Define the following equation and give a breif descrition of what is is used for
Introduction- Force on an electron when it moves in the electric field and the magnetic field is given by the Lorentz equation.
Given- Force on an electron
Determine - We have to describe the given force
Lorentz equation-
Here q is the charge of an electron
v is the velocity of an electron
B is the magnetic field
E is the electric field
When an electron moves in the electric field and magnetic field the force produced by the electric field is acts as an accelerating force that moves an electron in a straight line and the magnetic force acts as a deflecting force that changes the direction of an electron.
