Question

An electron moving with velocity v toward the bottom edge of the paper enters a region ofuniform magnetic field directed out of the paper. When the electronenters this region, it will be deflected in which direction?

The options are:

1) Out of the plane of the paper
2) Toward the top edge of the paper
3) Toward the bottom edge of the paper
4)Toward the right edge of the paper
5)Into the plane of the paper
6)Toward the left plane of the paper.

If someone could provide an answer with an explanation that wouldbe greatly appreciated

Explanation / Answer

An electron moving with velocity v toward thebottom edge of the paper enters aregion of uniform magnetic field directed out of the paper. Whenthe electron enters this region, it will be deflected in the belowgiven direction.

    2)Toward the right edge of the paper.

This according to theFlemming's right hand rule. According to that current direction isperpendicular to the field direction.
