Chapter Notes PDF

Electrostatics and magnetism are important concepts. Charged particles behave differently in electric and magnetic fields. Moving charged particles are deflected by perpendicular electric fields but traverse circles through perpendicular magnetic fields. The Lorentz force equals the cross product of the magnetic field and velocity. Parallel wires with current in the same direction attract due to an attractive Lorentz force between them.

@ Lorentz Force
A Lorentz force equal to ILB exists between the two wires. It is an attractive force when the currents are in the
same direction. Had the currents been in opposite directions, then the force would have a repelling force.
