Extractions: Electromagnetism, Relativity, and Maxwell a draft by David Jefferies 18th August 2000 revised 29th September 2000 see also http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/D.Jefferies/emant.html Charge is mysterious. We know it comes in two sorts, distinguished by the labels "positive" and "negative". We might just as well call it "Tom" and "Jerry". The behaviour of charge is summarised by the two facts that Unfortunately, the early investigators assigned positive charge to the static ions, and that left negative charge for the mobile electrons. Thus, a stream of electrons travelling to the right actually represents a positive "current" or "charge flow" to the left. The "inverse square law" means that the repulsive force between two "Toms" falls to a quarter of its original value each time the distance between the "Toms" is doubled....and the attractive force between a single "Tom" and a single "Jerry" likewise falls to a quarter every time the distance between them is doubled. If we suddenly put two Toms together and some distance away there is a single Jerry, [notwithstanding the fact that we might question whether the two Toms would repel each other so much that they would fly apart,] the pair of them instantaneously attract the single Jerry with twice the force that just a single Tom would.

Extractions: 5 Electromagnetism 5.1 Magnetism So far we have discussed the forces between charges which are at rest with respect to each other. When charges are moving relative to each other they exert an additional force, the magnetic force. This force, as we will see later, plays a negligible role in inter atomic and intermolecular bonding. However, the effect of magnetic fields on atoms and molecules is used widely in all manner of spectroscopies, and we will need to appreciate magnetic behaviour in order to understand the interaction of light and other electromagnetic radiation with atoms and molecules. 5.1.1 The Lorentz Force Magnetic materials were discovered well before the electrostatic effects of rubbing amber. The magnetic iron oxide, magnetite, was mined in Asia Minor well before the birth of Christ, indeed by about 100 BC the Chinese had already discovered that such minerals would align with the north and south poles. By the beginning of the 19th Century it was known that such bar magnets would repel if like poles were facing each other and attract if the poles were of the opposite sense, and the similarities with the behaviour of electric charges had for some time interested scientists of the time. They made the following observations * the force is proportional to the magnitude and sign of the charge on the particle * the force is proportional to the velocity of the charged particle * the force is proportional to the magnitude of the magnetic field * the magnitude of the force depends on the relative orientation between the line of flight and the direction of the magnetic field

Extractions: This is the idea that magnetism can travel from one object to another even though they are insulated. An example of how magnetic induction is used is in transformers. Two coils of wire are wrapped around an iron core. The primary coils are connected to the power supply while the secondary coils are connected to the device. An electromagnetic field is created from the primary coils and this induces a magnetic field in the core. This in turn induces a current in the secondary coil. The number of coils is proportional to the amount of voltage, so a transformer is used to increase or decrease the voltage. secondary voltage secondary turns
Oersted, Hans (1777-1851) -- From Eric Weisstein's World Of Scientific Biography
Short article about the discovery of electromagnetism.

Extractions: Danish physicist and philosopher who, in 1819, discovered the deflection of a compass needle while performing a demonstration for his students. This discovery of a fundamental connection between electricity and magnetism rocked the scientific community and led to a flurry of activity in electrodynamic research by such investigators as and Arago . After all, the magnetism produced by a current would generate a force. Forces are capable of producing motion, so motion could come about which would lead to a current While this is not a conservation law, it is a statement about the fundamental interconvertibility of natural phenomena. It it is often stated that Oersted's was completely accidental and spontaneous. That contention is, however, misleading. Oersted had studied Naturphilosophie under Schelling himself, and wholeheartedly adopted the view that nature is systematic and unified. (He also thought that the practice of science is a religion.) The fact that he should be seeking a connection between electricity and magnetism was motivated entirely because of his prior philosophical conviction that one must exist. After all, only someone looking to find a connection between

He also discusses static electricity and invents an electric fluid which is liberated by rubbing. ca. 1620 - Niccolo Cabeo discovers that electricity can be repulsive as well as attractive.

Extractions: Centuries ago, it was discovered that certain types of mineral rock possessed unusual properties of attraction to the metal iron. One particular mineral, called lodestone , or magnetite , is found mentioned in very old historical records (about 2500 years ago in Europe, and much earlier in the Far East) as a subject of curiosity. Later, it was employed in the aid of navigation, as it was found that a piece of this unusual rock would tend to orient itself in a north-south direction if left free to rotate (suspended on a string or on a float in water). A scientific study undertaken in 1269 by Peter Peregrinus revealed that steel could be similarly "charged" with this unusual property after being rubbed against one of the "poles" of a piece of lodestone. Unlike electric charges (such as those observed when amber is rubbed against cloth), magnetic objects possessed two poles of opposite effect, denoted "north" and "south" after their self-orientation to the earth. As Peregrinus found, it was impossible to isolate one of these poles by itself by cutting a piece of lodestone in half: each resulting piece possessed its own pair of poles: Like electric charges, there were only two types of poles to be found: north and south (by analogy, positive and negative). Just as with electric charges, same poles repel one another, while opposite poles attract. This force, like that caused by static electricity, extended itself invisibly over space, and could even pass through objects such as paper and wood with little effect upon strength.

In polarisable matter, relationship between E and D is generally non linear, namely D f E ). In most cases, f will admit a serie expansion in a neighborood of 0, yielding : Except when dealing with extremely high fields or with ferroelectric substrates (like KDP, baryum titanate, Seignette salt), there is no need to use non-linear terms in the previous expansion.

Extractions: The Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell, b. Nov. 13, 1831, d. Nov. 5, 1879, did revolutionary work in electromagnetism and the kinetic theory of gases. After graduating (1854) with a degree in mathematics from Trinity College, Cambridge, he held professorships at Marischal College in Aberdeen (1856) and King's College in London (1860) and became the first Cavendish Professor of Physics at Cambridge in 1871. Maxwell's most important achievement was his extension and mathematical formulation of Michael Faraday's theories of electricity and magnetic lines of force. In his research, conducted between 1864 and 1873, Maxwell showed that a few relatively simple mathematical equations could express the behavior of electric and magnetic fields and their interrelated nature; that is, an oscillating electric charge produces an electromagnetic field. These four partial differential equations first appeared in fully developed form in Electricity and Magnetism (1873). Since known as Maxwell's equations they are one of the great achievements of 19th-century physics. Maxwell also calculated that the speed of propagation of an electromagnetic field is approximately that of the speed of light. He proposed that the phenomenon of light is therefore an electromagnetic phenomenon. Because charges can oscillate with any frequency, Maxwell concluded that visible light forms only a small part of the entire spectrum of possible electromagnetic radiation.

Extractions: In the previous two projects, we stole high voltage from a television set to power our high voltage motors. In this project we will build a device that can generate 12,000 volts from an empty soda can and a rubber band. The device is called a Van de Graaff generator. Science museums and research facilities have large versions that generate potentials in the hundreds of thousands of volts. Ours is more modest, but is still capable of drawing 1/2 inch sparks from the soda can to my finger. The spark is harmless, and similar to the jolt you get from a doorknob after scuffing your feet on the carpet. To build the toy, you need: An empty soda can A small nail A rubber band, 1/4 inch by 3 or 4 inches A 5x20 millimeter GMA-Type electrical fuse (such as Radio Shack #270-1062) A small DC motor (such as Radio Shack #273-223) A battery clip (Radio Shack #270-324) A battery holder (Radio Shack #270-382) A styrofoam cup (a paper cup will also work) A hot glue gun (or regular glue if you don't mind waiting) Two 6 inch long stranded electrical wires (such as from an extension cord) Two pieces of 3/4 inch PVC plumbing pipe, each about 2 or 3 inches long

On this page: Wikipedia Mentioned In Or search: - The Web - Images - News - Blogs - Shopping Classical electromagnetism Wikipedia Classical electromagnetism Classical electromagnetism is a theory of electromagnetism that was developed over the course of the 19th century , most prominently by James Clerk Maxwell . It provides an excellent description of electromagnetic phenomena whenever the relevant length scales and field strengths are large enough that quantum mechanical effects are negligible. The electromagnetic field exerts the following force (often called the Lorentz force) on charged particles: where all boldfaced quantities are vectors F is the force that a charge q experiences, E is the electric field at q's location, v is q's velocity, B is the strength of the magnetic field at q's position, and c is the speed of light. This description of the force between charged particles, unlike Coulomb's force law , does not break down under relativity and in fact, the magnetic force is seen as part of the relativistic interaction of fast moving charges that Coulomb's law neglects.
