Lecture

Force Between Parallel Conductors

Description

This lecture introduces the calculation of the force between two parallel conductors carrying currents, explaining how the magnetic field produced by one conductor affects the other, and how to calculate the force using Lorentz's law. The direction and magnitude of the force are determined by the orientation of the currents and the magnetic fields, leading to an attraction between the conductors in regions where the magnetic field is weaker, aiming to minimize energy.
