An electron enters in an electric field ...

An electron enters in an electric field with its velocity in the direction of the electric lines of force. Then

A

The path of the electron will be a circle

B

The path of the electron will be a parabola

C

The velocity of the electron will decrease

D

The velocity of the electron will increase

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Because electric field applies the force on electron in the direction opposite to its motion.
