An electron moving in the positive y direction at right angles to a magnetic field, experiences a magnetic force in the negative x direction.

An electron moving in the positive y direction at right angles to a magnetic field, experiences a magnetic force in the negative x direction. what is the direction of the magnetic field?

a) it is in the negative z direction

b) it is in the postive y direction

c)it is in the positive z direction

d) it is in the negative x direction

e) it is in the postive x direction

Solutions

Expert Solution

electron moves in positive y direction

magnetic feild is perpendicular to the electron

magnetic force in the negative x direction

using right hand rule

magnetic force is given as

Force =q * V X B

now, v = v * j

Force = - F i

as the charge on the electron is negative ,

the field is out of the page , c)it is in the positive z direction
