A uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field are acting along the same direction in a certain region. If an electron is projected along the direction of the fields with a certain velocity then
it will turn towards right of direction of motion
it will turn towards left of direction of motion
its velocity will decrease
its velocity will increase
As we learnt in
Magnetic force If θ = 0° or θ = 180° -
F=0
-
Magnetic field applied parallel to motion of electron exerts no force on it as and force = Bevsin = zero
Electric field opposes motion of electron which carries a negative charge
velocity of electron decreases.
