JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 4. Moving charges and magnetism

An electron is moving along the positive \(x\)-axis. If the uniform magnetic field is applied parallel to the negative \(z\)-axis. then \(A.\) 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. A \(B\) and \(E\) only
  2. B \(A\) and \(E\) only
  3. C \(C\) and \(D\) only
  4. D \(B\) and \(D\) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(B\) and \(E\) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\overrightarrow{ F }=- e (\overrightarrow{ v } \times \overrightarrow{ B })\) Force will be along \(-ve\) \(y-\)axis. As magnetic force is \(\perp\) to velocity, path of electron must be a circle.
