A force that will not touch a stationary charge
Electric fields push any charge, moving or not. Magnetic fields are pickier: they only notice charge that is MOVING, and they push it sideways. The magnitude is — read aloud F equals q v B sine theta. is the magnetic force in newtons; is the charge magnitude in coulombs; is its speed in metres per second; is the magnetic flux density in teslas (T); and (theta) is the angle between the velocity and the field lines. Whichever one the question leaves blank is the one you solve for.
The tesla is a big unit and worth calibrating against: Earth's field is about , a fridge magnet about , a hospital MRI bore 1.5 to 3 T. If your answer says the lab bench is running at 40 T, something upstream is lying.
Everything interesting lives in that . Fly ALONG the field lines and , , and the force is exactly nothing. Sit still and , and again nothing. Cut straight ACROSS at and — maximum push. Reach for instead and you have claimed the force peaks where it actually vanishes. And one more fact, free now and load-bearing at the boss: the force is perpendicular to the motion, so it does no work. It never speeds a charge up. It only turns it.
