Key Topics to Revise

1

Magnetic Force and Lorentz Force

  • Magnetic force acts only on moving charges, not on stationary charges
  • Magnetic force is always perpendicular to both velocity and magnetic field
  • Magnetic force does no work as it's perpendicular to motion
2

Motion of Charged Particles in Magnetic Field

  • Circular motion when v ⊥ B with constant speed
  • Helical motion when v has components both ∥ and ⊥ to B
  • Radius of circular path is directly proportional to momentum
3

Magnetic Force on Current-Carrying Conductors

  • Force on current-carrying wire is sum of forces on individual moving charges
  • Force is perpendicular to both current direction and magnetic field
  • No force when current is parallel to magnetic field
4

Biot-Savart Law

  • Gives magnetic field due to a current element
  • Field is proportional to current and inversely proportional to r²
  • Field direction is perpendicular to both current element and position vector
