The force acting on a moving charge in a magnetic field is called Lorentz force. Lorentz force is named after the Dutch physicist hendrik lorentz. According to Lorentz force law, Lorentz force can be regarded as an equation, which is called Lorentz force equation.
The direction of Lorentz force can be judged by the left-handed rule. Open your left hand so that your thumb is perpendicular to the other four fingers, and they are all flush with the palm, so that the magnetic induction line can enter from the palm, and the four fingers point to the direction of positive charge movement, that is, the direction of Lorentz force.
Introduction of Hendrick Antoine Lorenz:
Hendrik antoon lorentz (1853 July18 ~1928 February 4), English name: Hendrik Antoon Lorenz. An outstanding theoretical physicist and mathematician in modern times, the founder of classical electronic theory.
He fills the gap between classical electromagnetic field theory and relativity, is a connecting link between classical physics and modern physics, and is the leader of the first generation of theoretical physicists.
He and his compatriot Zeeman shared the 1902 Nobel Prize in Physics. He also derived the transformation equation of Einstein's special theory of relativity, which is now known as Lorentz transformation. He is also the chairman of the Committee of the International Union for Scientific Cooperation.
