Module 4:  Magnetostatics

Objectives:

After completing this module, students will be able to calculate the magnetic force on moving charges and current-carrying wires and the torque on a current loop placed into a uniform magnetic field.  They will be able to calculate the magnetic field produced by current carrying wires in simple geometric configurations using Ampere's law and the Biot-Savart Law.  Students will have been introduced to diamagnetic, paramagnetic, and ferromagnetic materials.
