If velocity of an electron is \((2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j}) ms ^{-1}\) and it enters in the magnetic field of \(4 \hat{k} T\), then _________.

  1. A it will move in the opposite direction to the magnetic field.
  2. B it will move in the direction of the magnetic field.
  3. C its speed will change.
  4. D direction of its velocity will change.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) direction of its velocity will change.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

D
Here, \(\vec{v}=2 \hat{i}+3 \hat{j} ms^{-1}\) and \(\overrightarrow{ B }=4 \dot{k} T\)
Thus \(\vec{u} \perp \vec{B}\)
Hence direction of its velocity will change.
