An electron is moving along the positive -axis. If the uniform magnetic field is applied parallel to the negative -axis, then [2023]
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 circular path in magnetic field
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
(1)
Force will be along the negative y-axis.
As magnetic force is perpendicular to velocity, the path of the electron must be a circle.
