    Introduction Static electricity is a phenomenon where electric charges build up on the surface of a material, typically an insulator or a non-conductor of electricity. This accumulation of charge remains in one area rather than moving or flowing away, thus termed as ‘static’. The effect is usually caused by friction, where contact between surfaces results…

    Introduction The Lorentz Force is a fundamental concept in electromagnetism, describing the force experienced by a charged particle moving in an electromagnetic field. It is named after the Dutch physicist Hendrik Lorentz who first derived the force law. Definition and Equation The Lorentz Force on a charged particle is given by the vector sum of…
