flowing in a river makes the current
stronger.
• Second, the distance from the wire matters. Imagine standing close to a speaker versus
far away – the sound intensity changes, right? Similarly, the magnetic field weakens as
we move away from the wire.
• Lastly, the angle at which we're looking at the wire also plays a role. Think of it like
looking at a flashlight beam head-on versus from the side – the brightness appears
different. Similarly, the magnetic field strength changes with the angle.
Putting the Law into Action (10 minutes) (10 minutes)
• Now that we understand the Biot-Savart Law, let's put on our thinking caps and apply it
to a real problem! Suppose we have a straight wire carrying a certain amount of current.
How can we calculate the magnetic field at a specific point away from this wire?
• I'll walk you through a step-by-step solution on the board using the Biot-Savart Law, and
then, it's your turn! I have prepared some interesting problems for you all to solve in
pairs. These problems involve different arrangements of current-carrying wires, and
your task is to use the Biot-Savart Law to crack the magnetic field code!
Wrapping Up and Looking Ahead (5 minutes) (5 minutes)
• Let's take a moment to recap what we've learned today. We dove into the world of
magnetic fields, explored the Biot-Savart Law, and even used it to solve problems.
We've uncovered the factors influencing the magnetic field's strength and direction.
• But our journey doesn't end here! In our next class, get ready to explore another
intriguing law – Ampere's Law – which offers a different, and sometimes easier, way to
calculate these magnetic fields, especially for symmetrical arrangements of wires. It's
like having different tools in our physics toolbox!
• Until then, stay curious, and keep those physics brains buzzing!

Handout 1: Magnetic field due to a circular current loop
Introduction
We will be exploring the magnetic field created by a circular loop of wire carrying an electric
current. This is a fundamental concept in electromagnetism with various applications.
We will be using the Biot-Savart Law, which you should be familiar with. This law helps us
calculate the magnetic field created by a current at any point in space.
Deriving the Formula
Imagine a circular loop of wire with radius "a" carrying a current "I". We want to find the
magnetic field "B" at a point "P" located a distance "x" away from the center of the loop, along
its axis.
We consider a small segment of the loop "dl". The magnetic field "dB" due to this segment at
point "P" can be given by the Biot-Savart Law.
Due to the symmetry of the loop, the components of "dB" perpendicular to the axis will cancel
out when we integrate over the entire loop. Therefore, only the component of "dB" along the
axis contributes to the net magnetic field at "P".
After integrating the expression for "dB" over the entire loop, we arrive at the formula for the
magnetic field at point "P": B = (μ₀ * I * a²) / (2 * (a² + x²)^(3/2)), where μ₀ is the permeability of
free space.
Analyzing the Formula
The magnetic field "B" is directly proportional to the current "I" flowing through the loop. A
higher current results in a stronger magnetic field.
The magnetic field "B" is inversely proportional to the distance "x" from the center of the loop.
As you move farther away from the loop, the magnetic field strength decreases.
At the center of the loop (x = 0), the magnetic field is maximum and is given by: B = (μ₀ * I) / (2
* a).
The direction of the magnetic field can be determined using the right-hand rule. If you curl the
fingers of your right hand in the direction of the current, your thumb will point in the direction
of the magnetic field.
Applications
Electromagnets: Circular current loops form the basis of electromagnets, which are used in
various applications like motors, generators, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Magnetic Dipole Moment: The magnetic field produced by a current loop is similar to that of a
bar magnet. This leads to the concept of the magnetic dipole moment, which is important in
understanding the behavior of magnetic materials.
Practice Problem
A circular loop of wire with a radius of 5 cm carries a current of 2 A. What is the magnetic field
strength at a point on the axis of the loop, 10 cm away from the center?
Additional Notes
• Remember to use the correct units for all quantities involved in the calculations.
• Try to visualize the magnetic field lines around the current loop. You can use iron filings
sprinkled on a piece of paper with the loop placed on top to observe the field pattern.
• Explore further: How does the magnetic field on the axis of a circular loop change if we
have multiple loops stacked together (like in a solenoid)?
Narration 1: Magnetic field due to a circular current loop
Recap and Introduction (5 minutes)
• Let's begin today's session by revisiting a fundamental law that governs the magnetic
fields produced by currents: the Biot-Savart Law. Can anyone remind us what this law
states and its significance?
• Excellent! Now, let's steer our attention to a specific scenario - determining the
magnetic field generated on the axis of a circular loop carrying current. This is a crucial
concept as it lays the groundwork for understanding the magnetic behavior of various
current configurations we encounter in physics.
• Imagine a tiny loop of wire carrying current. How would we figure out the magnetic field
it creates at a point directly above its center? That's what we'll uncover today!
Deriving the Formula (20 minutes)
• To visualize this, let's sketch a circular loop with current 'I' flowing through it. Now,
imagine a tiny segment of this loop, a current element denoted as 'dl'. We can use the
Biot-Savart Law to find the magnetic field 'dB' at a point on the loop's axis due to this
tiny element.
• Remember the right-hand rule? It helps us determine the direction of this magnetic field
'dB'. Now, due to the symmetrical nature of our circular loop, only the component of
'dB' along the axis contributes to the net magnetic field. Why do you think that is?
• Our next step is to integrate the expression for 'dB' over the entire loop. This will give us
the formula for the total magnetic field 'B' at any point on the axis. Don't worry, we'll
break down this integration step-by-step, and you'll see it's not as intimidating as it
sounds!
Analysis and Discussion (15 minutes)
• Now, let's examine the formula we've derived. What factors influence the strength of
this magnetic field? The formula clearly shows the dependence on the current, the
radius of the loop, and the distance from the loop's center.
• Let's imagine moving along the axis of the loop. How do you think the magnetic field
strength changes as we move further away from the center? And what about the
magnetic field at the very center of the loop - any special characteristics there?
• If we have time, we'll use a circular loop apparatus and a magnetic compass to visually
demonstrate the magnetic field and its behavior. This will give you a practical
perspective on what we've discussed theoretically.
Application and Problem Solving (5 minutes)
• Now that we have a grasp of the theory, let's apply our knowledge to a real-world
problem! We'll work through a numerical problem together, step-by-step, where we
need to calculate the magnetic field on the axis of a circular current loop.
• I encourage everyone to actively participate in solving this problem. Don't hesitate to
share your thoughts and ideas. Once we've found the solution, we'll discuss its
significance and explore how this concept is applied in practical scenarios.
Conclusion (0 minutes)
Today, we've embarked on a journey to understand the magnetic field produced by a circular
current loop on its axis. We began by recalling the Biot-Savart Law, then meticulously derived
the formula for the magnetic field, carefully analyzed its components and dependencies, and
finally, applied our knowledge to solve a practical problem. Remember, understanding this
concept is fundamental to comprehending the magnetic behavior of various current
configurations. Great work today!

Handout 1: Unveiling ampere's circuital law
What is Ampere's Circuital Law?
Ampere's Circuital Law provides a powerful way to determine the magnetic field (B) produced
by a steady electric current (I).
Imagine a closed loop, or path, surrounding a wire carrying a current. Ampere's Law tells us
that the total magnetic field along this loop is directly proportional to the current passing
through the loop.
Mathematically, it's represented as: ∮B⋅dl = μ₀I
- Where:
- ∮B⋅dl represents the line integral of the magnetic field (B) around the closed path.
- μ₀ is the permeability of free space (a constant value).
- I is the total current enclosed by the path.
Key Points to Remember
Line Integral: Think of it like adding up all the tiny contributions of the magnetic field along the
chosen loop. It considers both the strength and direction of the field.
Permeability of Free Space (μ₀): This constant tells us how easily a magnetic field can be
established in a vacuum. It's like a measure of how 'permeable' space is to magnetic fields.
Right-Hand Rule: You can use the right-hand rule to determine the direction of the magnetic
field around a current-carrying wire. Point your thumb in the direction of the current, and your
curled fingers will show the direction of the magnetic field lines.
Applications of Ampere's Law
Magnetic Field of a Straight Wire: Ampere's Law helps us derive the formula for the magnetic
field around a long, straight wire, which is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire.
Solenoids: It's used to calculate the magnetic field inside a solenoid (a coil of wire), which is
approximately uniform.
Toroids: Ampere's Law is also applied to toroids (donut-shaped coils) to determine the
magnetic field within them.
Limitations of Ampere’s Law
Steady Currents: Ampere's Law in its basic form works best for steady currents (not changing
with time).
Displacement Current: For situations involving changing electric fields, a modification called
'displacement current' is introduced to make Ampere's Law more general.
Practice Problems
Calculate the magnetic field at a distance 'r' from a long, straight wire carrying current 'I'. Use
Ampere's Law and the right-hand rule to determine the direction of the field.
A solenoid has 'n' turns of wire per unit length and carries a current 'I'. Use Ampere's Law to
find the magnetic field inside the solenoid, assuming it's much longer than its radius.
Research: Find examples of how Ampere's Law is used in practical applications, such as in
designing electromagnets or in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Additional Notes
• Ampere's Law is a fundamental law in electromagnetism that helps us understand and
calculate magnetic fields produced by electric currents. By mastering this law, you gain a
deeper insight into the fascinating interplay between electricity and magnetism.
• Keep exploring, and don't hesitate to ask questions!
Narration 1: Unveiling ampere's circuital law
Recap of Magnetic Fields and Introduction to Ampere's Law (10
minutes) (10 minutes)
• Let's begin today's session by revisiting a fascinating concept we've explored earlier –
magnetic fields generated by moving charges. Remember how a simple flow of
electrons can create a magnetic influence around it? Today, we're going to delve deeper
into this relationship and discover a powerful tool that helps us calculate this magnetic
field - Ampere's Circuital Law.
• Imagine you have a wire carrying an electric current. This current creates an invisible
force field around the wire – the magnetic field. Ampere's Circuital Law provides an
elegant way to determine the strength and direction of this field.
Deciphering Ampere's Circuital Law (15 minutes) (15 minutes)
• Now, let's break down Ampere's Circuital Law into simpler terms. Imagine taking a stroll
around the wire carrying the current. This stroll represents the 'closed path' mentioned
in the law. As you walk, you measure the magnetic field at every point along this path
and add up those measurements. This process of adding up is called 'line integral' in
physics.
• Ampere's Law states that this sum, the line integral of the magnetic field, is directly
proportional to the total current flowing through the wire. The constant of
proportionality is μ0, known as the permeability of free space, a fundamental constant
in electromagnetism.
Visualizing Ampere's Law and Its Applications (15 minutes) (15
minutes)
• To solidify our understanding, let's visualize this law using diagrams. Imagine a straight,
infinitely long wire carrying a current. We can draw imaginary loops, our 'closed paths,'
around this wire. Ampere's Law allows us to calculate the magnetic field at any point on
these loops.
• A practical application of this law is determining the magnetic field produced by a
solenoid, a coil of wire. By applying Ampere's Law, we can calculate the magnetic field
inside the solenoid, which is surprisingly uniform.
• Let's solve a numerical problem together to see how we can apply Ampere's Law to
calculate the magnetic field at a specific distance from a current-carrying conductor.
Beyond Ampere's Law: A Glimpse into Future Concepts (5 minutes) (5
minutes)
While incredibly powerful, Ampere's Law has its limitations. It works perfectly for steady
currents, but what happens when the current changes with time? That's where the concept of
displacement current comes in, a modification to Ampere's Law introduced by Maxwell to
account for time-varying fields. We will explore this fascinating concept in our upcoming
lessons.
Wrapping Up and Looking Ahead (5 minutes) (5 minutes)
• To sum up, Ampere's Circuital Law provides a fundamental relationship between
electricity and magnetism, allowing us to calculate magnetic fields produced by current-
carrying conductors. It lays the groundwork for understanding more complex
electromagnetic phenomena.
• As we move forward, we will delve deeper into the world of electromagnetism,
exploring concepts like magnetic flux and Faraday's Law, which beautifully describe the
interplay between changing magnetic fields and electric currents. Stay curious and keep
those questions coming!

What is a Solenoid?
A solenoid is a coil of wire wound tightly in many turns, often around a cylindrical core. Think of
it like a spring made of wire!
When an electric current flows through this coil, it creates a magnetic field around it, turning
the solenoid into an electromagnet.
The Magic of Magnetism

sprinkling iron filings around it, the filings will arrange themselves along the magnetic field
lines.
The pattern formed resembles that of a bar magnet, with a north pole and a south pole.

Imagine holding the solenoid in your right hand with your fingers curled in the direction of the
conventional current (from positive to negative terminal).
Your extended thumb will then point towards the north pole of the solenoid.
Factors Influencing Magnetic Field Strength
Number of Turns
Just like adding more loops to a spring makes it stronger, increasing the number of turns in the
solenoid strengthens its magnetic field.
Current Strength
A higher current flowing through the solenoid results in a stronger magnetic field. Think of it as
increasing the water flow in a pipe for greater force.
Core Material
Adding a ferromagnetic core, like an iron rod, inside the solenoid can significantly enhance its
magnetic field strength.
Solenoid Design Challenge
Time to put your thinking caps on! Your challenge is to design a simple experiment that
demonstrates how one of the factors mentioned earlier affects the magnetic field strength of a
solenoid.
Think about using different solenoids, power sources, iron cores, and compasses to observe and
measure the changes in the magnetic field.
Additional Notes
• Remember, solenoids are not just theoretical concepts; they are found in numerous
devices we use every day, from electric bells and door locks to medical imaging
equipment and particle accelerators.
• Keep exploring and stay curious about the fascinating world of electromagnetism!
Narration 1: Exploring the fascinating world of solenoids
Everyday Encounters with Solenoids (10 minutes)
• Good morning, class! Before we dive into the world of solenoids, let's start by thinking
about our everyday experiences. Have you ever wondered how an electric bell rings or
how a scrapyard crane lifts heavy objects? The answer lies in a fascinating device called
a solenoid.
• A solenoid is a simple coil of wire that becomes an electromagnet when an electric
current flows through it. It's a key component in many devices we use daily.
Constructing a Solenoid: From Wire to Wonder (5 minutes)
Now, let's understand how a solenoid is made. Imagine taking a long piece of insulated copper
wire and winding it neatly around a cylindrical object, like a pen. That's essentially what a
solenoid is! The more turns of wire you have, the stronger the magnetic field it can produce.
Unveiling the Invisible: Magnetic Field of a Solenoid (10 minutes)
But how do we know that a solenoid actually produces a magnetic field? Let's conduct a simple
experiment. I have a solenoid connected to a power source. When I turn on the power and
sprinkle iron filings around the solenoid, observe what happens. You'll see the iron filings
arrange themselves in a specific pattern, revealing the invisible magnetic field lines.
Decoding the Right-Hand Rule (10 minutes)
To determine the direction of the magnetic field, we use the Right-Hand Rule. Imagine grasping
the solenoid with your right hand, such that your curled fingers point in the direction of the
conventional current flow. Your extended thumb will then point towards the north pole of the
solenoid.
Factors Influencing Solenoid Strength (10 minutes)
The strength of a solenoid's magnetic field isn't constant—it can be influenced by several
factors. Can anyone guess what these factors might be? That's right! The number of turns in
the coil, the amount of current flowing through it, and the presence of a ferromagnetic core
inside the solenoid all play a role in determining its magnetic strength.
Solenoid Design Challenge (5 minutes)
Now, let's put our knowledge to the test with a Solenoid Design Challenge! I'm going to divide
you into groups and challenge each group to design a simple experiment to demonstrate one
factor affecting the magnetic field strength of a solenoid. Use the materials provided and let
your creativity flow!

Handout 1: Force between parallel currents and the ampere
Introduction
We already know that a current-carrying conductor produces a magnetic field. But did you
know that two current-carrying conductors placed near each other exert a force on one
another? This interaction is a fundamental aspect of electromagnetism.
In this handout, we will delve into the force between two parallel current-carrying conductors
and understand how this phenomenon leads to the definition of the Ampere, the unit of
electric current.
Force Between Two Parallel Currents
Imagine two parallel wires carrying electric current. Each wire generates its own magnetic field
due to the moving charges (electrons) within it.
These magnetic fields interact, leading to a force between the wires. The nature of this force
depends on the direction of the currents:
Attractive Force:
When currents in the two parallel wires flow in the same direction, the wires experience an
attractive force, pulling them towards each other.
Repulsive Force:
When currents in the two parallel wires flow in opposite directions, the wires experience a
repulsive force, pushing them away from each other.
Calculating the Force
The force per unit length (F/l) between two parallel conductors carrying currents I₁ and I₂
separated by a distance d is given by:
F/l = μ₀I₁I₂ / 2πd
Where:
- F is the force between the conductors (in Newtons)
- l is the length of the conductors (in meters)
- μ₀ is the permeability of free space (a constant value of 4π × 10⁻⁷ T⋅m/A)
- I₁ and I₂ are the currents in the conductors (in Amperes)
- d is the distance between the conductors (in meters)
The Ampere
The Ampere (A), often shortened to "amp," is the base unit of electric current in the
International System of Units (SI).
The formal definition of the Ampere, based on the force between two parallel conductors, is:
“One Ampere is the constant current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of
infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed 1 meter apart in vacuum, would
produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 × 10⁻⁷ newton per meter of length.”
Applications
The force between parallel currents has numerous applications in our daily lives and various
technologies, including:
Electromagnets:
By winding a wire into a coil (solenoid) and passing a current through it, we can create a strong
magnetic field. This principle is used in devices like MRI machines, loudspeakers, and electric
motors.
Motors:
Electric motors utilize the force between current-carrying conductors and magnetic fields to
generate rotational motion, powering a wide range of devices from electric fans to electric
vehicles.
Power Transmission Lines:
The high-voltage power lines you see crisscrossing the landscape carry alternating current (AC).
While not strictly parallel, the force between these lines is a factor in their design and spacing.
Points to Remember
Parallel currents flowing in the same direction attract each other, while those flowing in
opposite directions repel.
The force between parallel currents is directly proportional to the product of the currents and
inversely proportional to the distance between them.
The Ampere is defined based on the force between two parallel conductors carrying a constant
current.
Practice Problems
Two parallel wires 1 meter long each carry a current of 5 A in the same direction. If the wires
are 0.1 meters apart, calculate the magnitude of the force between them.
Two parallel conductors carrying currents of 2 A and 4 A in opposite directions are separated by
a distance of 0.05 meters. Determine the force per unit length between the conductors.
Explain why high-voltage power lines are usually spaced far apart from each other.
Additional Notes
• Think about other applications of the force between parallel currents in technology and
everyday life. How does this phenomenon contribute to the functioning of devices you
use regularly?
• Further Exploration: Research the concept of magnetic flux and its relationship to the
force between current-carrying conductors. How does Faraday’s Law of electromagnetic
induction explain the interaction between changing magnetic fields and electric
currents?
Narration 1: Force between parallel currents and the ampere
Recap: The Magnetic Symphony of Moving Charges (5 minutes)
• Let's begin our journey into the fascinating world of moving charges and magnetism by
revisiting a familiar concept: the magnetic field generated by a straight current-carrying
conductor.
• Remember the elegant dance of the right-hand rule? It helps us visualize and determine
the direction of this magnetic field. Now, imagine two such conductors, each humming
with its own magnetic field, brought close to each other. What do you think would
happen?
• Today, we're going to explore this intriguing interaction, uncovering the forces that
attract or repel, and the factors that govern their strength.
Interactive Demonstration: Unveiling the Invisible Force (10 minutes)
• To truly grasp this phenomenon, let's witness it firsthand. I've set up a simple
demonstration with two long, straight wires connected to a power supply. When I turn
on the current, watch closely what happens to the wires.
• Notice how the wires move towards each other when the currents flow in the same
direction. Now, observe what happens when the currents flow in opposite directions.
Fascinating, isn't it?
• This visible interaction is a testament to the invisible force at play – the magnetic force
between parallel currents.
Decoding the Force: Factors at Play (10 minutes)
• Now that we've witnessed this force in action, let's delve into the factors that influence
its strength. The formula F/l = μ₀I₁I₂/2πd holds the key to understanding this interaction.
• Let's break it down together. 'F' represents the force, 'l' the length of the wires, 'μ₀' a
fundamental constant known as the permeability of free space, 'I₁' and 'I₂' the currents
in the wires, and 'd' the distance separating them. Can anyone tell me what happens to
the force if we increase the current in one of the wires?
• That's right! The force increases proportionally. Similarly, as the distance between the
wires decreases, the force strengthens. This interplay between current and distance
determines the intensity of the magnetic interaction.
The Ampere: A Unit Defined by Force (10 minutes)
• Now, let's turn our attention to a fundamental unit in electromagnetism: the Ampere,
often shortened to 'amp'. This unit, named after the French physicist André-Marie
Ampère, quantifies electric current.
• The formal definition of the Ampere beautifully encapsulates the force we've been
exploring: One Ampere is the constant current which, if maintained in two straight
parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible circular cross-section, and placed 1
meter apart in vacuum, would produce between these conductors a force equal to 2 ×
10⁻⁷ newton per meter of length.
• This definition emphasizes that the Ampere is not just an abstract unit, but one
intrinsically linked to the tangible force between current-carrying conductors.
From Theory to Application: Real-World Implications (5 minutes)
• The interaction between parallel currents isn't confined to textbook examples; it powers
countless technologies that shape our world.
• Consider electromagnets, used in everything from loudspeakers to MRI machines. Their
strength relies on the carefully controlled forces between parallel current-carrying coils.
Motors, which convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, also exploit this
principle.
• Even the efficient transmission of electricity over long distances relies on minimizing
energy losses due to the magnetic forces between power lines. Understanding these
interactions is crucial for designing and optimizing such technologies.
Challenge Your Intuition: Unconventional Configurations (5 minutes)
• Let's step outside the realm of perfectly parallel conductors and consider more complex
scenarios. What if the currents were not parallel but at an angle to each other? How
would the force change?
• Imagine two current-carrying loops placed close together. Can you predict how they
would interact? These questions challenge us to apply our understanding to
unconventional configurations, pushing the boundaries of our knowledge.
Homework: Solidifying Understanding, Sparking Curiosity (0 minutes)
To solidify your understanding, I'm assigning a few practice problems from the textbook.
Additionally, I encourage you to research and explore real-world applications of the force
between parallel currents. Prepare to share your findings and insights in our next class!

Handout 1: Torque on current loop and magnetic dipole
moment
Introduction: Torque on a Current Loop
We already know that a moving charge experiences a force in a magnetic field. But what
happens when a current-carrying loop is placed in a magnetic field? The loop experiences a
torque, which is a twisting force that causes rotation.
Torque on a Rectangular Loop
Imagine a rectangular loop carrying current (I) placed in a uniform magnetic field (B). The forces
on the opposite sides of the loop are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, creating a
net torque.
Deriving the Torque
The torque (τ) on a rectangular loop is given by: τ = NIBA sinθ, where:
- N is the number of turns in the loop
- I is the current in the loop
- B is the magnetic field strength
- A is the area of the loop
- θ is the angle between the magnetic field and the normal to the plane of the loop
Current Loop as a Magnetic Dipole
A current loop behaves like a tiny magnet, called a magnetic dipole. It has a north pole and a
south pole, just like a bar magnet.
Magnetic Dipole Moment
The strength of a magnetic dipole is given by its magnetic dipole moment (m), defined as: m =
NIA
- The direction of the magnetic dipole moment is perpendicular to the plane of the loop and
follows the right-hand rule.
Analogy: Current Loop vs. Bar Magnet
Both a current loop and a bar magnet produce similar magnetic fields. The field lines around a
current loop resemble those around a bar magnet.
Key Takeaways
A current-carrying loop in a magnetic field experiences a torque.
The torque is maximum when the plane of the loop is parallel to the magnetic field and zero
when it is perpendicular.
A current loop behaves as a magnetic dipole, with its own magnetic dipole moment.
Practice Problems
A rectangular loop of wire with sides 5 cm and 10 cm carries a current of 2 A. It is placed in a
uniform magnetic field of 0.5 T such that the plane of the loop makes an angle of 30° with the
field. Calculate the torque on the loop.
A circular loop of radius 2 cm carries a current of 1 A. What is the magnitude of its magnetic
dipole moment?
Additional Notes
• Visualize the forces and torque on a current loop using diagrams and animations. Try to
relate the concepts to real-world applications like electric motors and generators.
• Remember: The right-hand rule is your friend! Use it to determine the direction of the
magnetic force, magnetic field, and magnetic dipole moment.
Narration 1: Torque on current loop and magnetic dipole
moment
Recap and Introduction (5 minutes)
Let's begin today's class by quickly revisiting what we've learned about magnetic force on
moving charges and the magnetic field. Remember, a moving charge creates its own magnetic
field, and when this charge enters an external magnetic field, it experiences a force. Now,
imagine a wire carrying current, which is essentially a stream of moving charges. What happens
when this wire, bent in the form of a loop, is placed in a magnetic field? That's what we are
going to explore today! Think about this: how do you think the loop will behave in the magnetic
field? Will it move, rotate, or stay still? Let's find out!
Torque on a Rectangular Loop (15 minutes)
Let's visualize a rectangular loop carrying current 'I' placed in a uniform magnetic field 'B'. Can
someone help me draw this on the board? Good! Now, let's consider the forces acting on each
side of this loop. Notice that the forces on opposite sides are equal in magnitude but opposite
in direction. What does this tell us about the net force on the loop? Yes, the net force is zero,
which means the loop won't simply move in one direction. However, these forces do create a
turning effect on the loop, which we call torque. The torque (τ) is given by the formula: τ = NIBA
sinθ, where N is the number of turns in the loop, A is the area of the loop, and θ is the angle
between the magnetic field and the normal to the loop. The greater the area of the loop or the
stronger the magnetic field, the greater the torque. The sinθ term tells us that the torque is
maximum when the loop is oriented perpendicular to the field (θ = 90 degrees) and zero when
it's parallel (θ = 0 degrees).
Current Loop as a Magnetic Dipole (15 minutes)
Have you heard of a magnetic dipole? A magnetic dipole is like a tiny magnet with a north and
south pole. It creates a magnetic field around it, represented by field lines that emerge from
the north pole and curve towards the south pole. Now, here's something interesting: a current
loop behaves just like a magnetic dipole! It has its own magnetic dipole moment 'm', given by
m = NIA, where N, I, and A are the same as before. If you could shrink a current loop down to a
tiny size, it would essentially act like a tiny bar magnet. This analogy helps us understand how
compasses work or how magnets attract or repel each other. The magnetic dipole moment is
like the strength of this tiny magnet.
Application and Problem Solving (10 minutes)
Let's put our understanding to the test. Suppose we have a rectangular loop with 100 turns,
carrying a current of 2A, placed in a magnetic field of 0.5T. If the area of the loop is 0.1 square
meters and the angle between the loop and the field is 30 degrees, what is the torque
experienced by the loop? Let's use our formula: τ = NIBA sinθ and plug in the values. Can
someone help me calculate this? Great! Now, I want you all to work in pairs and try solving the
problems on the worksheet. These problems will help you practice calculating torque and
understanding the concept of magnetic dipole moment in different situations.
Conclusion and Summary (5 minutes)
To sum up, today, we explored the fascinating behavior of current loops in magnetic fields. We
learned that a current loop experiences a torque in a magnetic field due to the interaction
between the magnetic field and the current. We also discovered that a current loop acts like a
magnetic dipole, with its own magnetic dipole moment. Remember, the torque and dipole
moment depend on the loop's characteristics like its area, the current flowing through it, and
its orientation in the magnetic field. For homework, please solve the problems from the
textbook to solidify your understanding of these concepts. We will continue our exploration of
magnetism in the nex

Handout 1: Exploring the moving coil galvanometer
Introduction
In the realm of electromagnetism, understanding how moving charges interact with magnetic
fields is crucial. This interaction forms the basis for many electrical devices, one of which is the
moving coil galvanometer. This handout will delve into the workings of this device, its
significance, and its applications.
What is a Moving Coil Galvanometer?
A moving coil galvanometer is a highly sensitive instrument used to detect and measure
extremely small electric currents. It works on the principle that a current-carrying conductor
placed in a magnetic field experiences a torque.
Construction and Working Principle
A typical moving coil galvanometer consists of a rectangular coil of wire with numerous turns,
suspended freely in a strong, radial magnetic field provided by permanent magnets. This coil is
delicately pivoted on jeweled bearings to minimize friction and allow for free rotation. A soft
iron core is often placed within the coil to concentrate the magnetic field lines.
When an electric current flows through the coil, it generates its own magnetic field. This field
interacts with the external radial magnetic field, resulting in a torque that tends to rotate the
coil. The amount of deflection of the coil is directly proportional to the current flowing through
it.
A spring provides a counter-torque that increases with the coil's rotation. The coil comes to rest
when the magnetic torque balances the spring's restoring torque. A pointer attached to the coil
moves along a calibrated scale, indicating the current strength.
Key Features
Radial Magnetic Field
The radial magnetic field ensures that the plane of the coil is always parallel to the field lines,
maximizing the torque for a given current. This results in a linear scale for the galvanometer.
Torque
The torque on the coil is the rotational force that causes the deflection. It is directly
proportional to the current in the coil, the magnetic field strength, and the number of turns in
the coil.
Factors Affecting Sensitivity
The sensitivity of a galvanometer is determined by how much deflection is produced for a given
amount of current. Several factors influence this:
Number of Turns in the Coil
Increasing the number of turns increases the magnetic moment of the coil, leading to greater
torque and hence, higher sensitivity.
Magnetic Field Strength
A stronger magnetic field results in a larger torque for the same current, increasing sensitivity.
Spring Stiffness
A weaker spring allows for greater deflection for the same torque, increasing sensitivity, but it
may also make the instrument more delicate.
Area of the Coil
A larger coil area intercepts more magnetic flux, leading to higher sensitivity.
Applications
Moving coil galvanometers, due to their high sensitivity, form the basis for many electrical
measuring instruments:
Ammeters
By connecting a low resistance shunt in parallel to the galvanometer, it can be converted into
an ammeter to measure larger currents.
Voltmeters
Connecting a high resistance in series with the galvanometer converts it into a voltmeter to
measure potential differences.
Other Applications
Galvanometers are also used in control systems, bridge circuits, and laser systems to detect
small currents and light signals.
Building a Simple Galvanometer
In the class activity, we will be building a basic galvanometer model using simple materials like a
compass, a coil of wire, and a battery. This will provide a practical understanding of how the
interaction between a current-carrying coil and a magnetic field leads to deflection,
demonstrating the fundamental principle of a moving coil galvanometer.
Practice Questions

What is the significance of a radial magnetic field in a galvanometer?
How does the number of turns in the coil affect the sensitivity of a galvanometer?
Describe how you would convert a galvanometer into (a) an ammeter, (b) a voltmeter.

Additional Notes
• Remember: The moving coil galvanometer is a testament to the power of understanding
fundamental physics principles and applying them to create sensitive and versatile
instruments. Its impact on science and technology is immense, underpinning our ability
to measure and control electrical currents with precision.
• Keep Exploring: The world of electromagnetism is full of fascinating phenomena. Keep
asking questions, exploring, and deepening your understanding!
Narration 1: Exploring the moving coil galvanometer
Introduction & Recap (10 minutes)
Alright everyone, let's get started! Remember how we've been exploring the fascinating world
of magnetic fields and their influence on moving charges? Today, we're going to take it a step
further and discover how this interaction is cleverly used in a device called a moving coil
galvanometer. But before we dive into that, I want you to quickly jot down what you remember
about the motor effect. What is it, and why is it significant? (Pause for students to recall and
note down). Now, keep that in mind as we move forward because the moving coil
galvanometer we're about to learn about actually utilizes this very effect for measurement
purposes!
Unveiling the Mechanism: How Does It Work? (15 minutes)
Now, let's take a closer look at the heart of the matter - the construction of a moving coil
galvanometer. Imagine a coil, yes, a simple coil of wire, delicately placed within the embrace of
a magnetic field. This coil is the heart of our galvanometer. Now, when an electric current flows
through this coil, something interesting happens. The magnetic field, like an invisible hand,
exerts a force on the current-carrying coil, causing it to rotate. This rotation isn't random; it's
directly proportional to the strength of the current passing through. To make this rotation
visible and measurable, we attach a pointer to the coil. As the coil rotates, so does the pointer,
moving along a calibrated scale. And voila! That's how the galvanometer cleverly translates the
invisible force into a measurable reading, giving us a way to quantify the electric current.
Hands-On Challenge: Building Our Own Galvanometer (10 minutes)
Time to put our learning caps on and get those hands dirty! Today, we're going to transform
into inventors and build a basic galvanometer model ourselves. Don't worry; it's not as daunting
as it sounds! I've divided you into groups and provided each group with a kit containing simple
materials – magnets, a coil of wire, a battery, and some connecting wires. Your challenge is to
use these materials and try to create a simple setup that demonstrates the principle of a
galvanometer. Remember, the key is to observe what happens when you change the direction
of the current or alter the strength of the magnet. Does it affect the coil's deflection? Let's find
out!
Decoding Sensitivity and Real-World Applications (10 minutes)
Let's now talk about a crucial aspect of a galvanometer - its sensitivity. In simple terms,
sensitivity refers to how responsive our galvanometer is to even the slightest changes in
current. The more sensitive it is, the smaller the current it can detect. Now, what factors do you
think can influence this sensitivity? (Pause for students to brainstorm). You're absolutely right!
The number of turns in the coil, the strength of our magnetic field, and even the stiffness of the
spring play a vital role. Let's delve deeper into how each of these factors affects the sensitivity.
(Explain each factor). Now, that we understand its workings, where do you think we use such a
device? Turns out, galvanometers are the backbone of many measuring instruments we use
daily, like ammeters and voltmeters!
Wrapping Up and Looking Ahead (5 minutes)
Let's quickly recap what we've learned today. We explored the fascinating world of moving coil
galvanometers, understanding how they cleverly use the interaction between magnetic fields
and electric currents to measure current strength. We even got our hands dirty building a basic
model ourselves, experiencing firsthand how this simple yet ingenious device functions. Now,
for a quick assessment of your understanding, I'm going to hand out a short quiz. Don't worry;
it's not about right or wrong answers but about how much you've grasped. As we move
forward, we'll delve deeper into the quantitative aspects of galvanometers, learn how to
convert them into ammeters and voltmeters, and explore their significance in various electrical
circuits and measurements. Keep those thinking caps on, and I'll see you all in our next class!
