An electron is projected with uniform velocity along the axis of a current carrying long solenoid. Which of the following is true ? |
The electron will be accelerated along the axis The electron path will be circular about the axis The electron will have helical path The electron will continue to move with uniform velocity along the axis of the solenoid |
The electron will continue to move with uniform velocity along the axis of the solenoid |
Magnetic field due to current carrying solenoid is along the axis of the solenoid. If electron is projected along the axis of the solenoid hence angle between velocity of electron and magnetic field is zero hence force on electron is zero. Electron will continue to move along the axis with uniform velocity. |
