Practice question · Fill in the blanks
Complete the statement with the correct term.
The force on a moving charge in a magnetic field is . This is called the ______ force.
Word bank: induction · coulomb · capacitance · Lorentz
Hints
- The combined force has one electric term and one magnetic term.
- The magnetic term involves a cross product with the velocity.
Show the answer
The force on a moving charge in a magnetic field is . This is called the Lorentz force.
Why
