Question

An electron is projected along the axis of a circular conductor carrying some current. Electron ______

Options

• will experience force along the axis.

• will experience a force perpendicular to the axis.

• will experience a force at an angle of 45° with the axis.

• will experience no force.

Answer 1

An electron is projected along the axis of a circular conductor carrying some current. The electron will experience no force.

Explanation:

Because the magnetic field along the circular current-carrying conductor is parallel to the conductor's axis, the force experienced by the electron is zero.
