Negativ geladener Ladungsträger (z.B. ein Elektron) bewegt sich durch ein homogenes Magnetfeld $$B$$ eines Hufeisenmagneten und zwar unter einem beliebigen Winkel $$\alpha$$ zwischen der Geschwindigkeit $$v$$ und den magnetischen Feldlinien. Negatively charged charge carrier (e.g. an electron) moves through a homogeneous magnetic field $$B$$ of a horseshoe magnet with an arbitrary angle $$\alpha$$ between the direction of velocity vector $$v$$ and the magnetic field lines.

Furthermore, in this sketch, the velocity vector $$v$$ has been decomposed into a $$v_\perp$$ velocity component perpendicular to the magnetic field and a parallel $$v_{||}$$ velocity component.
