Problem
An electron is moving at a constant velocity in a region of space with a uniform electric field of 1.0·10³ N/C and a uniform magnetic field of 1.0·10⁻³T. The electric field has only an x-component while the magnetic field has only a y-component. Sketch a vector diagram for the velocity of the electron, the magnetic field, and the electric field in the Cartesian system of coordinates.
