Charged Particle Moving Along Parallel E and B Fields

This animation shows a charged particle launched parallel to both an electric field and a magnetic field that point in the same direction. Since velocity stays parallel to B, the magnetic force (qv×B) vanishes entirely, leaving only the electric force to act. The particle accelerates in a straight line, demonstrating why alignment with B nullifies magnetic effects. Useful for Plus Two students studying motion of charges in combined fields.
