f an electron moves in a magnetic field, it always feels a force. it only feels a force if its velocity vector is parallel (or antiparallel) to the direction of the magnetic field. it only feels a force if its velocity vector is not parallel (or antiparallel) to the direction of the magnetic field. it does not feel a force if it is in motion, only if stationary.
