- Biot-Savart law: dB = (μ_{0}/4π)(I dl sinθ / ); direction by right-hand rule (dl × r̂); magnetic analogue of Coulomb's law
- μ_{0} = 4π × 10^{-7} T·m/A; dimensional formula [MLT^{-2}$$A^{-2}]; B has [MT^{-2}$$A^{-1}]
- Infinite straight wire: B = μ_{0}I/(2πd); concentric circles; right-hand thumb rule for direction
- Circular loop centre: B = μ_{0}NI/(2R); increases with N and I, decreases with R
- Circular loop axis: B = μ_{0}N/[2(+)^(3/2)]; at x=R: B = B_centre/(2√2)
- Solenoid: B = μ_{0}nI inside (uniform); n = N/L; B ≈ 0 outside; depends on n not N
- Toroid: B = μ_{0}NI/(2πr) inside ring; B = 0 in hollow core AND outside
- Ampere's law: ∮B·dl = μ_{0}I_enc; use only with high symmetry
- Lorentz force: F = qvB sinθ; ALWAYS perpendicular to v; does ZERO work; changes direction not speed
- Circular path: r = mv/(qB); [L] = m; radius depends on velocity
- Time period: T = 2πm/(qB); [T] = s; DOES NOT depend on velocity (most tested NEET fact)
- Cyclotron frequency: f = qB/(2πm); velocity-independent
- Helical path: when v has both parallel and perpendicular components to B; pitch = v_∥ × T
- Force on conductor: F = BIl sinθ; direction: F = Il × B
- Parallel wires: F/l = μ_{0}/(2πd); same direction → attract; opposite → repel
- Definition of 1 A: current producing N/m between two infinite wires 1 m apart
- Torque on loop: τ = NIAB sinθ = MB sinθ; magnetic moment M = NIA; []
- Galvanometer → Ammeter: shunt S = I_gG/(I − I_g) in PARALLEL; R_eff very low
- Galvanometer → Voltmeter: series R = V/I_g − G; R_eff very high
- Diamagnetic: χ < 0; μᵣ < 1; repelled; Cu, Bi, ; temperature-independent
- Paramagnetic: χ > 0 small; μᵣ slightly > 1; weakly attracted; Al, ; Curie law χ = C/T
- Ferromagnetic: χ >> 0; μᵣ >> 1 (up to 10^{5}); Fe, Co, Ni; domains; hysteresis
- Retentivity: residual B at H = 0 (y-intercept of hysteresis loop)
- Coercivity: reverse H to bring B to 0 (x-intercept of hysteresis loop)
- Curie temperature: Fe = 770°C; Co = 1115°C; Ni = 358°C; above this → paramagnetic
