2. INTRODUCTION
Magnetic materials & non-magnetic materials
Magnetic field produced by a current in a coil of wire
An atom should act like a magnet (with each electron charge of 1.6 X 10-19 C)
Circles the atom once in about 10-16 s……
Current (A) = Charge (C) / Time (s)
Current = (1.6 X 10-19 ) / (10-16 ) = 1.6 X 10-3 A
Magnetic field produced by an electron in an atom is often cancelled by an
oppositely revolving in the atom

The field due to spinning motion is generally stronger than the field due to
orbital motion
Magnetic / non-magnetic material & spinning of electrons
Classification of magnetic materials is done on the basis of orientation of
electron spin
The behavior of magnetic materials can be understood
4. BIOT-SAVART’S LAW
Biot-Savart’s law states that the magnetic flux density dB or magnetic field
strength dH at a point due to a current element I dL is given by,

5. AMPERE’S CIRCUITAL LAW
Ampere’s circuital law states that the line
integral of magnetic strength H along any
closed path is exactly equal to direct
current enclosed by the path

6. MAGNETIC FLUX DENSITY & MAGNETIC FLUX
In magnetic field, the principle quantities are magnetic field intensity H &
magnetic flux density
B = μ H
μ = μ0 μr
Magnetic flux density can be defined as flux passing through the per unit area

7. MAGNETIC DIPOLE
Dipole moment
The vector direction of dipole moment
Dipole moment pm = current in the loop X area of loop
