Cathode rays in magneticfield.
A charged particle is fired into a region with controllable a magnetic field. The magnetic field points into or out of the view depending on the sign of Bz.
Enter the Bz value
Bz=
and press the play button to change the field. Observe the force vector on the particle. The value of Bz is constrained to -0.5 < Bz < 0.5
