PlanetPhysics/Lorentz Force Law

For given electric and magnetic fields, the force on a particle with charge $q$ is determined by multiplying the charge by the Electric Field plus the cross product of the particle's velocity with the magnetic field. This relationship is known as the Lorentz force law

$\mathbf {F} =q\left(\mathbf {E} +\mathbf {v} \times \mathbf {B} \right)$
