Lesson 2.01 Intro to Field Theory
Unit 2 - Fields
Fields: A region of 3-D space in which a _____________________ or quantity, such as a ____________________, may be distributed.
Ex:
Objects with mass set up ______________________ fields which affect other objects with mass. Objects with electric charges set up _____________________________ fields which affect other objects with charge.
Objects with magnetic properties set up ____________________________ fields which affect certain bodies. (Magnetic or ferrous materials)
Gravitational Fields: A region of space that affects ________________________.
We use field lines (vectors) to denote the ____________________ and ___________________ of the field.
The direction of a gravitational field is always ___________________________ which creates the field.
Close together field lines represent ____________________ fields, spread out field lines are a weaker field.
__________________ Field (lines close together) Weak Field (lines _______________ apart) __________________ Field (lines parallel)

Imagine dropping a __________________________ at various points around the earth. What direction would the mass take?
We can use ______________________________________________________________ to determine the force between any two masses.
We use a shortcut, g = 9.80 N/kg, and this is the ______________________________________. It shows how strong the field is at a particular point.
Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation says that as you get farther away, the gravitational force decreases, but never

Lesson 2.02 – Static Electricity
Electrostatics: (p. 527)
The study of electric forces and fields where the charges are ________________________ rest. Balloons, spray painting, shocks, grounding, carpets, bbq starters are all examples.
Features of the electric field:
It can __________________________________
It can act through a _____________________________ (outer space)
It is ______________________________________ than the gravitational force It acts as an ________________________________________ (more later)
The Atom:
Protons, p+, electrons, e- , and neutrons n. The p+ and n are ____________________ in the nucleus and never move, while the e orbit the nucleus in ________________________________ or shells and are freer to move around. We will represent negative charges as (-) and positive charges as (+).
neutral objects + objects - objects equal number p+ and e- deficit of e- surplus of e
-In their natural state, most objects start off neutral
Protons never move. Electric charge is always caused by a surplus (extra) or deficit of (not enough) e.
Law of Electric Charges:
- Opposite charges attract each other - Like charges repel each other
- Charged objects will sometimes attract neutral ones
Electroscope: (p. 529)
An electroscope is any object that will allow us to detect electric charge. If there is a surplus of charge, the leaves will move apart.
Page 6 of 79
Creation and Transfer of Electric Charge
Since all objects begin neutral, we must have some way of creating a charged object. There are three ways, friction, contact, induction
Charging by Friction:
Rub two neutral objects together e- transfer from one to the other based on their affinity for electrons. Charge is determined by an electrostatic series. (see pg. 530)
*Ex. Fur and ebonite rod. (The total # of e does NOT change, they are just moved around) Draw below.
Charging by Contact:
- Touch a charged object off an uncharged one.
Charging by Induction:
- Bring a charged object near, but not touching an uncharged one. - This causes a local charge distribution.
- Ground out the uncharged object (ground merely means provide a path for electrons) - Remove the ground
- Remove the object
*need to remove the ground FIRST if not excess charge bleeds out
Page 8 of 79
2. Local Charge Separation
3. Provide a path for the electrons to leave
4. Remove the ground first
Remove the rod last. Otherwise, the object will return back to a having no charge (neutral.)
Ex. How does a balloon that is rubbed against your head gain charge, and then
stick to the wall? Explain with reference to
charging by friction

Lesson 2.03: Electrical Discharge
Electrical Discharge:
An excess of either charge means that the electrons will experience a force of repulsion.
In a lightning strike the charge separation (e removed from p) means that there is a
tremendous force either pushing e out from a negative cloud, or pulling e in to a positive cloud.
If the force is large enough, a discharge will occur across the intervening gap.
The purpose of a lightning rod is not to attract lightning, but rather to prevent the________________ from happening in the first place.
Charge Distribution:
Charge is not uniformly distributed around pointy objects.
In fact, there is no charge inside a hollow charged object, all the charge resides on the surface. This is why you are safe in a car in a lightning storm. All the charge resides on the surface of the car.
Conductors and Insulators:
Conductors are materials that _________the transfer of e through them. Metals such as Cu, Ag, Au
Insulators ___________the flow of e (they do not stop it altogether). Most non - metals.
Page 14 of 79
Charge is measured in Coulombs (C.) The elementary charge is given by:
_______________________
This charge is the same for electrons and protons, but for e it is negative, and for p it is positive.
Total charge is given by:
Where: Q = N = e =
* Remember that this will give you the total charge, you must determine the sign based on whether you have a surplus or deficit of electrons.
A Coulomb is a massive amount of charge; a lightning strike typically only releases 20 C or so. We will more commonly use microCoulombs (μC) or nanoCoulombs (nC) where:
1.0 μC = __________ 1.0 nC = __________

Work-Energy Theorem:
Work and energy are the same thing. The work you do on something W measured in joules (J)
gets converted into Energy E, measured in joules (J).
We can store energy in a charge by doing work on it to separate it from an opposite charge.
In _________________________, as you do work on a mass and move it higher in a gravitational field it stores more energy.
Likewise, as you do work on a charge to move it “higher” in an electric field it also stores more energy. The “levels” you move the charge through are called ______________________.

2.19 Current Carrying Conductors
Artificial Magnetic Fields - Electromagnetism:
Hans Christian Oersted experimented with current carrying conductors in the early 19th century and discovered one of the most important discoveries of the time. Previously the areas of
electricity and magnetism were thought to be separate, but he found that they were both different sides of the same phenomenon - namely ______________________.
Oersted’s Principle
Charge moving through a straight conductor produces a _____________ magnetic field around the conductor. The field is represented by ________________ rings around the conductor.
Left Hand Rule #1(LHR#1)
:
Grasp conductor with left hand such that the thumb is pointing in the direction of current flow. The curved fingers point in the direction of the magnetic field.
Page 60 of 79
Does Oersted's Principle help us understand magnetic fields?
Moving charges create magnetic fields, so perhaps the movement of electrons inside a substance creates a magnetic dipole?
Paramagnetic Materials
Electrons are spinning in their orbitals, so any electrons which are _______________create a small magnetic field around the atom.
Paramagnetic substances are _____________ attracted to magnets. ex: oxygen
Diamagnetic Materials
When the ________ of electrons are spinning in _______________directions the magnetic fields will cancel.
These materials are actually ________________by a magnetic field and are called
Diamagnetic.
Many superconductors become diamagnetic at ___________ temperatures. ex: Yttrium barium copper oxide
Ferromagnetic Materials
When there are ______________________ electrons and they spin in the ____________ direction, they will tend to align nearby electrons as well.
This produces the ______________ magnetic field observed in ferromagnetic substances. ex: Magnetite

Magnetic Field around a coiled conductor (solenoid):
When a straight wire is coiled it forms a _________________. This is also called an
__________________.
Inside and outside the coil, the fields reinforce each other, displaying field lines that resemble a bar magnet. There is a LHR to allow us to find the north pole of this induced magnetic field.
Left Hand Rule #2 (LHR #2)
Grasp the coil with the left hand such that the fingers curl in the direction of the current. The thumb will point towards the north end of the electromagnet. (see p. 636)
Factors affecting the strength of an electromagnet:
Current in the coil: The _________ the current flow the ____________ the field strength
# of turns in the coil: More coils means more ________________________
Size of the coil: Smaller diameter coils have ____________ field strength
Type of material in the centre: More ferromagnetic substances make better centres. This is the measure of the _____________________________________ (μ).
Magnetic Permeability (μ):
The ratio of the magnetic field strength of the electromagnet with core compared to the
electromagnet without the core. The best cores are metals such as soft iron, steel, permalloy (see fig 15.3 p. 637)
Applications of Electromagnets:
Electromagnets are better than permanent magnets because they can be turned off when not needed.

2.21 The Motor Principle
The Motor Principle
Electromagnets are extremely versatile because they can create a magnetic field that can be varied in force or direction or even shut off. When two different magnets interact, a force of __________________ or _______________________ occurs.
“When two magnetic fields interact they produce a force. If a current-carrying conductor cuts through a uniform magnetic field, it experiences a force directed at 90° to both the direction of charge flow and to the uniform external magnetic field.”
An _____________________ is a device designed to continuously provide a magnetic force in a particular direction.
ElectricKinetic = ___________________ ChemicalKinetic = _________________
Page 66 of 79
Left Hand Rule #3 (LHR #3) The motor principle:
Open the left hand so that the fingers point in the direction of the permanent magnetic field, from north to south. Rotate the hand so that the thumb points in the direction of the electron flow.
The resultant force on the wire will come out of the palm of the hand.
Magnetic Field Strength

a) perpendicular to the field b) at an angle of 30° to the field c) parallel to the field

2.22 Biot’s Law
Biot's Law
The magnetic field around a straight conductor will be determined by: (i) current (I)
(ii) magnetic permeability (μ)
(iii) perpendicular distance away from wire (r) Mathematically this is called Biot’s Law:
Where: B: ____________________________ : _____________________________ I: ______________________________ r: ______________________________
What happens if we have two wires? Since Magnetic Field Strength is a vector, we must calculate both fields separately and then use vector addition.

2.23 Moving Charges in a Magnetic Field
The Unit for Electric Current
Recall that previously the Ampere was defined as 1.0 C per 1.0 s. This is an easy unit to
visualize, but it is very hard to actually measure the flow of charge, because it is moving so fast. The operational definition of the Ampere is based in the interaction of magnetic fields
created by current carrying conductors.
“One Ampere is the current flowing through two parallel conductors, placed 1.0 m apart in air, that exert a force of 2.0 x 10-7 N/m on each other for each metre of their length.”
Magnetic Force on Moving Charges
As we have already seen, a moving charge will create its own______________________. This moving charge need not be bound by a _______________; a stream of electrons will be deflected by a magnet in your television or computer monitor to hit the screen and create an image.
The magnetic force on an individual moving charge is given by:
Where: F: ____________________________ q: ____________________________ v: ____________________________ B: ___________________________
: ___________________________
*note that F, v, and B are all vectors
As with conductors, the force is strongest when the particle is moving ________________, and
zero when it is moving _________________ to the magnetic field. The direction of the deflection can be determined by use of the LHR #3.
Recall that the LHR only applies to _______________ charges, and that the result we obtain must be the __________________ if the charged particles are positives.
Ex1: A magnetic field of strength 0.30 T emerges from the page (represented by the dots). An electron enters the field with a velocity of 6.0 x 106 m/s [right].

Induction and Faraday’s Discovery:
“A magnetic field that is moving or changing intensity near a conductor causes or induces electron flow in the conductor”
- Michael Faraday
Moving the magnet in and out continuously causes the current to move back and forth continuously in what is called an ________________________________.
Key ideas from Faraday’s Iron Ring Experiment:
1. The primary coil becomes an _________________ which induces current in the secondary coil 2. Once the magnetic field is established, there is ______________ current induced, until the field collapses.
3. When the field collapses the induced current appears again, just flowing in the ______________ direction.
4. There must be ___________________ movement between the magnetic field and the conductor to induce current flow.

As we recall, the electron flow, magnetic field, and force must all be at ___________________ to each other, so we can use the rule to determine the direction of flow in a conductor that is pulled through a permanent magnetic field, as long as we realize that the magnetic force must always oppose the applied force! (The universe hates you)
Ex: Pull wire down through field Pull wire out through vertical field
Lenz’s Law and Induced Current:
A moving magnet will induce a current in a conductor. But a current (like the one we just induced) will create a magnetic field. How do these two magnetic fields (induced and inducing) interact?
“The Direction of the induced current creates an induced magnetic field that opposes the motion of the inducing magnetic field”
Examples: Sketch Diagram 16.5 p. 672.
Which way will current be induced in these solenoids?
1. Use Lenz’s Law to determine what pole is necessary to oppose the motion of the bar magnet. 2. Use LHR #2 for solenoids to predict the direction of current flow.

2.26 Generating Electricity
Electrical Generators
Faraday's discovery, along with Lenz's Law, allow us to construct a practical device to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy.
This device is called an _____________________.
Generators consist of a __________________, a_________________, and some means of making one of them _____________ relative to the other.
All generators do this...no matter what the fuel source is that powers them.
DC Generators have a device called a ____________________which re-reverses the current flip. The resulting current graphs of both AC and DC generators are shown:
An increase in frequency of the __________________________ (rotor) will increase not just the output frequency of the signal, but also the ___________________ output.
An increase in ____________________________ of armatures (rotors) will give more sinusoids. This is how a real generator deals with the zero voltage issue of a single coil generator.
The generator has a ________________________, T which is the time for one complete rotation. More usually generators are represented by __________________________, f, which is number of rotations per second.
