What is the correct description of the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on a high-speed electron in space far from all material objects and free of electric and magnetic fields?
Options
- AZero force, since there are no material objects, electric fields, or magnetic fields in space.
- BA force in the direction of the electron's velocity, since it has kinetic energy.
- CA force in the opposite direction of the electron's velocity, slowing it down.
- DA force perpendicular to the electron's velocity, causing it to change direction.
Correct answer
A. Zero force, since there are no material objects, electric fields, or magnetic fields in space.
Step-by-step solution
Correct Option is : (A) Zero force, since there are no material objects, electric fields, or magnetic fields in space.
