Question

Lorentz Force generally refers to ______.

Options

• force experienced by a charge due to combined action of electrical and gravitational field

• force experienced by a charge due to action of magnetic fields

• force experienced by a charge due to combined action of electrical fields

• force experienced by a charge due to combined action of electrical and magnetic fields

Answer 1

Lorentz Force generally refers to force experienced by a charge due to combined action of electrical and magnetic fields.

Explanation:

The Lorentz Force is given by F = qE + q(v × B). It acts on a charged particle when it moves in the presence of an electric as well as a magnetic fields.
