How to use

1. Input electric charge magnitude q in Coulombs.
2. Enter particle velocity v in meters per second.
3. Specify magnetic flux density B in Teslas (T).
4. Enter angle α between velocity vector and magnetic field vector (degrees).
5. View resulting Lorentz force in Newtons (N).

Calculation Example

For an electron (charge e ≈ 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ C) moving at 10⁶ m/s perpendicular to a 0.5 T magnetic field (α = 90°, sin(90°) = 1):

Lorentz force: F = q * v * B * sin(α) = 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ * 10⁶ * 0.5 * 1 = 8.0 × 10⁻¹⁴ N.

Calculation Methodology

The magnetic component of Lorentz force obeys F = |q| * v * B * sin(α). Direction follows the right-hand rule for positive charges (F = q * [v × B]).
