4.Moving Charges and Magnetism
easy
An electron is moving along positive $x$-axis. To get it moving on an anticlockwise circular path in $x-y$ plane, a magnetic filed is applied
A
Along positive $y$-axis
B
Along positive $z$-axis
C
Along negative $y$-axis
D
Along negative $z$-axis
Solution
(b) To move the electron in $xy$ plane, force on it must be acting in the $y$-direction initially. The direction of $\vec F$ is known, and the direction of $v$ is known, hence by applying Fleming's left hand rule, the direction of magnetic field is also determined.
