force exerted on a charge in relation to a magnetic and electric field formula is

\vec{F} = q(\vec{E} + \vec{v} \times \vec{B})
  • $\vec{F}$ = Lorentz force (in Newtons, \text{N})
  • $q$ = Electric charge of the particle (in Coulombs, \text{C})
  • $\vec{E}$ = Electric field vector (in Volts per meter, \text{V/m})
  • $\vec{v}$ = Velocity vector of the particle (in meters per second, \text{m/s})
  • $\vec{B}$ = Magnetic field vector (in Teslas, \text{T})
  • $\times$ = Vector cross product
