Question

An electron is projected into a magnetic field along the lines of force. Then
  1. there will be no effect on its motion
  2. the electron will travel along a circle and its speed remains unchanged
  3. the electron will follow the path of a parabola and its speed will increase
  4. the velocity will increase in magnitude but its direction will remain unchanged.
