Question

An electron is moving along the positive X-axis. You want to apply a magnetic field for a short time so that the electron may reverse its direction and move parallel to the negative X-axis. This can be done by applying the magnetic field along

  1. Y-axis
  2. X-axis
  3. Y-axis only
  4. None of these

The correct answer is: Y-axis


    The electron reverses it’s direction. It can be done by covering semi-circular path in x-z or x-y plane
