CHARGES AND CURRENTS IN MAGNETIC FIELDS







Torque on a loop of current in a uniform magnetic field!


The direction and magnitude of the torque on a loop can be found just by crossing the vector magnetic moment into the vector magnetic field.







One of Faraday's early "proof of concept" motors!







THIS CHAPTER MIGHT SEEM TO BE COMPLETELY FULL OF “RIGHT HAND RULES”! Make sure you understand each one, and do not mix up or confuse them!!  The rules fall into two main categories, namely rules that give the force on a moving charge or current in a magnetic field, and rules that give the direction of the magnetic field created by moving charges, or currents.
