The Lorentz force F acts on every single charge carrier q moving with the drift velocity v. We can understand the force acting on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field as the sum of the individual forces acting on the moving charge carriers which make up the current. The Lorentz force F is also a vectorial quantity, and is perpendicular to the plane defined by v and B. A force F acts on a charge q passing through a magnetic field B with a velocity v the size of the force depends on the strength and direction of the magnetic field. Magnetic flux density, or more simply the magnetic field B, is a vectorial quantity.
