Lorentz Force: If a charge +q is moving ...

Lorentz Force:
If a charge +q is moving in an electric field E, it experiences a force qE called Lorentz electric force.If the charge q is moving in a magnetic field `vecB`, it experiences a force `(vecvxxvecB)` called Lorentz magnetic force. If charge q is moving in a n electric field E as well as in magnetic field `vecB` simultaneously, the total force experience by the charge is the sum of these two forces and is called total Lorentz force.
Magnetic Lorentz force on the charge depends upon the strength of

A

magnetic field only

B

energy of the charge only

C

magnetic field as well as velocity of the charge

D

electric field.
