| vector field quantity B which exerts on any charged particle having velocity v a force F equal to the product of the vector product v x B and the electric charge Q of the particle:
F = Qv x B
NOTE 1 – The divergence of B is zero at all points:
div B = 0
NOTE 2 – The magnetic flux density B is sometimes called “magnetic field”, risking confusion with the magnetic field strength H .
