This lecture covers the applications of the Lorentz force, focusing on the cyclotron, an accelerator for charged particles. It explains the circular motion of particles in a uniform magnetic field, the force of Lorentz, and the acceleration voltage. The lecture also discusses the interaction between current-carrying wires and magnetic fields, the Hall effect, and the transverse voltage induced in a metallic sheet. Emphasis is placed on the forces acting on particles, the trajectory they follow, and the resulting effects of the magnetic field.
