The correct answer is:
remains stationary
Force on an electron in an uniform magnetic field is given as
$F=q v B$
Since, the particle is stationary, i.e., $v=0$
$\Rightarrow \quad F=0$
So, the electron remains stationary.
$F=q v B$
Since, the particle is stationary, i.e., $v=0$
$\Rightarrow \quad F=0$
So, the electron remains stationary.
