Question : 7
Total: 30
Write the expression, in a vector form, for the Lorentz magnetic force
due to a charge moving the velocity
in a magnetic field
. What is the direction of the magnetic force?
Solution:
The Lorentz force can be determined by the formula,
F = q ( v × B )
whereq is the charge, v is the velocity and B is the magnetic field density. Lorentz force is Perpendicular to both magnetic field and velocity. The right-hand thumb rule is applicable in determining the Lorentz force.
