  • Chapter 18: The Magnetic Field of a Moving Charge

    18.1 Introduction In this chapter, we will discuss the magnetic field produced by moving charges, such as electrons and ions, and how it affects the motion of other charged particles. Understanding the magnetic field of a moving charge is essential for various applications, including the design of particle accelerators and the analysis of plasma behavior…

  • Biot–Savart Law

    Introduction The Biot–Savart Law is a fundamental principle in electromagnetism that describes the magnetic field generated by an electric current. Named after physicists Jean-Baptiste Biot and Félix Savart, the law provides a mathematical description of the magnetic field in terms of the current source that produces it. Statement of the Biot–Savart Law The Biot–Savart Law…
