The effects of the magnetic field on a charged particle
   
   In the visual, you can see an oscilloscope, an instrument in which a beam of electrons is deflected by variable magnetic fields, according to the user's intention. Test the different possibilities (especially frx and fry) and then click on    to study the effect of a magnetic force on a charged particle in detail. You can also use and  to carry out the study with well known elementary particles.
