This lecture covers the measurement of magnetic fields in Tesla, the impact of magnetic fields on human bodies, the use of magnetic fields in MRI, the production of high magnetic fields using copper conductors and superconductors, the concept of magnetic force on moving charges, the application of magnetic forces in material science, and the analysis of charges moving in a magnetic field using the cyclotron motion. The instructor demonstrates the manipulation of electron trajectories in a vacuum chamber using a magnetic field, explains the concept of cyclotron motion, and discusses the mass spectrometer's principle of discriminating masses based on the radius of charged particle orbits.
