what is the background force for the motion of electron?
is any other sub atomic particle can move? if no why?

Electric fields can accelerate electrons. All sub-atomic particles can move.Swetha.M.L said:what is the background force for the motion of electron?

By "spinning" I guess you mean the electron spin, which is an intrinsic angular momentum and can't be considered as "motion." Otherwise, electrons can move any which way. A good example can be found in a cathode ray tube.Swetha.M.L said:electron have two type of motion spinning and rotation .
All particles can move, and external fields are not necessary, collisions for instance can do the trick. At any instant, billions of neutrinos from the Sun are passing through your body. In particles accelerators and in the high atmosphere, fundamental particles are being created all the time and travel a while before decaying or hitting something.Swetha.M.L said:is any other sub atomic particle can move without the appliction of an external field?

The background force that affects the motion of an electron is the electric force, which is caused by the interaction between the negatively charged electron and positively charged particles in its surroundings. This force can either attract or repel the electron, depending on the charges involved.
In the presence of a magnetic field, the motion of an electron changes due to the Lorentz force. This force is perpendicular to both the direction of motion and the direction of the magnetic field, causing the electron to move in a circular or helical path.
Yes, other particles such as protons, neutrons, and other charged particles can also affect the motion of an electron through electromagnetic interactions. These interactions can either attract or repel the electron, altering its trajectory.
The energy of an electron is directly related to its motion, as described by the kinetic energy equation (KE = 1/2 mv^2). An increase in energy will result in an increase in the electron's velocity and therefore its motion. Additionally, the energy level of the electron can also influence its behavior, such as determining its location in an atom or its ability to be excited to a higher energy state.
While the behavior of an individual electron can be described using quantum mechanics, it is impossible to fully predict and control the motion of an electron due to its probabilistic nature. However, the collective behavior of a large number of electrons can be predicted and controlled, leading to the development of technologies such as transistors and computer chips.
