Oh you used this equation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biot%E2%80%93Savart_law#Point_charge_at_constant_velocity
I was only familiar with the force which arises between two parallel uniform currents. This is interesting. harry On Sun, Feb 16, 2014 at 11:41 PM, H Veeder <[email protected]> wrote: > What is the source of the magnetism? > > Harry > > > On Sun, Feb 16, 2014 at 6:24 PM, David Roberson <[email protected]>wrote: > >> Sorry, I realize that my wording was flawed.
