I got sucked into the page on a website about magnets. It got into stuff about magnetic force on a moving charge. It said that the force on the charge is perpendicular to the magnetic field and the velocity of the charge. I got very confused because it called this force the "magnetic force" and it was clearly discerning it from the magnetic field. I had always considered the magnetic force to be what I felt when I brought two magnets together. Yet the force I feel doesn’t appear to be perpendicular to the magnetic field between the two magnets. So anyway... is there a difference between force and field?
Here's a link to the page I found this stuff on
