phys (0224) - M&G: F = BIlsin@

we went over a formula that calculates the force experienced by a charge running throuhg a magnetic field.

F = BIlsin@

where F = force in newtons (N)
B = strength of magnetic field in teslas (T)
I = current in amperes (A)
l = length of wire in metres (m)
sin@ = sine of theta.. which is @.. the angle of the wire against the field
