Electromagnetism: Forces in a Magnetic Field

Description

This flash card deck outlines the force on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field, the force on a charged particle in a magnetic field, and the forces between currents. It is best used in conjunction with the note on forces in a magnetic field and the mind map on electromagnetism.

Question Answer
Force on current-carrying conductor in magnetic field F = ILB
Reason for force occurring on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field The conductor has a magnetic field around it, which interacts with the magnetic field it is placed in, and this creates a force
Thumb in left hand rule Direction of force
First finger in left hand rule Direction of magnetic field
Second finger in left hand rule Direction of current
Force on a charged particle moving through a magnetic field F = qvB
Forces between currents If two current-carrying conductors are placed in close proximity to one another, they will exert a force on one another due to their magnetic fields
Ampere the steady current which, if maintained in two straight parallel conductors of infinite length, of negligible cross section and placed one metre apart in a vacuum would produce a force on each conductor of 2 × 10*-7 newtons per metre of length
