Magnetic Force
A force experienced by a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field, calculated using the right-hand rule. Current Loop
A wire bent into a closed shape carrying current, which can experience torque in a magnetic field. Right-Hand Rule
A method to determine the direction of magnetic force on a current-carrying wire. Torque
A rotational force on a current loop in a magnetic field, causing it to spin. Magnetic Field
A field represented by lines that exert force on moving charges and current-carrying wires. Net Force
The total force acting on a current loop, which is zero when forces cancel out. Magnetic Moment
A vector quantity representing the strength and orientation of a magnetic source. Normal
A line perpendicular to a surface, crucial for calculating torque in magnetic fields. Angle Theta
The angle between the normal of a loop's area and the magnetic field, affecting torque. Loop Area
The surface area enclosed by a current loop, influencing the magnitude of torque. Number of Loops
The count of wire turns in a coil, affecting the total magnetic moment and torque. Magnetic Field Strength
The intensity of a magnetic field, influencing the force and torque on a current loop. Sine of Theta
A trigonometric function used in torque calculations, dependent on the angle theta. Axis of Rotation
The line around which a current loop rotates due to torque in a magnetic field. Newton Meter
The unit of torque, representing force applied at a distance from the axis of rotation.
