Lecture

Magnetostatics: Lorentz Force and Magnetic Field

Description

This lecture covers the concept of the Lorentz force and magnetic field, explaining how a charged particle in motion near a magnet or current-carrying wire experiences a force. It delves into the definition of the magnetic field, the behavior of the field around a current-carrying wire, and the concept of magnetic permeability. The lecture also explores the trajectory of a charged particle in a magnetic field, discussing cases of uniform and non-uniform magnetic fields. Additionally, it touches on the superposition principle for magnetic fields and the work done by the Lorentz force. The presentation concludes with a detailed analysis of the trajectory of a charged particle moving in a magnetic field.
