magnetic force on charged particles

4) For charges of opposite sign the force acts in a direction opposite to that of positive charges..

Introduction - The branch of physics which deals with magnetism due to the electric current is called electromagnetism. For a long time it was hard to believe if there existed a relation between electricity and magnetism. Hans Christian Oersted observation made a discovery demon..

Lorentz Force - The force experienced by a charged particle moving in space where both electric and magnetic field exist is called lorentz force. The lorentz force is therefore the vector sum of force due to electric fi..

It can be either attractive or repulsive. It can be the force between two magnets or force on a magnet placed in a magnetic field..

A moving charge in a magnetic field experiences forces. An electric current in a conductor is due to drifting of free electrons in a definite direction in the conductor. When such a current carrying conductor is placed in a uniform magnetic field, each free e..

Pushes or Pulls are very general names given to forces. A physicist is much more precise when describing forces acting on a body using terms like weight, frictional force, tension, normal reaction force, electrical force, magnetic ..

Magnetic lines of force form closed continuous curves. Outside the body of the magnet, their direction is from north to south pole. The tangent to these lines at any point gives the direction of the magnetic field at that point. No two lines can in..

Mapping of Magnetic Lines of Force - A pictorial representation that gives the direction of the magnetic field at various points in a magnetic field is called a map of the magnetic field Let us now map the magnetic field by using a compass..
