The answer key says the electron curves downwards, why does it not move in circular path since its velocity is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field 40. In Figure 10, an electron is travelling to the left and moves into a magnetic field directed out of the page. Describe the path of the particle through the field. (8.2) Figure 10
