Hall Effect
If an electric current flows through a conductor in a magnetic field, the magnetic field exerts a transverse force on the moving charge carriers which tends to push them to one side of the conductor. ...
Magnetic Flux
Magnetic flux is the product of the average magnetic field times the perpendicular area that it penetrates.
Charged particle motion in uniform magnetic field (2D)
The site allows the path of a charged particle to be tracked through a magnetic field perpendicular to the screen.
Tape Recording
When a magnetized tape passes under the playback head of a tape recorder, the ferromagnetic material in the tape head is magnetized and that magnetic field penetrates a coil of wire which is wrapped ...
Magnetic field induction experiment -pt 2
An interactive version of Faraday's magnetic field induction experiment.
Lorentz Force Law
Both the electric field and magnetic field can be defined from the Lorentz force law. The electric force is straightforward, being in the direction of the electric field if the charge q is positive, ...
Biot-Savart Law
The Biot-Savart Law relates magnetic fields to the currents which are their sources. In a similar manner, Coulomb's law relates electric fields to the point charges which are their sources.
Magnetic field Demonstration in a current loop
The site demonstrates the effect of a magnet field when introduced on a conducting wire.
