A charged particle is released from rest...

A charged particle is released from rest in a region of steady and uniform electric and magnetic fields which are parallel to each other . What will be the nature of the path followed by the charged particle?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The magnetic field has no effect on the motion or path of the charged particle because particle will move parallel to magnetic field.
As the particle is released from rest, so it will move along the direction of electric field.
