Magnetic forces are always perpendicular to the direction of motion. Because the Lorentz force $F$ is derived from the cross product of velocity $v$ and the magnetic field $B$, the resulting force vector is orthogonal to the particle's instantaneous displacement. In physics, work is only performed when a force has a component in the direction of motion; since the magnetic force lacks this component, it does no work ( $W=0$ ). Consequently, while a magnetic field can deflect a particle and change its trajectory, it cannot change the particle's kinetic energy or speed.

🧮Sequence Diagram: Mechanics and Simulation of Cyclotron Particle Acceleration

The sequence typically follows a pattern where the Theory dictates the forces to the Sim, the Sim executes thousands of incremental steps to model the motion, and the Visuals finally present the results to the User to confirm that the simulation accurately reflects real-world physics.
