Current in a Magnetic Field

Define
1. Magnetic Flux Density
2. The Tesla
3. The Ampere
4. The Coulomb
State
1. Fleming's left hand rule
2. Unit of magnetic flux density
3. The factors on which the size of the force on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field depends
Recall that
1. A current carrying conductor experiences a force when placed in a magnetic field
2. The direction of the force is perpendicular to the current and magnetic field
3. The size of the force is directly proportional to the current, length of the conductor and strength of the magnetic field.
4. Current carrying conductors exert forces on each other due to their magnetic fields
5. A charged particle moving in a magnetic field experiences a force
  1. A charged particle moving perpendicular to a magnetic field moves in a circle
Describe an experiment to show:
1. The force on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field
  1. The forces on a current carrying coil in a magneticfield
    1. That current carrying conductors exert forces on each other
      1. The principle on which the definition of the ampere is based
List
1. Three practical applications of the force on a current carrying coil in a magnetic field
Formulae
1. F=IlB
2. F=qvB
3. F = mv^2/r
Derive
1. F=qvB
