Lecture brief

Historical brief

Coulomb, Gauss, Ampère, Faraday and Maxwell (1861–65) unified charge, current and light. The lab computes fields, induction, Poynting flux and the electromagnetic wave in SI. This sheet (EMG-25 — Lorentz force) is the form associated with Lorentz force. Working symbols: $q$ , $v$ , $B$ $\rightarrow$ $F$ . Perpendicular qvB. Pedagogical SI sheet with a live model and a swept parameter.

Purpose

Purpose: compute

F

from

q

v

B

in Electromagnetism via

F=qvB

Perpendicular qvB. Use it when a real electromagnetism question must be answered in SI before a code check.

Live realistic example

In symbols

Live case. Given

q = 1.000\,\mathrm{e}

v = 100000.000\,\mathrm{m/s}

B = 0.200\,\mathrm{T}

, the governing relation

F=qvB

yields

F = 0.003\,\mathrm{pN}

. One governing identity, SI units, a single sweep on the sheet. Move a slider: the numbers are this situation, not a canned story.
