Centrifugal Force in the Electric Circuit

Abstract. The Lorentz force contains a convective term, v×H. It has been assumed in this series that this term is a Coriolis force. It was shown in an earlier paper that the centrifugal force, grad(A.v), should also be present in the Lorentz force but that it is missing. It will now be suggested that the v×H term in the Lorentz force may in fact be the general convective force, and that it refers to the centrifugal force in the irrotational case when it applies to the force that is acting on a current carrying wire, whereas it refers to the Coriolis force in the rotational case when an electric current is induced in a wire that is moving through a magnetic field.
