Lorentz Force

This visual interactive simulation will help the student watch how a charged particle moves in a magnetic field. This force is defined as the Lorentz force which is the force on a point charge due to electromagnetic fields. There is a relationship between the movement of the particle through the magnetic field, the strength of that magnetic field and the force on the particle. The following equation described the force: F=qvB
Where:

F is the force in Newtons
q is the electric charge in coulombs
v is the velocity of the charge in meters/sound
B is the strength of the magnetic field.
