Moving Charges and Magnetism

  1. A beam of electron passes undeflected through mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields. If the electric field is switched off, and the same magnetic field is maintained, the electrons move
    1. ​in a circular orbit
    2. along a parabolic path
    3. along a straight line ​
    4. in an elliptical orbit.
Correct Option: A

​If the electric field is switched off, and the same magnetic field is maintained, the electrons move in a circular orbit and electron will travel a magnetic field ⊥ to its velocity.
