(N/A) The magnetic force $F$ acting on a charge $q$ moving with a velocity $v$ in a magnetic field $B$ is given by the Lorentz force formula (magnetic component):
$F = q(v \times B)$
Where:
$F$ is the magnetic force vector.
$q$ is the charge magnitude.
$v$ is the velocity vector of the charge.
$B$ is the magnetic field vector.
The magnitude of this force is given by $F = qvB \sin(\theta)$,where $\theta$ is the angle between the velocity vector $v$ and the magnetic field vector $B$.
