Particles in Magnetic Fields
Storyboard

Electric charges moving in a magnetic field are deflected perpendicular to the direction in which they move and in which the magnetic field points.

The force acting on the particle depends on the charge, the velocity and the magnetic field is called the Lorentz force.
