MCQ
In a region, steady and uniform electric and magnetic fields are present. These two fields are parallel to each other. A charged particle is released from rest in this region. The path of the particle will be a
  • A
    Circle
  • B
    Helix
  • Straight line
  • D
    Ellipse

Answer

Correct option: C.
Straight line
c
The charged particle will move along the lines of electric field ( and magnetic field). Magnetic field will exert no force. The force by electric field will be along the lines of uniform electric field. Hence the particle will move in a straight line
