MCQ
The figure shows three situations when an electron with velocity $\vec v$ travels through a nuniform magnetic field $\vec B$ . In each case, what is the direction of magnetic force on the electron?
  • A
    positive $z-$ axis, negative $x-$ axis, positive $y-$ axis
  • negative $z-$ axis, negative $x-$ axis and zero
  • C
    positive $z-$ axis, positive $y-$ axis and zero
  • D
    negative $z-$ axis, positive $x-$ axis and zero

Answer

Correct option: B.
negative $z-$ axis, negative $x-$ axis and zero
b
Force on electron= $q\left( {\vec v \times \vec B} \right) = e\left( {\vec B \times \vec v} \right)$
