NEETPhysicsMagnetic Effects of Current
The figure shows three situations when an electron with velocity ( v ) travels through a uniform magnetic field ( B ). In each case, what is the direction of magnetic force on the electron?
Options
- A+vez-axis, - vex-axis, + ve y-axis
- B-ve z-axis, - ve (x )-axis and zero
- C+ ve z-axis, + vey-axis and zero
- D- ve z-axis, + ve ( x )-axis and zero
Correct answer
B. -ve z-axis, - ve (x )-axis and zero
Step-by-step solution
According to Fleming's Right hand Rule In (1) force is in (-z ) axis In (2) force is in - (x )-axis In (3) force is zero because ( F = q ( v B )= qvB 180 ) i.e. (F=0 )
