This study guide covers magnetic forces on conductors, including the interaction of induced currents with magnetic fields. It explains the key formula for calculating magnetic force on a current-carrying wire and explores factors like loop size, shape, magnetic field strength, and loop orientation that affect the force. The guide also discusses applying Newton's Second Law to analyze loop motion and provides practice questions and exam tips, emphasizing the right-hand rule and the importance of correct unit usage.
