Some Pivotal Thoughts on the Current Balance

The current balance is an excellent device for demonstrating the force on a current-carrying wire. By considering the electrons flowing through the wires and applying some geometrical analysis, we can gain a better understanding of why the wire moves, how the current is distributed in the wires, and...

description The current balance is an excellent device for demonstrating the force on a current-carrying wire. By considering the electrons flowing through the wires and applying some geometrical analysis, we can gain a better understanding of why the wire moves, how the current is distributed in the wires, and why the simplifying assumptions of the force law apply to this realistic situation.
