You could imagine a permanent magnet as being made of little tiny current loops due to electrons whizzing around their nuclei (which is not a great model, but it's a start), in which case the Lorentz force model would give you the information that you need. | |

| Feb 24, 2021 at 20:43 | comment | added | J. Murray | @hellofriends No. That derivation takes as input that $\mathbf E = \mathbf F/q$ for a stationary charge. This is additional information above and beyond the Maxwell equations. | |
