The figure shows three situations when an electron with velocity 
travels through a uniform magnetic field 
. In each case, what is the direction of magnetic force on the electron?
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
According to fleming left hand rule in and magnetic force on the electron will be directed in negative 
axis and negative 
axis respectively velocity of elctron and direction of magnetic field are anti parallel so no force will act on electron
