Right Hand Rule for Magnetic Force on a Particle
Completion requirements
The formula for the Lorentz force is rather complicated – it is probably the trickiest formula you will encounter in this course due to the strange directionality of the magnetic force. Watch this video, which demonstrates that the force on a moving particle is never in the direction of the magnetic field!
