Chapter 28 Magnetic Fields Charges create electric field, and electric field creates forces on charges. Moving charges create magnetic field, and magnetic field creates forces on moving charges. When we did electric field, for each step we needed a way to find the direction and a formula to find the magnitude. For magnetic field, for each step we need a way to find the direction and a formula to find the magnitude. This chapter is about finding the magnetic force created by the magnetic field. The next chapter is about finding the magnetic field created by the moving charges. The equation for magnetic force is Fu qd t a - Because it is a vector equation, this equation contains both the magnitude and direction information. We dont typically use the vector equation. Instead, the magnitude of the magnetic force is Fn sin - lqlrB @ where d it the angle between the velocity of the moving charge and the magnetic field. When lots of charges are moving in a current, the magnetic force a the wire is Fn : iLB sin @ where Z is the length of the wire. Then we need to find the direction of the magnetic force. The magnetic force on a moving charge is always perpendicular to the magnetic field and is always perpendicular to the velocity of the charged particle. Imagine a proton moving out of the page in a magnetic field that points left to right. Is there any direction that is perpendicular to both out of the page and right at the same tim
