What is the behavior of a charged particle moving in a region where the electric field $\vec{E}$ and magnetic field $\vec{B}$ are perpendicular to each other?

  • A
    The particle will always move in a straight line.
  • B
    The particle will always move in a circular path.
  • C
    The particle may move in a straight line if the forces balance each other.
  • D
    The particle will always come to rest.
