in another thread the formula of lorentz force was mentioned.
now i know the the pythagorean theorem is used to show the resulting displacement i.e. i walk 10 m up and 10 m right = 45 degree to east right?
i don't know if i'm right, but doesn't a magnetic field act with the same force from all directions on an object? so if an object travels through a magnetic field, is only its speed affected? or the direction too?
