Q56.A uniform electric field and a uniform magnetic field are acting along the same direction in a certain region. If an electron is projected along the direction of the fields with a certain velocity then (1) its velocity will decrease. (2) its velocity will increase. (3) it will turn towards right of direction of motion. (4) it will turn towards left of direction of motion

What This Question Tests

This question tests the conceptual understanding of the Lorentz force and how its electric and magnetic components act on a charged particle moving parallel to uniform electric and magnetic fields.

Concepts Tested
