electromagnetism - Is the Lorentz force expression valid for magnetic field created by a magnetic monopole?



Will the Lorentz force expression be valid for a magnetic field created by a magnetic monopole?


I haven't seen any derivation of Lorentz force expression yet and I don't know whether it was derived applying Lorentz transformations to field created by charge particles.


But if this is the case then magnetic field created by moving charges of course has zero divergence ,as we know (not same as magnetic field of a monopole) and a magnetic monopole can create magnetic field even when it is at rest. So should the Lorentz force expression be applied in the case of magnetic field by a monopole?


Edit:I was talking about the force on a charge particle due to magnetic field created by a monopole.


$$F=q_e(v \times B)$$
