# Abnormal deflection of electrons crossing the boundary of two opposite magnetic fields

## TL;DR

This paper investigates an unusual electron deflection at the boundary of opposite magnetic fields, revealing a phenomenon opposite to Lorentz force explained by electron rotation and a mechanical model, with implications for electromagnetic theory.

## Contribution

It introduces a mechanical model replacing potential energy with rotational kinetic energy to explain abnormal electron deflection in magnetic fields.

## Key findings

- Electron deflection opposite to Lorentz force observed at magnetic boundary
- Mechanical model explains deflection via electron rotation
- Derived Maxwell's equations incorporating the new effect

## Abstract

This paper reports an experiment about abnormal deflection of cathode-ray in odd-symmetric magnetic field. The measurement results show that during cathode-ray passes through odd-symmetric magnetic field, a deflection opposite to Lorentz force occurs at the boundary of two opposite magnetic fields. It can be explained by the inertial effect of the electron rotating on its axis in magnetic field, and Lorentz force is similar to the Magnus effect in fluid. In this paper, a mechanical model that replaces potential energy with rotational kinetic energy is used to calculate the force exerted on an electron and a proton under different conditions, and the Maxwell's equations of electromagnetic field are derived.
