An electron of charge q = -c is first traveling perpendicular to a constant electric field. Illustrate a diagram depicting the trajectory of the electron, and name the shape of the trajectory (whether it's linear, circular, parabolic, hyperbolic, or elliptical). Explain why the electron has the trajectory you found out.
