Question

a magnetic field directed in north direction acts on an electron moving in east direction . the magnetic force on the electrn will act ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

A magnetic field directed in north direction acts on an electron moving in east direction. The magnetic force on the electron will actImmersive Reader (a) vertically upwards.

Answer 2

If a magnetic field is directed in the north direction acts on an electron moving in the east direction, then by Fleming's left-hand rule the magnetic force on the electron will act vertically downward.

Explanation:

• An electron that is moving towards east direction enters a magnetic field and change in direction causes it to be directed towards north.
• Direction of force on the electron is the direction towards the hand palm.
• Magnetic field direction,  direction of the force on the particle and direction of the moving charge are all mutually perpendicular to each other.
• The electric field points in the direction of force which is a positive charge.
• Then an electron moves towards the left direction because it moves in the direction of negative charge.
