2. Charged Particles Moving in Electric and Magnetic Fields
Net force is the sum of the electric and magnetic force
F = qE + qv x B

3. Velocity Selector: an instrument that allows particles of a certain speed to move through.
It contains a uniform electric field that is perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field.

4. Velocity Selector When net force=0 F = qE + qv x B =0 qE = qv x B
v = E / B
An entering particle of this speed will continue moving straight across the plates.
If the particle has a different speed, then the magnetic force will be different and the net force will not be zero.
