Give the expression for Lorentz force acting on a moving electric charge in a combined electric and magnetic field.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`vec(F)=q(vec(E)+(vec(v) times vec(B))), " where "qvec(E)=`electric force and `q(vec(v) times vec(B))=` magnetic force.
The combined electric and magnetic forces acting on a moving electric charge is called the Lorentz force.
