An electron is moving with initial velocity in a magnetic field . Its de-Broglie wavelength will

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

The magnetic force acting on a moving charge is given by .

Since the magnetic force is always perpendicular to the velocity vector, the work done by the magnetic field on the electron is zero.

According to the work-energy theorem, the kinetic energy of the electron remains constant, which implies its speed remains constant.

The de-Broglie wavelength is given by .

Since the speed is constant, the de-Broglie wavelength of the electron remains constant.

Answer: remains constant.
