The formal identity in the two expression is maybe just due to the fact that it is the easiest way to add a velocity dependent force in a Lagrangian. Let’s look at this more formally, in the framework...

A comment about this answer: as I now think about it, this answer really gives a motivation, starting from some gauge theory assumptions, for why a uniform magnetic field should cause a moving charged...

I couldn't help but notice that the expression for the magnetic component of the Lorentz force,$$\mathbf F = q\,\mathbf v \times \mathbf B\,,$$is very similar in its mathematical form to the Coriolis...
