Answered by GPT-4o mini
The correct equation used to calculate the magnetic force (\(F\)) on a charge (\(q\)) moving with velocity (\(v\)) in a magnetic field (\(B\)) is:

\[ F = |q| v B \sin(\theta) \]

where \(\theta\) is the angle between the velocity vector of the charge and the magnetic field vector.

Thus, the most appropriate choice based on the provided options is:

**F = |q|vBsin** (assuming \(\theta\) is implicitly understood).
