5 days ago · Category. v. t. e. In physics, a force is an influence that can cause an object to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate, meaning a change in speed or direction, unless counterbalanced by other forces. The concept of force makes the everyday notion of pushing or pulling mathematically precise.

2 days ago · Maxwell's equations are partial differential equations that relate the electric and magnetic fields to each other and to the electric charges and currents. Often, the charges and currents are themselves dependent on the electric and magnetic fields via the Lorentz force equation and the constitutive relations.
May 3, 2024 · fundamental force, in physics, any of the four basic forces— gravitational, electromagnetic, strong, and weak —that govern how objects or particles interact and how certain particles decay. All the known forces of nature can be traced to these fundamental forces.

May 13, 2024 · The two fields are different aspects of the electromagnetic field, which is the force that causes electric charges to interact. The electric field, E, at any point around a distribution of charge is defined as the force per unit charge when a positive test charge is placed at that point.
5 days ago · A magnetic field is a physical field that describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, [1] : ch1 [2] and magnetic materials. A moving charge in a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its own velocity and to the magnetic field.
