    Lorentz force is given by the following formula

    A) \[\mathbf{\vec{F}}=q\mathbf{\vec{E}}\]                            

    B) \[\mathbf{\vec{F}}=q(\mathbf{\vec{V}}\times \mathbf{\vec{B}})\]

    C) \[\mathbf{\vec{F}}=q\mathbf{\vec{E}}+q(\mathbf{\vec{V}}\times \mathbf{\vec{B}})\]              

    D) \[\mathbf{\vec{F}}=q\mathbf{\vec{E}}+q(\mathbf{\vec{B}}\times \mathbf{\vec{V}})\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Lorentz force for a moving charged particle is \[\vec{F}=q\vec{E}+qvB\,\sin \theta \]                 =             \[\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Electric \\  force \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{q\,\vec{E}}}\,\,\,\,+\,\,\,\,\,\underset{\begin{smallmatrix}  Magnetic \\  force \end{smallmatrix}}{\mathop{q(\vec{v}\times \vec{B})}}\,\]
