Masses in uniform gravitational fields follow a parabolic path. Charges in uniform electric fields also follow parabolic paths. But charges in magnetic fields display circular motion if their velocity is perpendicular to the field lines. And what if there is a combination of fields? Moving charges experience a force in a magnetic field, and both the direction and magnitude of this force can be determined using rules:...
