Electromagnetic Force (Lorentz)

Magnetic force on a moving point charge, F = qvB·sinθ, or on a current-carrying conductor, F = BIL·sinθ. θ is the angle between the velocity (or current) direction and the field B.

v (or I) B F
Force is perpendicular to both velocity/current and field, per the right-hand rule.
