About this Simulation

This simulation models the Lorentz force exerted on current-carrying wires placed in magnetic fields. Learners can adjust current direction and magnitude, manipulate magnetic field strength and orientation, and observe how these variables affect the force experienced by the wire in real time.

Learning objectives: Understand the relationship between current, magnetic field, and Lorentz force using the right-hand rule | Predict force direction and magnitude based on field and current vectors | Explore how changing field parameters affects wire motion and force behavior
