An electron projected with velocity $v = v_{0} \hat{i}$ in the electric field $E = E_{0} \hat{j}$ . Trace the path followed by the electron $E_{0}$ .

Options:

Answer:

Solution:

Since, $v = v_{0} \hat{i}$ $E = E_{0} \hat{j}$ The electron is moving in $x$ -direction perpendicular to the electric field which is in $y$ -direction. Thus, the path of electron moving perpendicular to field will be a parabola.
