OpenStax Physics (High School)
Lesson Plan
Magnetic Fields, Field Lines, and Force
Goals / Objectives
Describe the nature of magnetic fields and the sources that create them
Draw and interpret magnetic field line diagrams for bar magnets and current-carrying wires
Apply the right-hand rule to determine the direction of magnetic force on a moving charge or current-carrying wire
Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force on a moving charge using F = qvB sinθ
Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force on a current-carrying wire using F = BIL sinθ
Explain why magnetic force does no work on a moving charge
Standards
20.1
"The magnetic force on a moving charge is F = qvB sinθ, where θ is the angle between v and B. The direction of the magnetic force is given by the right-hand rule." "The magnetic force on a current-carrying conductor is F = BIL sinθ, where L is the length of the conductor and θ is the angle between the current direction and B."
