An electron moves perpendicular to a magnetic field as shown in the figure. What would be the direction of force experienced on the electron ?

Open in App

Solution

According to Fleming's left-hand rule, the direction of the force is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field and current. We know that the direction of current is taken opposite to the direction of motion of electrons. Therefore, the force is directed upwards from the plane of the paper.
