Lorentz Force Simulation

Interactive visualization of the magnetic force on a current-carrying rod placed on inclined rails.

Vector Legend

  • Force (F): Resulting Lorentz force
  • Current (I): Direction of current
  • Magnetic Field (B): External vertical field

Physics Principle

The magnetic force is defined by the cross product:

F = I (L × B)

Adjust the parameters below to see how the force vector changes direction and magnitude.
