Relationship between magnetism and electricity

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the mathematical relationship between magnetism and electricity, specifically focusing on constants involved in their equations. Key equations mentioned include Coulomb's Law, F = BIL, and F = Bvq, which incorporate variables such as force, charge, velocity, and distance. Participants express uncertainty about how to establish a clear relationship and seek guidance on which constants and equations to prioritize. The conversation emphasizes the need to explore physical constants that arise in both electricity and magnetism.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Coulomb's Law
  • Familiarity with the equations F = BIL and F = Bvq
  • Knowledge of electromagnetic field equations
  • Basic grasp of physical constants in physics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the role of the permeability of free space (μ₀) in electromagnetism
  • Study the significance of the permittivity of free space (ε₀) in electric fields
  • Explore the Lorentz force law and its implications for electricity and magnetism
  • Investigate the relationship between electric fields (E) and magnetic fields (B) in electromagnetic waves
USEFUL FOR

Students studying physics, educators teaching electromagnetism, and anyone interested in the fundamental principles connecting electricity and magnetism.

Homework Statement


Show the mathematical relationship between magnetism and electricity by looking at constants


Homework Equations


I have several equations but in don´t really know which one I have to use and I don´t see any big similarities except that there is force, charge, velocity and distance involved. I have no idea what I have to do.


The Attempt at a Solution


I tried to play a little bit with Coulomb's Law and the equation F=BIL and F=Bvq but I don´t know that that´s what he wants the realtionship for.


Since you guys probably know what my teacher wants, maybe you could give me some help to start. I don't know where I have to find a relationship. Do I have to look at the field-equetions and the force or maybe B or E?

I'm not really sure what your teacher wants, but the question does say to look at constants, not necessarily equations.

So what physical constants come up in electricity and magnetism, in the various equations?
