Magnetic Field Concepts
Example 5.7: Exploring Magnetic Field Properties
This interactive simulation explores key concepts about magnetic fields and their behavior.
Key Principles Illustrated
1. Magnetic force is always perpendicular to both velocity and field (F = qv×B)
2. Gauss's law for magnetism: ∮B·ds = 0 (no magnetic monopoles)
3. Toroids confine field lines completely, while solenoids cannot
4. Systems can have magnetic moments even with zero net charge
