The force exerted by a magnetic field on a ________ charge or current-carrying wire, always acting ________ to both the velocity/current and the magnetic field.
A mnemonic rule used to determine the ________ of the magnetic force on a charge or current, or the direction of the magnetic field produced by a ________.
A law used to calculate the magnetic field from a tiny segment of ________, often involving vector ________.
