Why is it that an electron traveling under the influence of a magnetic field (i.e electron going from left to right and B field going into the page) will travel in the arc of a circle
yet when an electric field alone is applied (say up page and the direction of motion of the electron is the same) the electron will travel in a parabolic path? when in both cases, a force is exerted on the electron is downwards?
