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

$\overrightarrow{ F }=- e (\overrightarrow{ v } \times \overrightarrow{ B })$

Force will be along $-ve$ $y-$axis.

As magnetic force is $\perp$ to velocity, path of electron must be a circle.
