Magnetic Force on Moving Charges

Magnetic force on moving charges depends on motion, charge, and field direction. A moving charge or a current creates a magnetic field in the space around it, along with its electric field. That magnetic field can then push on other moving charges or currents in the field.

A moving test charge experiences a force in addition to the gravitational and electric forces, which is called the magnetic force. It is described by a field called the magnetic field.

All magnets have an invisible magnetic field around them. It is a vector quantity represented by the symbol B. Its SI unit is the tesla.
