Magnetism
Natural magnets were observed by Greeks more than 2500
years ago in “Magnesia” (northern Greece)
certain type of stone (lodestone) exert forces on similar
stones
Small lodestone suspended with a string aligns itself in
a north-south direction due to Earth’s magnetic field!

The Magnetic Force
What happens if you put a charged particle in a magnetic field?

R
Force is always ⊥ to velocity and B.
Path will be a circle. F is the centripetal force needed to keep
the charge in its circular orbit. Let’s calculate radius R:

If a magnetic field acts on one charged particle, what about
many charges flowing through a wire - a current?
