Lorentz Force Simulation
Discover how charged particles behave in electromagnetic fields with our immersive Lorentz Force Simulation, perfect for understanding fundamental physics concepts.
F = q(E + v × B)
v (velocity)
F (force)
B (field)
Lorentz Force Demonstration
A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences a force perpendicular to both its velocity and the magnetic field.
F = q(v × B)
• The force direction follows the right-hand rule for positive charges (reverse for negative)
• Force magnitude: F = qvBsinθ (maximum when θ = 90°)
• No work is done by the magnetic force (always perpendicular to motion)
