Practicing Success
An electron is shot in a steady electric and magnetic field such that its velocity is V. and electric field E and magnetic field B are mutually perpendicular with magnitudes 1 volt/cm and 2 tesla respectively. What is the velocity of the electron if the Lorentz (Magnetic) force cancels with the electrostatic force on the electron? |
