Math Formula Information

Formula: F = q ( E + v × B ) {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {F}}=q({\boldsymbol {E}}+{\boldsymbol {v}}\times {\boldsymbol {B}})}

Name: Lorentz force

Description: force exerted on a charge in electromagnetic field

Elements of the Formula

Lorentz force F {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {F}}} force exerted on a charge in electromagnetic field
electric charge q {\displaystyle q} physical property that quantifies an object's interaction with electric fields
electric field strength E {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {E}}} vector physical quantity of electrostatics and electrodynamics
magnetic flux density B {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {B}}} vector physical quantity describing production of a potential difference across a conductor when it is exposed to a varying magnetic field
velocity v {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {v}}} rate of change of the position of an object as a function of time, and the direction of that change
