MCQ
A uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field are produced, pointed in the same direction. An electron is projected with its velocity pointing in the same direction
  • A
    The electron will turn to its right
  • B
    The electron will turn to its left
  • C
    The electron velocity will increase in magnitude
  • The electron velocity will decrease in magnitude

Answer

Correct option: D.
The electron velocity will decrease in magnitude
d
(d) Since electron is moving is parallel to the magnetic field, hence magnetic force on it ${F_m} = 0$.
The only force acting on the electron is electric force which reduces it’s speed.
