What is a Magnetic Field? (Electromagnetism – Physics)

If you have studied or are studying physics, or even if you are just a physics fan, you must have already met magnetic fields, and more than once! These show up a little everywhere: of course in electrical sciences, but also in planetology, astrophysics, medical physics, analytical chemistry, and many other subjects. At school and in Uni, you have been taught how to manipulate them mathematically, and how they are an intricately involved in today's technology (motors, generators, transformers etc…). But do you actually know what they truly are physically? For example, could you explain it to a young student that encounters magnetic fields for the first time in physics class ? That is the exercise I attempted with this video First, we review what you learned in high school, starting with a simplified version of Ampere’s law: an electrical current generates a magnetic field that curls around it. We also discuss how a magnetic field affects the path of a moving charge. In a second section, we take a brief turn in order to observe one of the consequences of Einstein theory of special relativity: Length contraction. The third section puts everything together and draws a coherent picture of the nature of a magnetic field. And in a conclusion, we realise that a magnetic field emerges from the combination of electrical theories and special relativity. And of course all is spiced up with reflections on how historically, magnetic fields took such a predominant place in modern science.

No, it doesn’t. The reason is that for a current to flow in a circuit, the circuit needs to be closed, i.e. in a loop: relatively to the motion of the moving charge, the current needs to flow in the opposite direction in another section of the circuit : Imagine a moving charge q magnetically affected by a current going from left to right in section A of the circuit. The charge will also see a current flowing from right to left in another section of the circuit (let’s call it section B). For charge q, section B will have charged densities reversed compared to section A. On the other hand, it might not be magnetically affected that much, because that effect depends on spacial distance (inversely proportional). Overall, charge is conserved wether the observer is moving or not. - - - - - - - - Credits : The script, the illustrations, the music and the video were produced and presented by Edouard Reny, Ph.D. in solid state chemistry and private tutor in Physical Sciences.
