    The Lorentz force in the MKS and CGS measurement systems

    Hi there! I have a problem deriving the formula for the Lorenz force that I found in my lecture notes in Theoretical Mechanics. The formula is: \vec{F}=q \cdot \vec{E} + \frac{q \cdot (\vec{v} \times \vec{B})}{c} Where: \vec{F} is the Lorentz force \vec{E} is the electric...

    Lorentz Force Reaction: Exploring Newton's 3rd Law in Classical Demonstration

    In classical Lorentz force demonstration, let's say we have 2 permanent magnets generating a magnetic field perpendicular, out from the page and a wire carrying current to the left. Thus we would expect that the Lorentz Force will exert an upward force on the wire. According to Newton's 3rd...
