6.11 understand that there is a force on a charged particle when it moves in a magnetic field as long as its motion is not parallel to the field

if something with a charge is moving across a magnetic field, it will experience a force from the field. Unless of course it is parallel in which case it wont need to as it is already in a place the field would want to move it to.

  3. So if you have a charged particle like an ion moving around, it could move in a path over a magnetic field.

    If it moves over the lines of the field like crossing speed bumps the magnetic field will exert a force on the particle (affecting it's movement).

    The particle may move over the field in the same direction of the lines like going down a train track and in this case it will not be affected by the field.
