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

An electron is projected with uniform velocity along the axis inside a current carrying long solenoid. Then :

  1. A the electron will be accelerated along the axis.
  2. B the electron will continue to move with uniform velocity along the axis of the solenoid.
  3. C the electron path will be circular about the axis.
  4. D the electron will experience a force at \(45^{\circ}\) to the axis and execute a helical path.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) the electron will continue to move with uniform velocity along the axis of the solenoid.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since \(\vec{v} \| \vec{B}\) so force on electron due to magnetic field is zero. So it will move along axis with uniform velocity.
