Electromagnetic force increasing/decreasing

NooDota · Jul 25, 2015

The electromagnetic force F = I*L*B * SinΘ will increase based on the value on SinΘ.What's the physical explanation for this? Why does the angle between vectors B and IL matter?

Dr. Courtney · Jul 25, 2015

Because there is a cross product between B and V (vectors) when computing magnetic force on moving particles.

Particles moving parallel to a magnetic field do not experience a magnetic force.

Oh, right. I should have known that.
