The discussion centers on the position of a spot in an oscilloscope when subjected to parallel electric (E) and magnetic (B) fields. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the Lorentz force equation to clarify why the spot does not appear in the center, despite the parallel nature of the fields. The correct answer to the posed question is identified as option D. A lack of effort in demonstrating understanding of the relevant equations is noted as a barrier to further assistance.
PREREQUISITESStudents studying physics, particularly those focusing on electromagnetism, as well as educators seeking to clarify concepts related to oscilloscopes and field interactions.

delsoo said:Homework Statement
for this question, since direction of B and E are parallel, why the spot isn't situated in the middle? since sin 0 =0... or my concept is wrong ? can someone explain please?
