Hi
does the Third law of motion have any thing to do with the magnetic force
like in a electric motor ?

Simon Bridge said:Welcome to PF;
The short answer is "yes".
Did you have a specific example in mind?
magmash said:I am not able to find any information on what the magnetic force really is
Is it some thing that science can't really explain at the mean time, like example what exactly causes Gravity
Simon Bridge said:The magnetic force is part of the electromagnetic force - which is understood, in the standard model, in terms of interactions between charged particles, such as electrons, and photons. You should look up "quantum electrodynamics".
note: "movement of electrons" is too vague - can you be specific?
i.e. can you think of some situation in which the motion of an electron in a magnetic field appears to violate the third law?
magmash said:Well what I mean is,
example when we spray water at an object let's say a standing piece of plywood, the ply wood will fall down due the the force of the water particles hitting the plywood, Well how does the magnetic force work ? is there any atom,particle collisions causing the force ?
OK - so you don't want to talk about electrons then?magmash said:Well what I mean is,

The Third Law of Motion, also known as Newton's Third Law, states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This means that for every force applied, there will be an equal and opposite force acting in the opposite direction.
Magnetic force is the force exerted by a magnetic field on a magnetic object or a moving electric charge. It is a fundamental force of nature that is responsible for many phenomena, such as the attraction or repulsion of magnets and the behavior of electric currents in a magnetic field.
The Third Law of Motion and magnetic force are connected through the concept of action and reaction. When a magnetic force acts on a magnetic object, the object will exert an equal and opposite force back on the magnetic field. This follows the principle of Newton's Third Law.
Yes, magnetic force can affect the motion of objects. When a magnetic force acts on a moving object, it can cause the object to change direction or speed. This is because the magnetic force is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction, and can exert a force in a specific direction on an object.
One example of the Third Law of Motion and magnetic force in action is the movement of trains on a magnetic levitation (maglev) track. The magnetic force between the train and the track allows the train to levitate and move forward without any physical contact, demonstrating the equal and opposite reactions between the two objects. Another example is the behavior of compass needles, which align with Earth's magnetic field due to the magnetic force acting on them.
