Understanding the force on a moving charge in a magnetic field

Magnetic fields exert forces on moving charges. This force is one of the most basic known. The direction of the magnetic force on a moving charge is perpendicular to the plane formed by v and B and follows right hand rule
With this skill you will learn
  • Describing the effects of magnetic fields on moving charges
  • Using the right hand rule
  • Calculate the magnetic force on a moving charge
  • Understanding Force Between Two Current-carrying Wires
