Magnetic Force Calculator — F = qvB sin θ
A charge moving through a magnetic field feels a sideways force — maximum when moving perpendicular to the field, zero when parallel. This steers everything from motors to auroras.
Magnetic Force Calculator — F = qvB sin θ
How to interpret the result
The force is always perpendicular to the velocity — so magnetic fields change a particle's direction, never its speed. Cyclotrons exploit exactly this.
Assumptions
- Uniform magnetic field
- Non-relativistic speeds
- Angle-solving returns the acute solution
