    A beam of electrons passes undeflected through mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields. If the electric field is switched off, and the same magnetic field is maintained, the electrons move:

    A)  in an elliptical orbit

    B)  in a circular orbit

    C)  along a parabolic path

    D)  along a straight line

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     If beam of electrons passes undeflected, then force due to electric field should be balanced with force due to magnetic fields\[{{F}_{4}}={{F}_{m}}\]. But if electric field becomes zero, then only force due to magnetic field exists. Under this force, the charge moves along a circle.
