Lorentz force is applied to how the weapon projectile ... The weapon’s name doesn’t just serve as flavor, but is a simplified demonstration of a foundation of electricity and magnetism.

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 ...

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 ...

The demonstration of quantized spin splitting ... to separate the spin states of charged particles due to the Lorentz force, as well as to the insufficient and uncontrollable field gradients.
