When electron beam passes through an electric field, they gain kinetic energy. If the same beam passes through magnetic field, then
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Because magnetic force always points perpendicular to the particle velocity. That is why velocity remains unchanged thereby keeping energy 
and momentum ( 
) unchanged.
