The combined electric and magnetic force on a charge is called the:
ALaplace force
BLorentz force
CLambert force
DLagrange force
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Lorentz force
1. The force was given on the basis of Ampere's experiments.
2. It was given first by H.A. Lorentz and is called the Lorentz force.
3. So the correct answer is Lorentz force.
