electromagnetism - Could you use magnetic fields to direct a bolt of lightning?


Would it be possible to direct the flow of electrons in a lightning bolt in a certain direction, using magnetic fields?


Furthermore, would it be possible to direct the lightning in a long straight line, like a projectile? If so, what would be the simplest setup necessary to do this?

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
