If a charged particle moves in a uniform magnetic field with its velocity at some arbitrary angle with respect to B, its path is a helix
{"Image DocumentName": "If a charged particle moves in a uniform magnetic field with its velocity at some arbitrary angle with respect to B, its path is a helix", "Image ImageDescription": "if the field is directed in the x direction, as shown in Figure, there is no component of force in the x direction. As a result, ax =0, and the x component of velocity remains constant. However, the magnetic force q v x B causes the components vy and vz to change in time, and the resulting motion is a helix whose axis is parallel to the magnetic field. The projection of the path onto the yz plane (viewed along the x axis) is a circle.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
