Question
An ionised gas contains both positive and negative ions. If it is subjected simultaneously to an electric field along the +ve x-axis and a magnetic field along the +z direction then
Answer: Option C
:
C
As the electric field is switched on, positive ion will start to move along positive x-direction and negative ion along negative x-direction. Current associated with motion of both types of ions is along positive x-direction. According to Flemings left hand rule or right hand thumb rule, force on both types of ions will be along negative y-direction
