If I have a charged particle traveling into a constant B field it will bend its path and emit cyclotron
radiation. If a magnetic field can't do work then what caused the charged particle to change its kinetic energy. I guess if I was in the electrons rest frame their would be an E field in that frame.
Its just not clear to me what's going on.
