%0 Journal Article %T Electromagnetic Pressure and the Lorentz Force %A Leandro Mel¨¦ndez Lugo %A Samuel Roberto Barocio %A Esteban Ch¨˘vez Alarc¨®n %J Applied Physics Research %D 2012 %I %R 10.5539/apr.v4n4p91 %X Two seldom used concepts, electric and magnetic pressure, have been applied to the classical problem of characterizing the force exerted on a charged particle by external electric and magnetic fields. In terms of fundamental natural laws such as the Coulomb's and magnetic ones (Lorentz), a generalization of the electrostatic and magnetostatic energy densities is obtained. %U http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/apr/article/view/21558
