Lorentz Force

Topics

• Magnetic Force

$F_B=q\vec{v}\times \vec{B}$

• The force a particle of charge $q$ moving at velocity $\vec{v}$ experiences when moving through a magnetic field $\vec{B}$

$F_B=I\vec{L}\times \vec{B}$

• The force a wire carrying current $I$ running in direction $\vec{L}$ experiences in a magnetic field $\vec{B}$

${\vec{F}}_B=q(\vec{E}+\vec{v}\times \vec{B})$

• Including an electric field $\vec{E}$
