Comparing 3 force fields

pic taken from cmbi.ru.nl
Comparing 3 force fields:
The vector direction at a point away from source is
g - towards the mass
E - towards the charge if negative.
B - clockwise if current flow into page.
*****************
Uniform(constant) fields exist
g- a few km apart
E - within parallel plates
B- inside a solenoid carrying current.
**************
Force is present
g- on a mass placed at that point in the direction of g
E - on a charge placed at that point in the direction of E if the charge is positive
B - on a moving charge placed at that point in the direction determined by Flemings LHR.
