1) Magnetic field of a long wire
Magnetic fields arise from charges
moving A long straight wire carrying a
current is the simplest example of a
moving charge that generates a
magnetic field .

Force : The force on a moving charge is
proportional to the component of the
Fmax qvB for v B magnetic field perpendicular to the
direction of the velocity of the charge and
is in a direction perpendicular to both the
velocity and the field B
