Question: A proton (or charged particle) moving with velocity v is acted upon by electric field E and magnetic field B. The proton will move undeflected if [MP PMT 1995, 2003; UPSEAT 2002; DPMT 2003]

Options:

A) E is perpendicular to B

B) E is parallel to v and perpendicular to B

C) E, B and v are mutually perpendicular and $ v=\frac{E}{B} $

D) E and B both are parallel to v

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

In this case $ |\overrightarrow{F_{e}}|\ =\ |\overrightarrow{F_{m}}| $ and both forces are opposite to each other.
