Document Summary

, s moving electric charge is what responds to magnetic fields. 26. 2 magnetic force s field we want to explore the behavior of an electric point charge q in a field if the charge is at rest. , nothing happens but if it"s moving , it experiences a magnetic force. Qv x b ( t ) electricity. S magnetic forces are distinct if they "re present simultaneously , a charged particle experiences an electric force. Fe - q e and a magnetic force the result is an electromagnetic force : f = Current an electric current consists of charges in motion. So a current in a magnetic field should experience a magnetic force magnetic force on a current. X b the force is perpendicular to both the current. Origin of the magnetic field how do moving electric charges produce magnetic fields. Law of current the contribution gives db = toy idexrnr.
