Magnetic force on a single moving charge

Magnetic force on a single moving charge

A moving charge in a magnetic field experiences a force only if it has a velocity component perpendicular to the field. For the A-level case where the motion is exactly at right angles to the field, the magnitude is F=BQvF = BQvF=BQv.
