Problem
A positively charged particle is moving through mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields such that it travels in a straight line. The magnetic field is suddenly switched off while the electric field remains unchanged. Describe qualitatively how the particle’s path will change immediately after the magnetic field is removed.
