"The magnetic force on a moving charge is F = qvB sinĪø, where Īø is the angle between v and B. The direction of the magnetic force is given by the right-hand rule."
"The magnetic force on a current-carrying conductor is F = BIL sinĪø, where L is the length of the conductor and Īø is the angle between the current direction and B."
