Mobile charge and Magnetic Field

Moving charge enters magnetic field ehibit the following behavior below

For positive electric charge

For negtive electric charge

In general form

Lorentz force

The electromagnetic force F on a test charge at a given point and time is a certain function of its charge q and velocity v, which can be parameterized by exactly two vectors E and B, in the functional form:

Where

. Lorentz force
. Electric charge
. Electric Field
. Magnetic Field
. Speed
