Here's my little initial foray into the wonderful world of magnetohydrodynamics:
https://johncarlosbaez.wordpress.com/2025/01/01/magnetohydrodynamics/
I show how to derive the basic equations, and I use them to explain magnetic pressure and magnetic tension. All this stuff is standard. I just never learned it in school! I was too enamored with the charms of pure mathematics and 'fundamental' physics.
If you're scared to look at my article, I'll still show you the key equations. (Do my next posts need a content warning for the math averse?)
