Why do like electrical charges repel and opposite charges attract? Is it to do with obtaining lower energy levels through movement?

Ok, so the Lorentz force acts on moving charge carriers in magnetic fields. But why? How does a magnetic flux affect an electrically charged particle?

I'm having difficulty with this whole concept I understand that the Lorentz force is the force acting on a charged particle in a magnetic field, and that it is the resultant of the forces due to the electic field and the magnetic field. The situation which I am applying this to is a...

End Thanks all, that's perfect

Hey, As part of an investigation, I constructed a basic centrifuge consisting of a fast rotating beaker filled with liquid. I have observed that an increased angular velocity forces the liquid out of the centre and further up the sides of the centrifuge, as expected. However, I am having...
