Changes
  • Changed the skin color.
  • Changed the font and placement of the v, B, and F labels.
  • Removed the right-hand side of the equation for F.
  • Removed the angle arc and label between the velocity and magnetic field vectors.
  • Added two right angles: one between the velocity and force vectors, and one between the magnetic field and force vectors.
