McCall, Martin; Kinsler, Paul; Tymms, Vijay – Physics Teacher, 2020
In many high school teaching materials the force on a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field is discussed using an idea based on a so-called "catapult field" (cf. Fig. 1), an engaging depiction of magnetic forces, albeit one which, to the best of our knowledge, has neither been used in college-level educational material or scrutinized…
