Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: 9. (d)
Solution:
- Magnetic force does not change the speed of charged particle. Hence,
. Further magnetic field on the electron in the given condition is along negative -axis in the starting. Or it describes a circular path in clockwise direction. Hence, when it exits from the field, .
