Magnetic Effects Of Current Question 395

Question: A beam of electrons is moving with constant velocity in a region having simultaneous perpendicular electric and magnetic fields of strength $ 20,V{{m}^{-1}} $ and 0.5 T respectively at right angles to the direction of motion of the electrons. Then the velocity of electrons must be

Options:

A) $ 8,m/s $

B) $ 20,m/s $

C) $ 40,m/s $

D) $ \frac{1}{40},m/s $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

[c] The electron moves with constant velocity without deflection. -Hence, force due to magnetic field is equal and opposite to force due to electric field.
