Electric force
Magnetic force
Kinetic energy
The electric force is constant and does work, so the speed changes.
The magnetic force is always perpendicular to the velocity, so it changes
direction but never speed. The speed graph stays flat whenever the
electric field is off.
In the crossed-field arrangement the particle passes straight through
only when the two forces balance, at v = E/B.
