The Lorentz Force

3D Model

The Lorentz force is the force experienced by a charged particle moving through an electromagnetic field. It is the combination of electric and magnetic forces, causing the particle to change direction and speed. The force depends on the particle’s charge, velocity, and the strength of the electric and magnetic fields. It plays a crucial role in the behavior of particles in fields, influencing everything from the motion of electrons in circuits to the dynamics of charged particles in space.
