Write the equation for the Lorentz force.
(N/A) The Lorentz force is the total force experienced by a charged particle moving in a region where both electric field $(E)$ and magnetic field $(B)$ are present.
It is given by the vector sum of the electric force and the magnetic force:
$F = F_e + F_m$
$F = qE + q(v \times B)$
$F = q(E + v \times B)$
Where:
$q$ is the charge of the particle,
$E$ is the electric field vector,
$v$ is the velocity vector of the particle,
$B$ is the magnetic field vector,
and $\times$ denotes the vector cross product.
