About this document
Railgun Physics and Lorentz Force Analysis by Nicholas Jackson is a document available to read on EtoBox.
1) The document discusses the underlying physics of a railgun. It explains how a current flowing through a loop creates a magnetic field, and how this magnetic field exerts a Lorentz force on any moving part of the loop, propelling it away from the power source. 2) To quantitatively model the railgun, the document outlines a process to analytically determine the magnetic field, induced electric field, current, and Lorentz force as functions of time and geometry. 3) The goal is to derive a differential e
