Asking about something that I read on electromagnetic force

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the derivation and application of the Faraday force equation, specifically F = (1/2B) * (dB/dt) * m * v, which describes the force acting on charged particles in a changing magnetic field. The equation incorporates variables such as the magnetic field strength (B), the mass of the particle (m), and its velocity (v). The context provided illustrates how this force arises from the induced electromotive force (emf) in a circular path of a charged particle, emphasizing the relationship between changing magnetic fields and the resulting electric forces.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electromagnetic theory, specifically Faraday's law of induction.
  • Familiarity with the concepts of magnetic fields and charged particle dynamics.
  • Knowledge of basic calculus, particularly derivatives related to changing magnetic fields.
  • Experience with particle motion in electromagnetic fields.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the implications of Faraday's law in electromagnetic induction.
  • Study the Lorentz force law and its applications in charged particle motion.
  • Explore the relationship between induced emf and electric fields in varying magnetic fields.
  • Investigate the applications of the Faraday force in particle accelerators and plasma physics.
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, electrical engineers, and students studying electromagnetism or particle physics will benefit from this discussion, particularly those interested in the dynamics of charged particles in magnetic fields.

TL;DR
read a paper related to electromagnetic force and it mentioned a force i didnt heard before
Hello All:

read a paper related to electromagnetic force and its applications in acceleration of charges particles , some thing came up in it , they drive a force applied on the particle called Faraday force = [1/2B]* [dB/dt]*m*v

B magnetic field , m mass of the particle , v the velocity of the particle

i couldnt find any reference to this force , and didnt help notice the momentum of the particle in the equation
do any one have references about this force

Here's a scenario where the force equation ##F =\frac 1 {2B} \frac{dB}{dt} mv## arises.

Suppose there is a uniform B field in a region of space and there is a particle of mass ##m## and charge ##q## that circles the magnetic field lines with speed ##v##. The figure is drawn for positive ##q##. For nonrelativistic speeds of the particle, the radius of the orbit is determined to be $$r = \frac{mv}{qB}.$$ There is a flux of magnetic field through the circular path equal to $$\Phi = B \pi r^2.$$ If ##B## starts changing at a rate ##\frac{d B}{dt}##, then there will be an induced emf in the path of the particle equal to $$\varepsilon =\frac{d \Phi}{dt} = \frac{dB}{dt} \pi r^2.$$ The emf is due to an induced electric field ##E## and the direction of ##E## at the location of ##q## will be in the direction of ##\vec v## if ##B## is increasing in strength. The relation between ##\varepsilon## and ##E## is $$\varepsilon = E \cdot 2 \pi r.$$ Thus, there will be an accelerating electric force on the charge given by ##F = qE##.

If you put all of these relations together, you find that the accelerating force is ##F = \frac 1 {2B} \frac{dB}{dt} mv##.
