When two magnet fields cross each over, they generate a force called Lorentz force. The degree of swing is proportional to the acting force. A rolling cylinder bar demonstrates clearly the force generated.

The purpose of this experiment is to study the magnetic force -created by a magnetic field- on a current carrying wire and bar , which is placed in the magnetic field. In this experiment, you will investigate:
- Lorentz Force
- The effect of the electric current on the magnetic force
The current carrying in a magnetic field wire experiences an upward or downward magnetic force depending on the direction of the current and the direction of the magnetic field. The magnetic force ( F ) on the current carrying wire is perpendicular to both the wire (current direction) and the magnetic field direction between the poles of the magnet. If we represent the segment of a wire with a length of l along the wire in the direction of the current (I ), then the magnetic force ( F ) on this segment can be described mathematically by the vector product:
