Question #c2b2d

Answer 1

From Lorentz force Equation we know that total force `vec F` experienced by a charged particle, having charge `q` and velocity `vec v`, in an electric field `vecE` and magnetic field `vecB` is

`vecF=q(vecE+vecvxxvecB)`

In this case, the electron of charge `e` is stationary in a magnetic field. There is no electric field. As such first term vanishes.
Also we have `vecv=0`. Consequently the cross product of vectors velocity and magnetic field becomes `0`.
We have
`vecF=e(0xxvecB)`
`vecF=0.`

In the absence of any force stationary electron remains stationary.
