Electrodynamics - Force and Torque on Loops and Magnetic Dipoles

Learn to calculate electromagnetic forces and torques on current loops near magnetic dipoles through both numerical and analytical methods in this 25-minute physics tutorial. Explore how to break current loops into segments for numerical force calculations and apply the gradient method using magnetic dipole moments and magnetic fields. Master torque calculations using both force-based approaches on individual loop segments and the cross product of magnetic moment and magnetic field. Work through practical Python code examples to visualize and compute these electromagnetic interactions, gaining hands-on experience with computational physics methods for electrodynamics problems.
