A uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field are acting along the same direction in a certain region. If an electron is projected in the region such that its velocity is pointed along the direction of fields, then the electron
Options
- Aspeed will decrease
- Bspeed will increase
- Cwill turn towards left of direction of motion
- Dwill turn towards right of direction a motion
Correct answer
A. speed will decrease
Step-by-step solution
Field B not applied only force. Field E will apply a force opposite to velocity of the electron hence, speed will decreases.
