Physics 30 - June 8

Today we finished up the course by looking at the magnetic forces acting on an electric current running in a wire.  These forces are experienced by the wire because the wire produces its own internal magnetic field which is then interacting with the external magnetic field.  This was covered on slides 51-58 in the powerpoint.  Assignment 5.5 was assigned at the end of the period and students will get some more time tomorrow to work on it.
