Time evolution of a nonthermal electron. Top panel: energy gain Δγe = γeγ1 (red) and work done by Ex (green) and Ey (blue). Middle panel: three velocity βx (green) and βy (blue). Bottom panel: total force − e(Ex + βyBz) (red), electrostatic force − eEx (green), and Lorentz force − eβyBz (blue) at the electron position.
