Description

The concept of magnetic stresses as transmitters of magnetic forces is revisited with the aim of showing that it can facilitate calculations and the understanding of magnetic interaction at an undergraduate level. A simple derivation of magnetic stresses in vacuum and magnetized plasmas is presented. As an illustrative example magnetic stresses are used to calculate the forces between parallel conductors.
