<strong>The</strong> fact that E can be expressed this way is equivalent to one of the four modern<br />

Maxwell's equations, the Maxwell-Faraday equation.<br />

Despite its historical origins in the original set of eight Maxwell's equations, the Lorentz force<br />

is no longer considered to be one of "Maxwell's equations" as the term is currently used (that<br />

is, as reformulated by Heaviside). It now sits adjacent to Maxwell's equations as a separate<br />

<strong>and</strong> essential law.<br />

Significance of the Lorentz force<br />

While the modern Maxwell's equations describe how electrically charged particles <strong>and</strong><br />

objects give rise to electric <strong>and</strong> magnetic fields, the Lorentz force law completes that picture<br />

by describing the force acting on a moving point charge q in the presence of electromagnetic<br />

fields. <strong>The</strong> Lorentz force law describes the effect of E <strong>and</strong> B upon a point charge, but such<br />

electromagnetic forces are not the entire picture. Charged particles are possibly coupled to<br />

other forces, notably gravity <strong>and</strong> nuclear forces. Thus, Maxwell's equations do not st<strong>and</strong><br />

separate from other physical laws, but are coupled to them via the charge <strong>and</strong> current<br />

densities. <strong>The</strong> response of a point charge to the Lorentz law is one aspect; the generation of<br />

E <strong>and</strong> B by currents <strong>and</strong> charges is another.<br />

In real materials the Lorentz force is inadequate to describe the behavior of charged<br />

particles, both in principle <strong>and</strong> as a matter of computation. <strong>The</strong> charged particles in a<br />

material medium both respond to the E <strong>and</strong> B fields <strong>and</strong> generate these fields. Complex<br />

transport equations must be solved to determine the time <strong>and</strong> spatial response of charges,<br />

for example, the Boltzmann equation or the Fokker–Planck equation or the Navier-Stokes<br />

equations. For example, see magnetohydrodynamics, fluid dynamics, electrohydrodynamics,<br />

superconductivity, stellar evolution. An entire physical apparatus for dealing with these<br />

matters has developed. See for example, Green–Kubo relations <strong>and</strong> Green's function<br />

(many-body theory).<br />

Although one might suggest that these theories are only approximations intended to deal<br />

with large ensembles of "point particles", perhaps a deeper perspective is that the chargebearing<br />

particles may respond to forces like gravity, or nuclear forces, or boundary<br />

conditions."<br />

62 "... quadrillion..."<br />

"Quadrillion may mean either of the two numbers:<br />

1,000,000,000,000,000 (one thous<strong>and</strong> million million; 10 15 ; SI prefix peta) - increasingly<br />

common meaning in English language usage.<br />

1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (10 24 ; SI prefix yotta) -<br />

increasingly rare meaning in English language usage."<br />
