NEET2023PhysicsMagnetic Effects of CurrentActual
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 right of direction of motion
- DWill turn towards left of direction of motion
Correct answer
A. Speed will decrease
Step-by-step solution
Given condition is shown in figure Force due to magnetic field is given by F_m=q v B Here =0 F_m=0 Force due to electric field is F _e=q E Here, F _e=-e E Force due to electric field will be opposite to the direction of motion. Hence its speed will decrease.
