If a particle moves in the +x direction with velocity [tex]v[/tex] in a box that has either a magnetic field or an electric field, and later it is moving in the +y direction with velocity [tex]v + 5[/tex], what field is in the box?So it would be an electric field because magnetic fields can't change speed?
