The magnetic part of the Lorentz force on a charge is directed how?
AAlong the velocity of charge
BOpposite to charge velocity
CParallel to the magnetic field
DPerpendicular to velocity and field
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Perpendicular to velocity and field
The magnetic force is a cross product of velocity and field, so it is perpendicular to both.
