What happens when a strong magnetic field is applied to a stationary electron?
It never exerts a force on a charged particle
Under what circumstance does a stationary electron exert a force on a charged particle in a strong magnetic field?

When does an electron in a strong magnetic field exert a force on a charged particle?
When it's moving along the magnetic lines of force
In what situation does a stationary electron in a strong magnetic field exert no force on a charged particle?
When the charged particle is stationary
What does not affect the motion of a moving electron?
Electric field applied in the direction of motion
Which type of field does not impact the motion of a moving electron?
Electric field applied perpendicular to the direction of motion
In which scenario does a moving electron's motion remain unaffected?
Electric field applied perpendicular to the direction of motion
What type of field has no effect on the motion of a moving electron?
