The Main Idea
The Electric and Magnetic Forces can be combined into a single force called the "Lorentz Force." This combination of the two forces is useful in applications where a magnetic field and electric field act on a specific particle or series of particles.
A Mathematical Model
What are the mathematical equations that allow us to model this topic. For example [math]\displaystyle{ \vec{F}_{Lorentz} = q\vec{E} + q\vec{v} ⨯ \vec{B} }[/math] where qE is the electric force and qv x B is the magnetic force.
