When strong magnetic field is applied on a stationary electron, the electron: |
moves in the direction of the field. moves in opposite direction of the field. starts spinning. remains stationary. |
remains stationary. |
The correct answer is Option (4) → remains stationary. When a strong magnetic field is applied to a stationary electron, the electron remains stationary because the magnetic force on the electron is zero. Lorentz force, $F=q(v×B)$ $=q(0×B)$ [$v=0$ (stationary)] $=0$ |
