A stream of electrons is projected horizontally to the right. A straight conductor carrying a current is supported parallel to the electron steam and above it. If the current in the conductor is from left to right, what will be the effect on the electron stream?

Options

A. The electron stream will be pulled upward
B. The electron stream will be pulled downward
C. The electron stream will be retarded
D. The electron beam will be speeded up towards the right

Answer

B

Explanation

Since, current is in same direction of electron stream. Hence the force applied on electron stream will be downward.
