Well, technically any electron passing through a magnetic field is accelerated, whether the field is static or not.
A dynamic magnetic field is required to accelerate a static electron, but if the electron is already moving, then a static field will induce a force on the electron and thus an acceleration. --- "Zell, Chris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Exactly.
