A strong magnetic field is applied on a stationary electron :

  1. A The electron moves in the direction of the field
  2. B The electron moves in an opposite direction
  3. C The electron remains stationary
  4. D The electron starts spinning
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) The electron remains stationary

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The magnetic force on a charged particle is given by the formula \(\vec{F}=q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})\). Since the electron is stationary, its velocity \((v)\) is zero, making the net magnetic force zero. Therefore, the electron experiences no push or pull and remains at rest. C)…
