Moving to another question will save this response. Question 5 The Lorentz force on a charge in a magnetic field is described by the equation F = qvXB where F, v, and B are vectors (have direction) and the "X" tells us what direction F is if we know the directions of v and B. Is there a direction of the charge's motion that would result in no force at all? Yes, there is no force if the motion is parallel to the field. No, there is no direction in which there is no force. Yes, there is no force if the motion is perpendicular to the field. There is still a force even with no motion
