Lecture
This lecture covers the concept of magnetostatics, focusing on the magnetic field generated by steady currents and the additional force it exerts. It delves into Maxwell's equations, magnetic field lines, the Lorentz force, Ampère-Laplace law, and various applications of magnetic fields in mass spectrometry and other fields. The historical experiment by Oersted, demonstrating magnetic fields from currents, is also discussed. The lecture concludes with an overview of experimental observations related to magnetic fields and forces.
