Calculates the force exerted on a moving charge by electric and magnetic fields.
Start with your values, or try a preset.
Enter Charge (Coulombs), Velocity (m/s), Magnetic Field Strength (Tesla), Electric Field Strength (N/C), and Angle (degrees) between velocity and magnetic field in the units shown.
Read Electric Force Magnitude (Newtons), Magnetic Force Magnitude (Newtons), and Total Lorentz Force Magnitude (Newtons) in the results panel. Results update as you change the inputs.
Choose a preset to load an example, then adjust the values for your situation.
See the inputs and their calculated results.
