Question

An electron is projected vertically upward with a speed of 1.60×106m/s into a uniform magnetic field of 0.540 T that is directed horizontally away from the observer.

Describe the electron's path in this field:

A) The electron will move in a straight line with acceleration.

B) The electron will move in a clockwise circular path if viewed in the direction of the magnetic field.

C) The electron will move in a straight line without acceleration.

D)The electron will move in a counterclockwise circular path if viewed in the direction of the magnetic field.

Explanation / Answer

B) The electron will move in a clockwise circular path if viewed in the direction of the magnetic field.
