15: Electromagnetic Forces

( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)

In this chapter we begin the study of electromagnetism. The forces on charged particles due to electromagnetic fields are introduced and related to the general case of force on a particle by a gauge field. The principles of electric motors and generators are then addressed as an example of such forces in action.
