JIPMER2017PhysicsMagnetic Effects of Current
A uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field acting along the same direction in a certain region. If an electron is projected along the direction of the fields with a certain velocity, then
Options
- Ait will turn towards left of direction of motion.
- Bit will turn towards right of direction of motion.
- Cits velocity will increase.
- Dits velocity will decrease.
Correct answer
D. its velocity will decrease.
Step-by-step solution
The magnetic field will not apply any force on the electron. On the other hand, the electric field will apply a force on the electron in opposite direction of the motion. As a result, the velocity of the electron will decrease.
