Question

An electron having a charge $e$ moves with a velocity $v$ in X-direction. An electric field acts on it in Y-direction. The force on the electron acts in

• A. Positive direction $Y-axis$
• B. Negative direction $Y-axis$
• C. Positive direction $Z-axis$
• D. Negative direction $Z-axis$

Answer 1

The correct option is B Negative direction $Y-axis$

The force on the electron in a electric field is always in the direction opposite to the direction of E.F.

$\therefore$ It will experience force in negative $Y-$axis.
