Lorentz's Forces

Description:

If a charge ‘q’ is moving with velocity F→ enters in a region in which electric field E→ and magnetic field B→ both are present, it experiences a force due to both field simultaneously.

The force experienced by the charged particle is given by –

• Electrical Force - F_E = q.→E → (F in direction of E)

• Magnetic Force - F_B = q.→v →×B → (F perpendicular to V)

Hence the Lorentz’s force is given by-

F_L = q→(E →+V →×B →)
