Question

In the given figure the electron enters into the magnetic field. It deflects towards

• A. Positive x-direction
• B. Negative x-direction
• C. Positive y-direction
• D. Negative y-direction

Answer 1

The correct option is D Negative y-direction

Electron is moving in positive x-direction and so the conventional current will be along Negative x-direction.
$\therefore$ using fleming’s left-hand rule, the electron will feel the force in the negative y-direction.
