The force experienced on a charge, using macroscopic quantities
Zangwill says (Zangwill, Modern Electrodynamics, 2012 edition, page 40, undersection 2.3.1, "Lorentz Averaging")
...An example is the force on the charge density $\rho$ and current
density $...

Ratio between electric and magnetic forces
Suppose I have two beams of electrons moving at speed $v$ separated by a distance $d$. I can work out magnetic and electric forces between them...
For the magnetic force, we treat the two beams wires ...

What happens when both magnetic field and electric field is applied to a charged particle?
Now what exactly happens when magnetic field and electric field is applied perpendicularly? What happens when they are not perpendicular?
In the question, it says that a magnetic field and electric ...

Deriving Lorentz force from relativistic force
By EQ.$72$ of this, Richard Haskell proves Lorentz force law in subsequent sections. During the proof he says that,
Suppose a conductor of charge density $\rho'$ be at rest inside a frame of reference ...

Is there a mathematical limit to the summation of infinitesimal magnetic and electric field in the Lorentz Force?
The addition of infinitesimally small parallel electric and magnetc fields, irrespective of their origin or source, or physical feasibilty; seems to produce a seemingly impossibly large force. Or at ...

Regarding the Lorentz force:
I know that the Lorentz Force law states that:
$\vec{F} = q\vec{E}+q\vec{v} \times \vec{B}$
And then for the magnitude of the force, where $q_2$ is the moving charge:
$E = F/q_2$, and therefore $E =...
