Lorentz Force Law

Since electric and magnetic forces are closely related, it makes sense to write one formula for both the electric and the magnetic force on a charged particle. If we have a charge q moving with a velocity through an electric field and a magnetic field , then the electric force is , the magnetic force , and the total “electromagnetic” force is given by

......(1)

Equation (1), which is known as the Lorentz force law, is a complete description of the electric and magnetic forces on a charged particle, provided and are known.
