What is the Lorentz force equation?
Remember the components of the force formula for electric and magnetic effects.
Does a stationary charge experience magnetic force?
Consider the definition of magnetic force and its dependent factors.
What does the Lorentz force equation define?
Focus on what the equation encompasses regarding forces acting on charges.
True or False: The stationary charge will experience a magnetic force.
Consider how the Lorentz force depends on motion.
A charge of 1 C is in a magnetic field of 5 T moving at 10 m/s forms an angle of 30 degrees with the field. Calculate the magnetic force acting on the charge.
Focus on evaluating the sine function correctly.
If the electric field is 4 N/C and magnetic field is 2 T, what is the Lorentz force on a charge of -3 C moving at 3 m/s in the same direction as the electric field?
Don’t forget to consider the charges' sign while calculating the force.
