  2. Ampère's force law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampère's_force_law

    In magnetostatics, the force of attraction or repulsion between two current-carrying wires (see first figure below) is often called Ampère's force law. The physical origin of this force is that each wire generates a magnetic field , following the Biot–Savart law , and the other wire experiences a magnetic force as a consequence, following ...

  4. Ampere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ampere

    Ampère's force law [15] [16] states that there is an attractive or repulsive force between two parallel wires carrying an electric current. This force is used in the formal definition of the ampere. The SI unit of charge, the coulomb, was then defined as "the quantity of electricity carried in 1 second by a current of 1 ampere".

  5. Eddy current - Wikipedia

    Currents may be initially associated with the creation of static potentials, but these may be transitory and small. (left) Eddy currents (I, red) within a solid iron transformer core. (right) Making the core out of thin laminations parallel to the field (B, green) with insulation (C) between them reduces the eddy currents. Although the field ...

  6. Birkeland current - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birkeland_current

    This can also twist, producing a helical pinch that spirals like a twisted or braided rope, and this most closely corresponds to a Birkeland current. Pairs of parallel Birkeland currents will also interact due to Ampère's force law: parallel Birkeland currents moving in the same direction will attract each other with an electromagnetic force ...

  7. Lorentz force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorentz_force

    If Coulomb's law were completely correct, no force should act between any two short segments of such current loops. However, around 1825, André-Marie Ampère demonstrated experimentally that this is not the case. Ampère also formulated a force law. Based on this law, Gauss concluded that the electromagnetic force between two point charges ...

  8. Magnetism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetism

    In the years after 1820, André-Marie Ampère carried out numerous experiments in which he measured the forces between direct currents. In particular, he also studied the magnetic forces between non-parallel wires. [27] The final result of his work was a force law that is now named after him.

  9. Casimir effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect

    They are relativistic, quantum forces between charges and currents. The Casimir force (per unit area) between parallel plates vanishes as alpha, the fine structure constant, goes to zero, and the standard result, which appears to be independent of alpha, corresponds to the alpha approaching infinity limit", and that "The Casimir force is simply ...
