CHAPTER 4 Magnetostatic Fields The preceding chapter introduced the concept of an electric field on the basis of {he observation that an electri charge brought into the vicinity of other charges experiences a force. It can similarly (experimentally) be demonstrated that a Gurrent clement wil experience a force if itis brought into a region containing another current. Such a region of forces is termed a region of magnetic field Another source of a magnetic field is the permanent magnet Because the ‘magnetic field is measured by the forces between current-carrying conductors Just asthe electri field is measured by forces between charges (Chap 3), we now proceed to formulate the laws that will enable us to determine these foress and hence the corresponding magnetic ficlds, 4a Ampére’s Force Law In Chap. 3 we saw how Coulomb's law ca stationary distributions of charges, This field.

From (16) we have $e a= sega timoB= Bye, andl dla, (20) Notice from (20) that the line integral of a static magnetic flux density around any given closed path must equal the product of ig and the total current enclosed by that path. The preceding is a statement of Ampére’s circuital law. Notice that this law is somewhat analogous to Gauss’ law of electrostatics. Equation (20) may be more formally written as Grat= [tds rot en where J is the current density penetrating the surface s (Fig 49). Regarding the line integral, (21) is valid regardless ofthe path of integration, 1 or 2 in Fig. 49, fand the sign convention for the current is that the current is positive if it advances like a right-hand screw rotated in the direction of the path of integration. The directions shown in Fig. 49 correspond to the positive sense Before considering the derivation of Ampére's crcuita law, let us consider an example of its application and discover some new concepts EXAMPLE 4.5 A straight conductor of eylindrical cross section and of radius a carties a current J, which is uniformly distributed over the conductor cross section.

In Sec. 4.6 we will investigate magnetic fields in magnetic materials. Ferrous materials such as iron are common examples of such materials, We will find that magnetic ‘materials support bound currents, J,, in addition to free currents, J, which we have previously considered. These bound currents give rise to magnetic dipoles jjust as bound charges give rise to electric dipoles in dielectries. We will also find that the source of H is free current, whereas the source of B (mote properly Ba) is current of both types, J + J, In this context, an analogy may be drawn between electric and magnetic lields, wherein E and Bare duals and D and H are duals with regard to their sources. However, in terms of similarity in units, we might infer a duality between E and H and between D and B. In material media other than free space, we will find that B and H are also ‘lated, and this relationship will be written as where V is the del oper We may now apply t ” express Ampére's circuit, Bee en For the sake of illustrate where jis said to be the permeability of the material. However. for magnetic and (28) we get materials, this relationship is typically more complicated than the relationship between D and Ein dielectric materials. 1is typically a nonlinear relation (and, ia in some cases, anisotropic), so that B = iH is only a symbolic relation, and jis not a simple, scalar constant, For magnetic materials we will be able to modify these previous results, derived for free space, in a rather straightforward fashion ‘We will learn more about the magnetic properties of materials in See. 46, The magnetic flux density may also be defined as the force on a conductor which is carrying unit current and which is oriented at right angles to the flux lines. Although from such a definition we do not gain any additional insight beyond that contained in the Biot-Savart law or in Ampére's force law, this alternative definition enables us to determine the force on a current-carrying conductor located in a magnetic field, as we shall see in Sec. 49.

In order to go from the integral to the differential form, we used the concept of divergence. To accomplish a similar transformation of Ampére's circuital law from the integral to the differential form, we usc the vector operation —curl, introduced in Chap. 2. Recall that the curl is defined in terms of a line integral around an infinitesimal path and the area enclosed by the path: curl F = tim & Ea (28) We might also refer to (28) as the circulation per unit area as the area tends to zero (ot shrinks to a point), the orientation of the area being such that the Sirculation is a maximum, As in Ampére’s circuital law, the line integral in (28) is taken in the right-hand sense for positive unit normal a,.

Potentials in Magnetostatics Tn our diseussions so far, we have defined the static magnetic field, identified the sources that produce magnetic fields, and formulated mathematical expressions that relate fields to sources, Thus, using the Biot-Savart law or Ampére’s law, we were able to find the magnetic field at a point for a given current. We can also use the coneept of “potentials” to evaluate the fields in a region. In fact, the use of potential functions offers a very powerful method of solving both static and dynamic electromagnetic field problems (as demonstrated in later chapters). We were introduced earlier to the scalar potential to determine the static electric field. As we will see in the next subsections, in determining the static ‘magnetic fields we may use both scalar and vector potentials. By scalar and vector potentials, we mean that the potential could be respectively a scalar or a vector quantity. Why both are feasible and where these are applicable are now discussed 4.5.1 Magnetic Scalar Potential Let us consider a source-free region, for which (33) becomes vx | 17145.

The quantity F is called the magnetic scalar potential From (36) we also have? F.-F, ~ [neat Gn In (36) and (37) F has the dimension of amperes, For most practical cases, the ampere-turn (abbreviated At) is frequently used as a unit for F. As a potential fise or source of magnetic field, the term magnetomotive force, or mm, is often used for (37), and potential drop is expressed as a reluctance drop, as we shall sce in the study of magnetic circuits in See, 410. To establish another useful property of the magnetic scalar potential, we observe that over a closed surface s Ya= Gf Beds =0 68) Where iq is the magnetic flux. This relationship is true because in a region of ‘magnetic flux lines, if we consider a closed surface, the ux entering the surface ‘must all come out, magnetic monopoles being nonexistent. Recall that (38) is analogous to Gauss’ law of electrostatics for a source-free region. In a region containing a charge, the electric fux lines will terminate on the charge, But no physical magnetic quantity is analogous to an isolated electric charge. Magnets have pole pairs called north and south poles, and we do not have a magnet that has either a north or a south pole. Equation (38) can be expressed in the differential form by using the divergence theorem. Thus, we have Beis [orp 0) ‘This shouldbe clear by direct analogy tothe electrostatic Bld in which 172 Magnetostatic Fields In (39) the integrand must be zero, and dv not being zero, we must have V-B=0 (40) But, substituting (27) in (40) yields =0 ab and combining (36) and (41), we obtain V-H=V-(-V5) = —v°F = 0 Or, finally, VF =0 @) This is Laplace's equation for the magnetic scalar potential in a source-free region. As we shall sce in Chap. 10, in many problems of practical interest we can first solve Laplace's equation for the potential function, from which we ean then obiain the desired field quantitics by the use of the defining equation, such as (36). 4.5.2 Magnetic Vector Potential In the preceding discussion we considered a source-free region for which we Gerived the magnetic scalar potential in order to study the magnetic field in the region. We were able to derive (36) by virtue of (34), which is a curl equation valid only if J = 0. If we now consider the divergence equation (40), which is valid everywhere in a region (with or without sources), and use the vector idemtity V-V x A= 0, we may write B=VxA (3) where A is known as the magnetic vector potential. Here, we wish to point out that although A has a physical significance, we will be beticr off by considering Aas a concept in the intermediate step in obtaining the magnetic field than by wondering about the physical meaning of A. For the time being, we might as well treat (43) as a mathematical operation, Writing Ampére’s law in terms of B, we have Vx B= jgd (4a) in free space having a source of current density J. Now taking the curl of both sides of (43), we get (soe Appendix A) VxVxA=W(V-A)—VA=VxB 43) 173 45. Potentials In (43) no restriction constraint on A such restriction for conver with (43).

Clearly, if the region is source-free, J = 0, and (46) reduces to Laplace's equation WA=0 “ I Having established the fact that A satisfies (46) in free space containing a ‘current density J, and (47) in a current-free then use (43) (o find the magnetic lux density, The process is illustrated by the following example. gion, we may solve these for A and EXAMPLE 4.7 In a certain region the magnetic vector potential is given by A= ke *sinaxa,, where k and 2 are constants, Find B, This form of a magnetic vector potential may be produced by a current sheet having a linear density (A/m) of sinusoidal va Solution From (43) we have Baa, + Ba, = ‘Therefore, knowing that 4, = ke™® sin ax, we obtain B = hae (in a2 a, + C08 2x a,) The magnetic vector potential is related to the current by (46).

The retentvity, or remanent magnetism, is expressed by B, in Fig 420, which also shows the coercive force ~H,. The area OB,H,O under the curve measures the effectiveness of the magnet. Magnetic circuits containing permanent magnets usually also contain ferro- ‘magnetic parts and airgaps. In such a circuit, the operating condition of the permanent magnet depends a great deal on the external magnetic circuit. Furthermore, the operating point and subsequent performance of the magnet are determined by the physical installation of the magnet and whether it is ‘magnetized before or after installation. In designing a magnetic circuit contain ‘ng a permanent magnet, we make use of the demagnetization curve (Fig. 4.20) and of the energy-product curve, which isa plot of the product of B and H versus 194 Magnetostatic Files FIGURE 420 Second-quadrant 6-1 characteristic ofa permanent magnet H. A permanent magnet is generally most efficiently used when operated at : conditions of B and HT that result in the maximum energy product. The concept ; of leakage factor, which is the ratio of magnetic flux leaving the magnet to the ; flux in the airgap, is very useful in designing magnetic circuits with permanent ‘magnets. But this factor is calculated by relatively cumbersome empirical formulas that are not included here. In other words, we shall neglect leakage fields in our discussions If we neglect leakage, the magnetic circuit calculations are fairly straightfor- ward. Consider a simple magnetic circuit containing a permanent magnet (shown in Fig. 4.21) for which we have, from Ampére's law, (105) where Hf is the magnetic field intensity of the magnet, is the length of the ‘magnet, //, is the field intensity across the airgap, I, is the length of the airgap, and §; is the magnetic potential drop in the iron portion of the circuit, The ‘magnet dimensions are found from (108) and from Ua =BA= BA, (206) sectional area ies. For a first, where B isthe flux density of the magnet and where A is the cross- of the magnet.

Thus, solving for H in terms of B, (105) and (106) yield Al, 7 ~ Are 107) which is plotted as the straight line OP in Fig, 420. Neglecting the effect of leakage, the volume Vof the magnet can be expressed in terms of the airgap dimensions as BAA, y — Bally 108: va eA, (108) which is obtained by combining (105) to (107), and with mentioned earlier, the volume of the magnet is a minimum for a given airgap when the energy product BH isa maximum. We now illustrate the procedure for ‘magnet-size calculations by the following example. EXAMPLE 415 The magnetic circuit of Fig, 4.21 uses an alnico V magnet having the B-H characteristic shown in Fig. 422.

Thus, an alternative method of determining the inductance of a circuit is obtained by equating the energy stored in the inductance to the corresponding energy stored in the magnetic field, This point can be illustrated by considering the configuration of Fig, 4.24 First, we know from electric circuit theory that W, the energy stored in an inductance L, carrying a current I, is given by any cy But, for the given problem, Heal = (n= Nr ™ or = as) T and the volume of the core is dala (16) ‘Therefore, (113) to (116) y 200.

Mechanical Forces of Electromagnetic Origin: A Further Discussion In Sec. 49 we saw that interactions between magnetic fields and current- carrying conductors result in the production of mechanical forces. Thus, we formulated the Lorentz force equation. Another magnetic field effect resulting in ‘a mechanical force is alignment of flux lines. Examples of “alignment” are shown in Figs, 4.28a and b. In Fig, 4.28a the force on the ferromagnetic pieces ‘causes them to align with the flux lines, thus shortening the magnetic flux path ‘and reducing the reluctance. Figure 4285 shows an clementary form of a reluctance motor, in which the force tends to align the rotor axis with that of the stator. Quantitative evaluation of such a force can be made by following a procedure similar to that of See, 3.13.

Similarities with clectrostatic fields were shown as far as possible, We introduced the concept of magnetic fields through Ampére’s force law. On this basis, we formulated the Biot-Savart law. We studied Ampére's circuital law and saw that in certain cases the field calculations ‘are much simpler by Ampére’s law than by the Biot-Savart law. Next, we ‘considered the use of potential functions, such as the magnetic scalar and vector potentials, in evaluating magnetic fields. We saw that in source-frec regions both potentials satisfy Laplace's equation. With the aid of the definition of the ‘magnetic vector potential, we derived Ampére’s circuital law. We discussed the boundary conditions for magnetic fields, and we briefly discussed certain macroscopic properties of magnetic materials. In this connection, we introduced properties such as magnetic polarization, susceptibility, and relative permeabi- lity, Finally, we discussed the topics of force and energy in magnetic fields. We introduced the idea of a magnetic circuit, and magnetic circuit calculations were Presented for magnetic circuits having ferromagnetic materials, permanent ‘magnets, and air. Inductance was defined, various methods of its evaluation Were presented, the relationship between the field concept H and the circuit concept L was shown, and an alternative form of force production in a magnetic field was considered.
