Questions  

An electron moving with a speed u along the positive x-axis at y = 0 enters a region of uniform magnetic field which exists to the right of y-axis. The electron exits from the region after some time with the speed v at coordinate y, then

 

a
v > u, y < 0
b
v = u, y >0
c
v > u, y > 0
d
v = u, y < 0

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Magnetic force does not change the speed of charged particle.Hence, v = u. Further magnetic field on the electron in the given condition is along negative y-axis in the starting. Or it describes a circular path in clockwise direction. Hence, when it exits from the field, y < 0
