(N/A) The Lorentz force is the total force exerted on a point charge $q$ moving with velocity $\vec{v}$ in the presence of both an electric field $\vec{E}$ and a magnetic field $\vec{B}$.
The equation is given by:
$\vec{F} = q(\vec{E} + \vec{v} \times \vec{B})$
Where:
- $\vec{F}$ is the Lorentz force.
- $q$ is the electric charge.
- $\vec{E}$ is the electric field vector.
- $\vec{v}$ is the velocity vector of the charge.
- $\vec{B}$ is the magnetic field vector.
- $\times$ denotes the vector cross product.
