The effect of the Lorentz force on a particle (test charge) is represented as the transformation of the four-momentum space of the particle unto itself, and the transformations are elements of the active Lorentz group.

Although he died young, he made major contributions to the development of the kinetic theory of gases, to the understanding of color vision, and to the nature of Saturn’s rings. He is best known for having combined existing knowledge of the laws of electricity and of magnetism with insights of his own into a complete overarching electromagnetic theory, represented by Maxwell’s equations.

This is electromagnetic induction, and, seen this way, there is nothing new: electromagnetic induction is nothing more than the Lorentz force on the conduction electrons within the metal.

The SI unit for magnetic field strength B is the tesla (T). The direction of the force on a moving charge is given by right hand rule 1: Point the thumb of the right hand in the direction of v, the fingers in the direction of B, and a perpendicular to the palm points in the direction of F. The force is perpendicular to the plane formed by mathbfv and \mathbf{B}.

(Don't try this at home, as it will permanently magnetize and ruin the TV.) To illustrate this, calculate the radius of curvature of the path of an electron having a velocity of 6.00×107m/s (corresponding to the accelerating voltage of about 10.0 kV used in som…
