Electric Charges Entities that produce electric fields and experience forces in the presence of other charges. Magnetic Field A field produced by moving charges or magnets, represented by the symbol B. Magnetic Force The force experienced by a charge or wire in a magnetic field. Current The flow of electric charge through a conductor, necessary for producing magnetic fields. Field Lines Imaginary lines representing the direction and strength of a field, such as electric or magnetic. Solenoids Coils of wire that produce a uniform magnetic field when carrying current. Loops of Wire Circular arrangements of wire that generate magnetic fields when current flows through them. Producing Charge A charge that creates an electric field affecting other charges. Feeling Charge A charge that experiences a force due to an electric field from another charge. Existing Field A pre-existing magnetic field in which charges or wires can experience forces. New Magnetic Field A magnetic field generated by moving charges or current-carrying wires. Current-Carrying Wires Wires through which electric current flows, producing magnetic fields. Static Charges Charges at rest that only produce electric fields, not magnetic fields. Equation Sheet A collection of formulas used to solve problems related to fields and forces in magnetism. Mutual Force The force experienced by two interacting charges or magnets, each affecting the other.
