Force on Moving Charges & Right Hand Rule definitions Flashcards

The force experienced by a moving charge in a magnetic field, calculated using F = QVBsin(θ).

A method to determine the direction of magnetic force on a positive charge using the orientation of fingers and thumb.

The force on a charged particle moving through a magnetic field, named after Hendrik Lorentz.

The unit of magnetic field strength, equivalent to one newton per ampere meter.

The unit of electric charge, representing the quantity of electricity transported in one second by a current of one ampere.

The speed of a charge in a specific direction, represented as a vector in magnetic force calculations.

A field represented by lines indicating the direction and strength of magnetic forces.

The angle between the velocity vector and the magnetic field vector in the force equation.

A positively charged particle used in examples to apply the right hand rule.

A negatively charged particle for which the left hand rule is used to determine force direction.

Represents a direction into the page or away from the viewer in diagrams.

Represents a direction out of the page or towards the viewer in diagrams.

A quantity having both magnitude and direction, such as velocity or magnetic field.

In the right hand rule, indicates the direction of the magnetic force.

A variation of the right hand rule used for determining force direction on negative charges.
