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 .

stellarik [79]

Answer:

0.243 m/s

Explanation:

From law of conservation of motion,

mu+m'u' = V(m+m')................. Equation 1

Where m = mass of the first car, m' = mass of the second car, initial velocity of the first car, u' = initial velocity of the second car, V = Final velocity of both cars.

make V the subject of the equation

V = (mu+m'u')/(m+m')................. Equation 2

Given: m = 260000 kg, u = 0.32 m/s, m' = 52500 kg, u' = -0.14 m/s

Substitute into equation 2

V = (260000×0.32+52500×(-0.14))/(260000+52500)

V = (83200-7350)/312500

V = 75850/312500

V = 0.243 m/s

Light rays bend as they pass from air into
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

4

Explanation:

Refraction is the bending of light when it moves from one medium to another.

In the situation described:

  • The average speed of light changes when it goes to another medium. The speed of light in water is less than in air.
  • When velocity/speed changes, the index of refraction changes as well. Water's index is greater than in air.
  • Since, speed changes, wavelength changes too.
  • Only the frequency remains the same. The rates of vibration stays the same.

Correct choice is #4.
