   *can be added to other forces on an object to get the net force on the object. Using the net force on the object you can then find the acceleration of the object - you have heard this as the [[183_notes:momentum_principle|momentum principle]] or [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton%27s_laws_of_motion#Newton.27s_second_law|Newton's Second Law of Motion]] in your Physics 1 class. Mathematically, we represent this relationship as: $$\Delta \vec{p} = \vec{p}_f - \vec{p}_i = \vec{F}_{net,avg} \Delta t$$ $$\vec{F}_{net} = \frac{\Delta \vec{p}}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{d\vec{p}}{dt} = m \frac{d\vec{v}}{dt}= m\vec{a}$$ where $m$ is the mass of the object, $\vec{a}$ is the acceleration of the object, and $\vec{F}_{net}$ is the net force on that object. To find the net force a [[183_notes:freebodydiagrams|Free Body Diagram]] (or a Force Diagram) can be a useful tool.   *can be added to other forces on an object to get the net force on the object.

-  *acts on an object by something - in the case of the magnetic force this is typically referring to the force from a magnetic field on a charge or current (as we will see in the next pages of notes). NOTE that a moving charge cannot feel a force from the magnetic field it produces (for the same reason why you can float or fly by pulling on your toes). **In order for a moving charge to feel a force, there must be an external magnetic field.**+  *acts on an object by something - in the case of the magnetic force this is typically referring to the force from a magnetic field on a charge or current (as we will see in the next pages of notes).
