Review

The SI units of magnetic field are tesla (T). In Equation 19-1, if charge q is in coulombs (C), speed v is in meters per second (m/s), and magnetic field magnitude B is in tesla (T), the force F is in newtons (N). So 1 T is the same as 1 N s/(Cm) or 1 N/(Am). (Recall that one ampere equals one coulomb per second: 1 A=1 C/s.)
