EM_FAQ: Calculate components of the Lorentz force.
Assume a distribution of magnetic field surrounding conductors with applied DC currents. The calculation of the components of the Lorentz force has the following steps in the field calculator.
- Quantity -> J
- Quantity -> B
- Cross
- Scalar -> ScalarX
- Geom -> Volume … (specify the volume of interest) OK
- ∫
- Eval
The above example shows the process for calculating the X component of the Lorentz force. Similar steps should be performed for all components of interest.
