An electron is moving along the positive x-axis. If uniform magnetic field is applied parallel to the negative z-axis, then A.The electron will experience magnetic force along positive y-axis B.The electron will experience magnetic force along negative y-axis C.The electron will not experience any force in magnetic field D.The electron will continue to move along the positive x-axis E.The electron will move along cir
Options
- AA and E only
- BC and D only
- CB and E only
- DB and D only
Correct answer
C. B and E only
Step-by-step solution
The Lorentz force is given by F → = q v → × B → = - e v → × B → So, F ^ = i ^ × k ^ = - j ^ . F →   is    along  - y  axis  As the magnetic field is perpendicular to the velocity, motion would be circular.
