Write the expression, in a vector form, for the Lorentz magnetic force straight F with rightwards harpoon with barb upwards on top due to a charge moving with velocity straight V with rightwards arrow on top  in a magnetic field B. What is the direction of the magnetic force?                 


Lorentz magnetic force is given by:

; q is the magnitude of the moving charge. 
The direction of the magnetic force is perpendicular to the plane containing the velocity vector and the magnetic field vector.
