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

A

its velocity will increase

B

its velocity will decrease

C

it will turn towards left of direction of motion

D

it will turn towards right of direction of motion

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Due to electric field , it experiences force and decelerates i.e. its velocity decreases .
