Lorentz Force Law
Why is it interesting?
Layman
Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party.
Student
In this section things should be explained by analogy and with pictures and, if necessary, some formulas.
Researcher
The classical mechanics of an electron propagating in an electromagnetic field on a spacetime X is all encoded in a differential 2-form on X, called the Faraday tensor F, which encodes the classical Lorentz force that the electromagnetic field exerts on the electron.https://arxiv.org/abs/1601.05956
For a derivation, using the Ehrenfest theorem, see http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~bob/PHYS517/Ehrenfest.pdf
