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)
