Homework Statement
A charge moving with constant velocity, does it create a constant magnetic field or varying 1??
Help me pleasezlep11 said:What do you think?
The relationship between moving charges and magnetism is described by the Lorentz force law, which states that a moving charge will experience a force when placed in a magnetic field. This force is perpendicular to both the direction of the charge's movement and the direction of the magnetic field.
Magnetism is created by the movement of electric charges. When charged particles, such as electrons, move, they create a magnetic field around them. The strength and direction of this magnetic field is determined by the speed and direction of the moving charges.
A permanent magnet is made of a material that is naturally magnetic, such as iron or cobalt. These materials have their own magnetic field that does not require an external source of electricity. An electromagnet, on the other hand, is created by passing an electric current through a coil of wire, which generates a magnetic field. When the current is turned off, the magnetic field disappears.
The strength of a magnetic field decreases with distance from the source. This is described by the inverse-square law, which states that the strength of a magnetic field is inversely proportional to the square of the distance from the source. This means that as the distance from the source doubles, the strength of the magnetic field decreases by a factor of four.
The magnetic force on a moving charge is directly proportional to the velocity of the charge. This means that as the velocity of the charge increases, the magnetic force also increases. However, the direction of the force is always perpendicular to the direction of the charge's velocity, so changing the speed or direction of the charge will also change the direction of the magnetic force.
