What is the Lorentz force related to?
Gravity
Thermodynamics
Electromagnetic forces
Nuclear forces
Answer
Electromagnetic forces are responsible for the Lorentz force, which acts on charged particles moving in a magnetic field. The force is perpendicular to both the particle's velocity and the magnetic field, and its magnitude is proportional to the particle's charge, velocity, and the strength of the magnetic field.
