The magnetic force on a charge moving in a magnetic field is often called the:

ALorentz force
BCoulomb force
CBuoyant force
DFrictional force
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Lorentz force
1. The magnetic force on a moving charge has a standard name. 2. The magnitude depends on the charge, its speed and the field strength. 3. It also depends on the angle between the velocity and the field. 4. This force is often called the Lorentz force. _Source: OpenStax College Physics for AP Courses 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 22 'Magnetism', sections 22.1-22.11_
