In this episode of Flipping Physics, we delve into the intriguing world of magnetic forces in current-carrying wires. Ever wondered how the net magnetic force on a wire is calculated when charges are on the move in a wire? We break down the equation step by step, from charge carrier density to magnetic field, providing clarity on how to determine the net magnetic force in a straight wire. Plus, we explore scenarios when wires aren't perfectly straight or the magnetic field varies, introducing the integral form of the equation. Join us and grasp the magnetic forces at play in current-carrying wires!​
