For electrons, the influence of a magnetic field is governed by the Lorentz force, which alters their trajectory and enables ...

When currents in wires run parallel, the wires attract due to the magnetic fields from the currents and the Lorentz force. The currents can also be run anti-parallel, making the wires repel. Place the ...

Here's a bit of background: When an electric current flows through a metal sample in a magnetic field, it experiences the Lorentz force. This force generates a voltage perpendicular to the ...

It doesn’t, really. The wire vaporizes into plasma, and if the pulse is fast enough, the Lorentz force hold the plasma together. The rest is non-trivial high-voltage engineering. The original ...

In a tokamak, D-shaped electromagnets are arranged in a ring around a central column, producing a circulating (toroidal) magnetic field. This exerts a force (the Lorentz force) on the positively ...

Maxwell's equations, uniting electric and magnetic fields from charges and currents, form the foundation of electromagnetism alongside the Lorentz force formula. An important prediction of Maxwell ...
