A charged artificial satellite moving relative to a magnetic field accelerates in a direction perpendicular to its velocity and the magnetic field due to the Lorentz force. The geomagnetic field is considered as a multipole potential field and the satellite electrical charged is supposed to be constant. The study is provided to compute Lorentz force acceleration of a charged satellite in Earth's magnetic field as a function of orbital elements of the satellite. Periodic perturbations in the orbital elements of the satellite are derived using Lagrange planetary equations. Numerical results for a chosen satellites orbit shows the most effects of Lorentz force are in semi major axis, eccentricity, and the longitude of the satellite, but there aren't any effects of the force on the inclination and the argument of the perigee of the satellite elements.
