Magnetic Fields and Forces: Formula F = qvB Explained

Magnetism and electricity appear to be separate phenomena — a bar magnet attracts iron, while a charged balloon attracts paper. But they are two aspects of a single fundamental force: electroma...

Electric Field and Potential: E = F/q and V = kQ/r

An electric charge affects the space around it even before anything else is brought near. This influence on space is the electric field. Place a second charge in that field and it feels a force...

Electromagnetic Induction and Faraday's Law: How Generators Work

Every time you charge your phone, drive a car, or switch on a light, you are using a technology built on a discovery made in 1831 by Michael Faraday: electromagnetic induction. Faraday found th...
