Write the expression, in a vector form, for the Lorentz magnetic force →F due to a charge moving with velocity →V in a magnetic field →B. What is the direction of the magnetic force?

Solution
The Lorentz magnetic force is given by the following relation: →F=q(→V×→B) Here q is the magnitude of the moving charge. The direction of the magnetic force is perpendicular to the plane containing the velocity vector →V and the magnetic field vector →B.
