Describe a situation in which an electron will be affected by an external electric field but will not be affected by an external

magnetic field. Is it possible that an electron is affected by an external magnetic field but not by an external electric field?

Answer:

Explanation:

Situations in which an electron will be affected by an external electric field but will not be affected by an external magnetic field

a ) When an electron is stationary in the electric field and magnetic field , he will be affected by electric field but not by magnetic field. Magnetic field can exert force only on mobile charges.

b ) When the electron is moving parallel to electric field and magnetic field . In this case also electric field will  exert force on electron but magnetic field field will not exert force on electrons . Magnetic field can exert force only on the perpendicular component of the velocity of charged particles.

Situations when electron is affected by an external magnetic field but not by an external electric field

There is no such situation in which electric field will not affect an electron . It will always affect an electron .

How do two sublevels of the same principal energy level differ from each other
Colt1911 [192]

Each energy sublevel corresponds to an orbital of a different shape.

Explanation:

Two sublevels of the same principal energy level differs from each other if the sublevels corrresponds to an orbital of a different shape.

  • The principal quantum number of an atom represents the main energy level in which the orbital is located or the distance of an orbital from the nucleus. It takes values of n = 1,2,3,4 et.c
  • The secondary quantum number gives the shape of the orbitals in subshells accommodating electrons.
  • The number of possible shapes is limited  by the principal quantum numbers.

Take for example, Carbon:

                      1s² 2s² 2p²

   The second energy level is 2 but with two different sublevels of s and p. They have different shapes. S is spherical and P is dumb-bell shaped .
