Section D
This force is given by 𝑭 ⃗ = 𝒒(𝑣 × 𝐵 ⃗ ) where qis the electric charge of the
particle, vis the instantaneous velocity of the particle, and Bis the magnetic
field (in tesla). The direction of force is determined by the rules of cross
product of two vectors. Force is perpendicular to both velocity and
magnetic field. Its direction is given as 𝑣 × 𝐵 ⃗ if qis positive and opposite of
𝑣×𝐵 ⃗ if qis negative.
The force is always perpendicular to both the velocity of the particle and
the magnetic field that created it. Because the magnetic force is always
perpendicular to the motion, the magnetic field can do no work on an
isolated charge. It can only do work indirectly, via the electric field
generated by a changing magnetic field.
