Magnetic Force
Introduction The magnetic force is the force exerted between magnetic fields and moving charged particles. When a charged particle moves through a magnetic field, it experiences a force perpendicular to both its velocity and the magnetic field. The equation for the magnetic force on a charged particle is given by: where: Magnetic Force on Current-Carrying…

Lorentz Force
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…
