     - \( n \): Number of turns per unit length
     - \( I \): Current in the solenoid

### 3. **Magnetic Force (Lorentz Force) on a Moving Charge**
   - **Formula:** \( F = q \, v \, B \, \sin(\theta) \)
   - **Description:** Magnetic force \( F \) on a charge \( q \) moving with velocity \( v \) in a magnetic field \( B \) at angle \( \theta \) to the field.
   - **Where:**
     - \( q \): Charge of the particle
     - \( v \): Velocity of the particle
     - \( B \): Magnetic field
     - \( \theta \): Angle between the velocity vector and the magnetic field

### 4. **Magnetic Force on a Current-Carrying Wire**
   - **Formula:** \( F = I \, L \, B \, \sin(\theta) \)
   - **Description:** Magnetic force \( F \) on a wire of length \( L \) carrying current \( I \) in a magnetic field \( B \) at angle \( \theta \) to the field.
   - **Where:**
     - \( I \): Current in the wire
     - \( L \): Length of the wire
     - \( B \): Magnetic field
     - \( \theta \): Angle between the current direction and the magnetic field

### 5. **Force between Two Parallel Current-Carrying Wires**
   - **Formula:** \( F = \frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2 \pi d} \cdot L \)
   - **Description:** Magnetic force \( F \) per unit length between two parallel wires separated by distance \( d \) carrying currents \( I_1 \) and \( I_2 \).

     - \( I_1 \), \( I_2 \): Currents in the two wires
     - \( d \): Distance between the wires
     - \( L \): Length of the wires over which the force is measured

Let me know if you'd like further explanations on any of these equations or concepts.

### Expanding Questions:
1. How is the direction of the magnetic force determined for a moving charge?
2. What are the applications of the magnetic field of a solenoid?
3. How does the distance between two wires affect the magnetic force between them?
4. Can the magnetic force on a current-carrying wire be zero? Under what conditions?
5. What role does the angle \( \theta \) play in calculating magnetic force?

### Tip:
When using the right-hand rule for magnetic force, point your fingers in the direction of the velocity (for a positive charge) and curl them toward the magnetic field; your thumb will indicate the force direction.
