Question

What is the Lorentz force?

Answer 1

Lorentz force is the net electromagnetic force exerted on a charged particle $q$ moving with velocity $\overrightarrow{v}$ through an electric field $\overrightarrow{E}$ and magnetic field $\overrightarrow{B}$. It is given by $\overrightarrow{F}=q\overrightarrow{E}+q\overrightarrow{v}\times \overrightarrow{B}$.
