In physics (specifically in electromagnetism) the Lorentz force (or electromagnetic force) is the combination of electric and magnetic force on a point charge due to electromagnetic fields. A particle of charge q moving with a velocity v in an electric field E and a magnetic field B experiences a force of
F = q E + q v × B {\displaystyle \mathbf {F} =q\mathbf {E} +q\mathbf {v} \times \mathbf {B} } {\mathbf {F}}=q{\mathbf {E}}+q{\mathbf {v}}\times {\mathbf {B}}
(in SI units[1][2]). It says that the electromagnetic force on a charge q {\displaystyle q} q is a combination of a force in the direction of the electric field E {\displaystyle \mathbf {E} } \mathbf {E} proportional to the magnitude of the field and the quantity of charge, and a force at right angles to the magnetic field B {\displaystyle \mathbf {B} } \mathbf {B} and the velocity v {\displaystyle \mathbf {v} } \mathbf {v} of the charge, proportional to the magnitude of the field, the charge, and the velocity. Variations on this basic formula describe the magnetic force on a current-carrying wire (sometimes called Laplace force), the electromotive force in a wire loop moving through a magnetic field (an aspect of Faraday's law of induction), and the force on a moving charged particle.
