An electron moving with velocity
Answer to Problem 1FTD
Explanation of Solution
Write the equation to find the force acting on a particle in magnetic field.
Here,
From the equation we can see that both velocity vector and magnetic field vector are perpendicular to each other and they are both perpendicular to the force.
Therefore all the three vectors are perpendicular to each other.
Conclusion:
Therefore, vectors
