NEET UG Physics Notes – Magnetism & Moving Charges (Set 9)

Magnetism and Moving Charges is a high-concept and moderately numerical chapter in NEET UG Physics. It combines ideas from electricity and motion, focusing on how moving charges create and experience magnetic fields.


1. Magnetic Force on Moving Charge

A charged particle moving in a magnetic field experiences a force.F=qvBsinθF = qvB \sin\thetaF=qvBsinθ

Key Points:

  • Force is maximum when θ=90\theta = 90^\circθ=90∘
  • Force is zero when motion is parallel to field
  • Direction given by Fleming’s Left-Hand Rule

2. Lorentz Force

When both electric and magnetic fields are present:F=q(E+v×B)F = q(E + v \times B)F=q(E+v×B)

Understanding:

  • Combines electric and magnetic forces
  • Important in velocity selector and charged particle motion

3. Motion of Charged Particle in Magnetic Field

Case 1: Perpendicular Motion

  • Circular path

r=mvqBr = \frac{mv}{qB}r=qBmv​T=2πmqBT = \frac{2\pi m}{qB}T=qB2πm​

Case 2: At an Angle

  • Helical path

Important Insight:

  • Magnetic force does no work
  • Only changes direction, not speed

4. Cyclotron

A device used to accelerate charged particles.

Cyclotron Frequency:

f=qB2πmf = \frac{qB}{2\pi m}f=2πmqB​

Principle:

  • Charged particle moves in circular path under magnetic field
  • Electric field accelerates it

5. Magnetic Field Due to Current

Biot-Savart Law:

Gives magnetic field due to a current element.

Straight Wire:

B=μ0I2πrB = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}B=2πrμ0​I​

Circular Loop (Center):

B=μ0I2RB = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R}B=2Rμ0​I​


6. Ampere’s Circuital Law

Bdl=μ0I\oint B \cdot dl = \mu_0 I∮B⋅dl=μ0​I

Use:

  • To find magnetic field in symmetric systems:
    • Solenoid
    • Toroid

7. Magnetic Field in Solenoid

B=μ0nIB = \mu_0 n IB=μ0​nI

Where:

  • nnn = turns per unit length

Key Feature:

  • Field inside is uniform
  • Outside is nearly zero

8. Force Between Parallel Currents

  • Same direction → Attraction
  • Opposite direction → Repulsion

Formula:

FI1I2rF \propto \frac{I_1 I_2}{r}F∝rI1​I2​​


9. Magnetic Dipole

A current loop behaves like a magnetic dipole.

Magnetic Moment:

M=IAM = IAM=IA

Torque on Dipole:

τ=MBsinθ\tau = MB \sin\thetaτ=MBsinθ


10. Magnetic Field Lines

Properties:

  • Form closed loops
  • Outside magnet: North → South
  • Inside magnet: South → North
  • Never intersect

11. Earth’s Magnetism

  • Earth behaves like a giant magnet
  • Has magnetic poles different from geographic poles

Key Terms:

  • Magnetic declination
  • Magnetic inclination (dip)

12. Velocity Selector

Uses crossed electric and magnetic fields.

Condition for straight motion:

qE=qvBv=EBqE = qvB \Rightarrow v = \frac{E}{B}qE=qvB⇒v=BE​


13. Magnetic Materials

Diamagnetic:

  • Weakly repelled
  • Example: Bismuth

Paramagnetic:

  • Weakly attracted

Ferromagnetic:

  • Strongly attracted
  • Example: Iron

14. Magnetic Permeability

μ=μ0μr\mu = \mu_0 \mu_rμ=μ0​μr​

Unit:

  • Henry/m (H/m)

15. Magnetic Susceptibility

χ=MH\chi = \frac{M}{H}χ=HM​

Key Point:

  • Dimensionless quantity
  • Indicates how material responds to magnetic field

16. Important NEET Concepts

Must Remember:

  • F=qvBsinθF = qvB \sin\thetaF=qvBsinθ
  • r=mv/qBr = mv/qBr=mv/qB
  • B=μ0I/2πrB = \mu_0 I / 2\pi rB=μ0​I/2πr
  • B=μ0nIB = \mu_0 n IB=μ0​nI
  • τ=MBsinθ\tau = MB \sin\thetaτ=MBsinθ

17. Common Mistakes

❌ Confusing electric force with magnetic force
❌ Forgetting magnetic force does no work
❌ Wrong direction using Fleming rule
❌ Mixing formulas of electric and magnetic fields


18. Quick Revision Tips

  • Magnetic force changes direction, not speed
  • Circular motion formula is frequently asked
  • Solenoid and loop formulas are very important
  • Focus on direction-based questions

Conclusion

Magnetism is a concept + formula-based chapter. NEET questions are mostly:

  • Direct formula application
  • Direction-based
  • Conceptual

If you master:

  • Lorentz force
  • Circular motion
  • Magnetic field formulas
  • Current loops & solenoids
