SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the behavior of electrons in magnetic fields, specifically addressing the Lorentz force and its implications. Users clarify that the Lorentz force is a fundamental aspect of electromagnetism, influencing charged particles regardless of their spin. The conversation also distinguishes between moving through a magnetic field and being stationary in a changing magnetic field, emphasizing that these scenarios are not equivalent. Additionally, the relationship between gravity and magnetic fields is briefly explored, noting that magnetic fields possess energy that interacts with gravitational forces.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Lorentz force and its role in electromagnetism
  • Familiarity with Faraday's Law of electromagnetic induction
  • Basic knowledge of classical mechanics and charged particle dynamics
  • Concept of energy as an interaction term in gravitational contexts
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Maxwell's equations to understand the foundation of electromagnetism
  • Explore the implications of relativity on electromagnetic theory
  • Investigate the relationship between magnetic fields and gravitational fields
  • Learn about the behavior of charged particles in varying electromagnetic environments
USEFUL FOR

Physics students, electrical engineers, and researchers interested in electromagnetism and the dynamics of charged particles in magnetic fields.

I can't get it imy head why are electrons set in motion in magnet fild - that changes, or why do they move in not strait motion in stady magnetic fild.
I know about Lorentz force, but i don't know why, and why that specific direction?

I've tryed to correlate it to electrons magnetic fild and spin, but i haven't ended with conclusion, i just need an explanation.

Plus to me, moving through magnetic fild (conducter like in generators), do not seems same as standing still, and changing magnetic fild ?

p.s. what is particle that carries magnetic fild ? Photon maybe, but it can't be it goes in non starit lines (certainly not photon I'm seening when I'm looking in this screen :) )

p.s.s. does gravitation attratcts magnetic field ?

Faraday's Law.

Lorentz force. Don't confuse it with Faraday's law.

The Lorentz force is a fundamental (as far as I know) characterization of nature. Almost as fundamental as 3 extended spatial dimentsion, or something like that. This is assuming you are wondering why electromagnetism exists, that is, why charge interacts with the electromagnetic field.

Perhaps you mean, why is there a vxB term in the Lorentz force law? Well, that is a consequence of invariance. Relativity explains away most of the mysterious character of electromagnetism, i.e. it composes Maxwell's equations into 2 instead of 4, and the Lorentz force is just a result of a Lorentz boost on the Coulomb force. Of course, there will always be a "why?" in the back of your head, if you are fundamentally curious.

In the classical theory, the dynamics of charged particles are governed by the Lorentz force regardless of whether or not they have spin.

If someone has told you that these two phenomena are identical, then don't listen to them.

Well, let me ellaborate with the most obvious counterexample. Moving through a constant magnetic field can be transformed to the rest frame in which the magnetic field will still not appear to change in time. So, how can that be equivalent to being stationary in a magnetic field that <i>is</i> changing in time?

I don't understand what you're asking here.

Sort of. The magnetic field has energy. Energy is an interaction term for gravitation.
