Question
An electron moving through a magnetic field does not experience any force. Under what condition is this possible?
Solution
The force acting on a charged particle in the presence of a magnetic field is given by,
F = qvB sin θ
So either electron is moving parallel to the direction of the magnetic field or it is at rest.
F = qvB sin θ
So either electron is moving parallel to the direction of the magnetic field or it is at rest.
