Lorentz force is given by
Correct answer: A. q(E+v×B)
- A. q(E+v×B)
- B. q(E−v×B)
- C. q(E+v⋅B)
- D. q(E×B+v)
Explanation
A is the correct answer.The Lorentz force F experienced by a charged particle moving with velocity v in an electric field E and a magnetic field B is given by F=q(E+v×B), where q is the charge of the particle.

About Electromagnetism
Magnetic flux density and magnetic flux describe the strength of a magnetic field and the field passing through a surface. A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to its velocity and may follow circular or helical motion, depending on the angle between velocity and field.
