An electron is projected along the axis of circular conductor carrying current ' \(I\) ' The electron will experience

  1. A a force perpendicular to axis
  2. B a force along the axis
  3. C a force at angle \(30^{\circ}\) with the axis
  4. D no force
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) no force

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The direction of the magnetic field will be along the axis. The angle between the velocity and the magnetic field will be \(0^{\circ}\) or \(180^{\circ}\). The force is given by \(\mathrm{F}=\mathrm{qvB} \sin \theta\)
If \(\theta=0^{\circ}\) or \(180^{\circ}, \mathrm{F}=0\)
