Physics Education Electromagnetism: Force on a Current Carrying Wire Part 1

Recently I conducted an experiment with my students to investigate the force acting on a current carrying wire in a magnetic field. This experiment is performed by many physics teachers only this time I was able to improve upon it by using a data logger.

Physics Education - Electromagnetism: F=Bqv Part 2


The equipment required to verify the relationships embodied in the equation F=Bqv is expensive and not available to many schools. As such it is an ideal experiment for simulation.  The software used for the following experiment is Focus on Fields.
