4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
easy

A uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field are produced, pointed in the same direction. An electron is projected with its velocity pointing in the same direction

A

The electron will turn to its right

B

The electron will turn to its left

C

The electron velocity will increase in magnitude

D

The electron velocity will decrease in magnitude

(AIEEE-2005)

Solution

(d) Since electron is moving is parallel to the magnetic field, hence magnetic force on it ${F_m} = 0$.
The only force acting on the electron is electric force which reduces it’s speed.
