Lorentz force law

For given electric and magnetic fields, the force on a particle with charge $ q$ is determined by multiplying the charge by the Electric Field plus the cross product of the particle's velocity with the magnetic field. This relationship is known as the Lorentz force law

$\displaystyle \mathbf{F} = q \left ( \mathbf{E} + \mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{B} \right ) $
