Force due to a Magnetic Field

  Force due to a Magnetic Field

 Force on a charged particle

Charged particle drifts in a homogenous magnetic field. (A) No disturbing force (B) With an electric field, E (C) With an independent force, F (eg. gravity) (D) In an inhomgeneous magnetic field, grad H

where

F is the force (in newtons)

q is the electric charge of the particle (in coulombs)

v is the instantaneous velocity of the particle (in metres per second)

B is the magnetic field (in teslas)

and × is the cross product.
