The principle that describes the force on a charge in a magnetic field was named for Hendrik Lorentz, and the principle is named as Lorentz force.

Hendrik Antoon Lorentz (18 July 1853 – 4 February 1928) was a Dutch physicist who shared the 1902 Nobel Prize in Physics with Pieter Zeeman for the discovery and theoretical explanation of the Zeeman effect.
