    Introduction Magnetism is a physical phenomenon produced by moving electric charge that results in attractive and repulsive forces between objects. It is one aspect of the combined electromagnetic force and shares many similarities with electricity, which is why they are usually thought of together as electromagnetism. Magnetic Fields and Magnetic Force Magnetic fields are a…

    Introduction A magnetic field is a vector field that describes the magnetic influence of electric charges in relative motion and magnetized materials. The magnetic field at any given point is specified by both a direction and a magnitude (or strength), so it is a vector field. Magnetic Force on a Moving Charge The force exerted…

    Introduction The Zeeman Effect, named after the Dutch physicist Pieter Zeeman, is the splitting of a spectral line into several components in the presence of a static magnetic field. It is a key phenomenon in atomic physics and quantum mechanics that illustrates the interaction between magnetic fields and the magnetic moments of atoms. Understanding the…
