Magnetism
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…

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…

Magnetic Field
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…

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…
