Study Notes
Magnetism and Magnetic Fields
- Magnetism refers to the phenomenon of magnets producing a magnetic field that can attract certain materials.
Causes of Magnetism
- According to Georgia State University's Hyper Physics website, magnetism arises from the interaction of electric currents and the intrinsic magnetic moment of electrons.
Force on Charged Particles in Magnetic Fields
- The force acting on an electrically charged particle in a magnetic field is determined by the Lorentz force equation.
- The Lorentz force exerts a force on charged particles in a magnetic field, affecting their motion.
