As an engineer I agree, so it must be true :)
Does an electron have less energy in a circular path than a straight
one. You are pumping energy into the system so I would have thought
that it would be a gain in energy for the electron and a loss of
energy to the magnetic field.
BTW I also have problems with credit and debit when working on
financial systems ;)
