Magnetic effects
Section 1: Magnetic Fields
Introduction:
A moving charge or a chain of moving charges create a magnetic field around their path (velocity vector). Magnetic field is a vector so it has a magnitude and a direction. In introductory physics courses, we use some mathematical equations to find the magnitude of a magnetic field and right-hand rule for positive and electric current and left-hand rule for negative charges to find the direction of the magnetic field.
where
is the magnitude of the magnetic field,
is the permeability of the medium in henries per meter (H/m).
