Current Electricity

Question
CBSEENPH12039939

A uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field are acting along the same direction in a certain region. If an electron is projected in the region such that its velocity is pointed along direction of fields, then the electron

  • speed will decrease

  • speed will increase

  • will turn towards the left of the direction of motion

  • will turn towards the right of direction a motion

Solution

A.

speed will decrease

Field B is not applied only force. Field E will apply a force opposite to velocity of the electron hence, speed will decrease.
