A magnetorquer or magnetic torquer (also known as a torque rod) is a satellite system for attitude control, detumbling, and stabilization built from electromagnetic coils. The magnetorquer creates a magnetic dipole that interfaces with an ambient magnetic field, usually Earth's, so that the counter-forces produced provide useful torque. (Wikipedia).
Magnetism (2 of 13) Why are Magnets Magnetic, An Explanation
An explanation of why magnets are magnetic. Ever wondered why some pieces of metal stick together and some don't? Watch this video and find out why. It is amazing. A magnet is a material or object that produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field is invisible but is responsible for t

Magnetism (3 of 13) Magnetic Field of a Current Carrying Wire, An Explanation
Explains how to determine the direction and magnitude of the magnetic field from a current carrying wire. The direction of the magnetic field is found using the first right hand rule. Point your thumb in the direction of the current and your fingers curl around the wire in the direction

Magnetism (4 of 13) Magnetic Field of a Wire, Calculations
Explains how to do simple calculations for the magnetic field generated by the current in a long straight wire. Three worked examples show you how to calculate the magnetic field strength, the amount of current flowing through the wire and the distance r from the wire. The magnetic field
