An electron projected with velocity v =v_0 i in the electric field...
An electron projected with velocity in the electric field . Trace the path followed by the electron .
Options
- AParabola
- BCircle
- CStraight line in direction.
- DStraight line in direction.
Correct answer
A. Parabola
Step-by-step solution
Since,
The electron is moving in -direction perpendicular to the electric field which is in -direction.
Thus, the path of electron moving perpendicular to field will be a parabola.
