NEET Physics Magnetic Force on a Charged Particle Multiple Correct Question
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
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
B and E only
A and E only
C and D only
B and D only
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
Using the right-hand rule, the force on the electron is along the positive y-axis, and it moves in a circular path due to the magnetic field.
