Question

Why do electrons experience a force that it moves opposite to the direction of an electric field? Explain with a figure if you can.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Opposite charges attract, while like charges repel. ... The electric field is defined as the ratio of the electric force to the charge it's acting on: . So, the field is in the same direction as the force for positive charges, but the opposite direction for negative charges, like electrons.

hope it helps!!!!

PLZ MARK ME AS BRAINLIEST!!!!!

Answer 2

Explanation:

According to Fleming's left-hand rule, the direction of the force is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field and current. We know that the direction of current is taken opposite to the direction of motion of electrons. Therefore, the force is directed upwards from the plane of the paper.

Hope this solves your doubt.
