Lorentz Force Using Current

The Lorentz force is the combination of electric and magnetic force on a point charge due to electromagnetic fields.

The Lorentz force equals the product of the magnetic flux density, current and the sine of the angle the current makes with the magnetic field.

Formula

QuantityVariable[Subscript["F", "L"], "Force"] == QuantityVariable["B", "MagneticFluxDensity"]*QuantityVariable["I", "ElectricCurrent"]*QuantityVariable["l", "Length"]*Sin[QuantityVariable["θ", "Angle"]]

symbol description physical quantity
FL Lorentz force "Force"
B magnetic flux density "MagneticFluxDensity"
I electric current "ElectricCurrent"
l length of the wire "Length"
θ angle "Angle"
