Question
A free electron is placed in the path of a plane electromagnetic wave. The electron will start moving:
✓

Answer

  1. Along the electric field.
Explanation:
As the electron is at rest initially, only the electric field will exert force on it. There will be no magnetic force on the electron in the stating. Hence, the electron will start moving along the electric field.
