Question

An electron is moving along positive xaxis. To get it moving on an anticlockwise circular path in xy plane, a magnetic field is applied
  1. along positive yaxis
  2. along positive zaxis
  3. along negative yaxis
  4. along negative zaxis

A
along positive yaxis
B
along positive zaxis
C
along negative yaxis
D
along negative zaxis
Solution
Verified by Toppr

For the particle to move anti-clockwise, force should be in ^j direction.

F=e(v×B)=e(v^i×B)

B=B^k since LHS is in ^j direction.
