When the electron is moving in the plane of the page in the direction indicated by the arrow, the force on the electron is directed:_____

a. into the page.
b. toward the left
c. toward the right
d. toward the bottom of the page.
e. toward the top of the page.
f. out of the page.

Respuesta :

Answer: F

Out of the page.

Explanation:

For an electron with a charge of -e, the magnitude of the force on it is F = BeV

Where

F = force on the electron

e = charge ( electrons )

V = velocity

B = magnetic field

F is the force acting on all the electrons in a wire which gives rise to the F = BIL

Where

I = current

L = length of the wire

The force F is always at the right angle to the particle's velocity and its direction can be found using the left hand rule.

When the electron is moving in the plane of the page in the direction indicated by the arrow, the force on the electron is directed out of the page.
