CAPE Physics Unit 2 · 2013 · Paper 2 · Question 4(b)(ii)a)

Figure 4 shows a long horizontal solenoid with 1000 turns per metre carrying a 10 A current, with an electron beam entering through a tiny hole.

Explain the effect on the electron's horizontal velocity component, resulting from its interaction with the B-field.
