If a charge '\(q\)' moves with velocity \(v\), in a region where electric field (\(E\)) and magnetic field (\(B\)) both exist, then force on it is: 
1. \(q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})\)

2. \(q \vec{E}+{q}(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})\)

3. \( q \vec{E}+q(\vec{B} \times \vec{v})\)

4. \(q\vec{B}+{q}(\vec{E} \times \vec{v})\)
