a ) Describe by means of a diagram and a simple equation the force due to: (i) an electric field, (ii) a magnetic field, acting on an electron moving at right angles to each field. Hence, explain how an electric field and a magnetic field may be used in the selection of the velocity of negatively charged particles.
