An electron beam can be curved into a loop using a magnetic field with flux lines at right angles to the electron beam. These electrons have a high kinetic energy leaving the electron gun.
My question is how would a magnetic field effect motionless charged particles for example a cloud of negatively ionised gas, would it also form into a loop. I'm thinking of the auroral oval around the Earth's poles
