An electron is projected with uniform velocity along the axis inside a current carrying long solenoid. Then :
Options
- Athe electron will continue to move with uniform velocity along the axis of the solenoid.
- Bthe electron will be accelerated along the axis.
- Cthe electron path will be circular about the axis.
- Dthe electron will experience a force at 45^ to the axis and execute a helical path.
Correct answer
A. the electron will continue to move with uniform velocity along the axis of the solenoid.
Step-by-step solution
Since v | B so force on electron due to magnetic field is zero. So it will move along axis with uniform velocity.
