An electron is moving with constant velocity along $x$ -axis. If a uniform electric field is applied along $y$ -axis, then its path in the $x - y$ plane will be :
a straight line
a circle
a parabola
an ellipse

If a uniform electric field is applied in y-direction - then a force acts in the -x2212-y-xA0-direction for the moving electron- Thus the case is thus of a projectile and the path is a parabola-

An electron is moving with constant velocity along x -axis. If a uniform electric field is applied along y -axis, then its path in the x−y plane will be :a straight linea circlea parabolaan ellipse

If a uniform electric field is applied in y-direction , then a force acts in the −y direction for the moving electron. Thus the case is thus of a projectile and the path is a parabola.

If a uniform electric field is applied in $y$ -direction , then a force acts in the $- y$ direction for the moving electron. Thus the case is thus of a projectile and the path is a parabola.
