what will be the path of a charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field with initial velocity perpendicular to the field?

Open in App

Solution

when electron enters the magnetic field a perpendicular force will act on the electron.so the the path of the electron will be the resultant of two motion one is due to initial velocity and other is due to the force acting,S the resultant path will be a parabola
