Situations in which an electron will be affected by an external electric field but will not be affected by an external magnetic field
a ) When an electron is stationary in the electric field and magnetic field , he will be affected by electric field but not by magnetic field. Magnetic field can exert force only on mobile charges.
b ) When the electron is moving parallel to electric field and magnetic field . In this case also electric field will exert force on electron but magnetic field field will not exert force on electrons . Magnetic field can exert force only on the perpendicular component of the velocity of charged particles.
Situations when electron is affected by an external magnetic field but not by an external electric field
There is no such situation in which electric field will not affect an electron . It will always affect an electron .
A rift valley is a lowland region formed by the interaction of Earth's tectonic plates. This small rift valley has a typical formation—long, narrow, and deep. It was formed by the Thingvellir rift, where the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates are tearing, or rifting, apart over a hotspot on the island of Iceland.
