... In the presence of only uniform magnetic field B , the motion of a charged particle can be described with gyration about the guiding center and motion along the field line. ... In the precence of both magnetic and electric fields, the equation of motion for charged particle (mass m, charge q) is m d v /dt = q ( E + v x B ). ... Because v is independent of the mass and sign of the charge, it is the same for negatively and positively charged particles, and does not create electric current. ...
