An electron is moving in a constant magnetic field, does it experience a magnetic force? And will the velocity and direction of that electron change?
Conceptually I'm having trouble understanding magnetism and right hand rule.

Answer:
Magnetic fields exert forces on charged particles in motion.
The direction of the magnetic force
F
is perpendicular to the plane formed by
v
and
B
as determined by the right hand rule.
The SI unit for magnitude of the magnetic field strength is called the tesla (T), which is equivalent to one Newton per ampere-meter. Sometimes the smaller unit gauss (10-4 T) is used instead.
When the expression for the magnetic force is combined with that for the electric force, the combined expression is known as the Lorentz force.
