The influence of the forces that control the ion dynamics inside a magnetized plasma sheath under collisionless conditions is analyzed. Considering the ionization, the effects of the variation of field strength and the inclination angle on the force fields inside the sheath are studied. The pitch length and pitch angle for the particle velocity fields are also calculated and have been found to vary widely with the inclination angle and the strength of the magnetic field. The role of the Lorentz force and energy acquired by the ions while moving towards the wall is highlighted. A comparison between two different ion sources has also been foregrounded.
