Asking about something that I read on electromagnetic force

In summary, the conversation discusses the concept of Faraday force, which is an accelerating force applied on a charged particle in a magnetic field. This force is derived from the equations for the induced emf and electric field in a changing magnetic field, and can be expressed as F = (1/2B)(dB/dt)mv. The conversation also mentions the importance of references for this force.

TL;DR Summary
read a paper related to electromagnetic force and it mentioned a force i didnt heard before
Hello All:

read a paper related to electromagnetic force and its applications in acceleration of charges particles , some thing came up in it , they drive a force applied on the particle called Faraday force = [1/2B]* [dB/dt]*m*v

B magnetic field , m mass of the particle , v the velocity of the particle

i couldnt find any reference to this force , and didnt help notice the momentum of the particle in the equation
do any one have references about this force

Best

Here's a scenario where the force equation ##F =\frac 1 {2B} \frac{dB}{dt} mv## arises.

Suppose there is a uniform B field in a region of space and there is a particle of mass ##m## and charge ##q## that circles the magnetic field lines with speed ##v##. The figure is drawn for positive ##q##. For nonrelativistic speeds of the particle, the radius of the orbit is determined to be $$r = \frac{mv}{qB}.$$ There is a flux of magnetic field through the circular path equal to $$\Phi = B \pi r^2.$$ If ##B## starts changing at a rate ##\frac{d B}{dt}##, then there will be an induced emf in the path of the particle equal to $$\varepsilon =\frac{d \Phi}{dt} = \frac{dB}{dt} \pi r^2.$$ The emf is due to an induced electric field ##E## and the direction of ##E## at the location of ##q## will be in the direction of ##\vec v## if ##B## is increasing in strength. The relation between ##\varepsilon## and ##E## is $$\varepsilon = E \cdot 2 \pi r.$$ Thus, there will be an accelerating electric force on the charge given by ##F = qE##.

If you put all of these relations together, you find that the accelerating force is ##F = \frac 1 {2B} \frac{dB}{dt} mv##.

What is electromagnetic force?

Electromagnetic force is one of the four fundamental forces of nature. It is the force responsible for interactions between charged particles. This force is mediated by photons and encompasses both electric and magnetic forces. It governs a wide range of phenomena, including electricity, magnetism, and light.

How does electromagnetic force differ from gravitational force?

Electromagnetic force differs from gravitational force in several ways. Firstly, electromagnetic force acts between charged particles, while gravitational force acts between masses. Secondly, electromagnetic force can be both attractive and repulsive, whereas gravitational force is always attractive. Lastly, electromagnetic force is much stronger than gravitational force, but it operates over shorter distances.

What are some practical applications of electromagnetic force?

Electromagnetic force has numerous practical applications in everyday life. It is fundamental to the operation of electrical devices such as motors, generators, and transformers. It also plays a crucial role in communication technologies, including radio, television, and mobile phones. Additionally, electromagnetic force is essential in medical imaging techniques like MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging).

How is electromagnetic force described mathematically?

Electromagnetic force is described mathematically by Maxwell's equations, which are a set of four differential equations. These equations describe how electric and magnetic fields are generated and altered by each other and by charges and currents. The Lorentz force law also describes the force experienced by a charged particle moving in an electromagnetic field.

What is the role of photons in electromagnetic force?

Photons are the elementary particles that mediate the electromagnetic force. They are massless particles that travel at the speed of light and are responsible for transmitting electromagnetic interactions. When charged particles interact, they exchange photons, which carry the force between them. This exchange explains how electromagnetic force operates at a quantum level.
