vector forces field

Newton's second law of motion gives a quantitative definition of force. Impulse Mathematical representation of Newton's second law of motion is or When the time of application of force is short then Ft is defined as impulse. Impulse is a large force acting for a s..

Force Acting on a Current-Carrying Conductor in a Magnetic Field - Oersted's experiment shows that a current carrying wire exerts a force on a magnetic needle and deflects it from its usual north-south position. The reverse must also be true, which was proved by the Fr..

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 field and the force..

Dipole in an external field Consider a permanent dipole of dipole moment 'p' in a uniform external field E, which implies that p does not depend E nor it is induced due to E. The force on q is qE and on -q is -qE and net force on dipole is zero. H..

Magnetic field is a region near a magnetised body where magnetic forces can be detecte..

Magnetic Fields and Field Lines - If a small compass needle is placed at a point near the north pole of a bar magnet, the needle turns round on its pivot and settles in a fixed direction as shown in figure. At other points away from the pole the needle settles tangent to the ..

> If the scales selected for the representation of three vectors are the same, then, three equal vectors are represented by three arrows of equal lengths, pointing in the same direction. If, however, the scales chosen are different, then, it is possible to represent equal v..

It was mentioned earlier that, displacement vectors are added to displacement vectors, or velocity vectors are added to velocity vectors. Just as it is meaningless to add scalar quantities of different kinds, such as mass and temperature, so also it is ..
