In a crossed field, the magnetic field induction is $2.0 \mathrm{~T}$ and electric field intensity is $20 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m}$. At which velocity the electron will travel in a straight line without the effect of electric and magnetic fields?
  1. $\frac{20}{16} \times 10^3 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$
  2. $10 \times\ 10^3\ ms^{-1}$
  3. $20 \times\ 10^3\ ms^{-1}$
  4. $40 \times\ 10^3\ ms^{-1}$

Solution

$e V B=e E$ where, $e=$ electronic charge and $v=$ velocity of electron $\Rightarrow \quad v=\frac{E}{B} v=\frac{20 \times 10^3}{2.0}=10 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$
