Electromagnetism: Forces in a Magnetic Field
Cards in this deck (8)
- 1Force on current-carrying conductor in magnetic fieldF = ILB
- 2Reason for force occurring on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic fieldThe conductor has a magnetic field around it, which interacts with the magnetic field it is placed in, and this creates a force
- 3Thumb in left hand ruleDirection of force
- 4First finger in left hand ruleDirection of magnetic field
- 5Second finger in left hand ruleDirection of current
- 6Force on a charged particle moving through a magnetic fieldF = qvB
- 7Forces between currentsIf 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
- 8Amperethe 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
Information
- 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.
