Relationship between density of energy and magnetic force

[ash misty]

What is the relationship between density of energy stored in a magnetic field and the magnetic force?

 

[DEvens]

F = q v X B

Homework: Look up the energy density of a magnetic field.

 

[ash misty]

The energy of a density field is ((B_0)^{2}) / (2\mu). I am looking for a direct formula as such linking these two. Let's say I have the value for density of energy, how can we find the magnetic force?

Solve the energy density for B. Then substitute that into the expression for F. Note, you will only be able to solve for the magnitude.
