Magnets and Magnetic Force

In these videos and articles you'll learn how the magnitude of the magnetic force depends on the charge, velocity, and magnetic field. You'll also learn how to use the right hand rule to determine the direction of the magnetic force. Lastly, it will be explained how to determine the magnetic force on a current carrying wire.
