Moving Charges And Magnetism Ques 11
11. In a certain region of space electric field $\vec{E}$ and magnetic field $\vec{B}$ are perpendicular to each other and an electron enters in region perpendicular to the direction of $\vec{B}$ and $\vec{E}$ both and moves undeflected, then velocity of electron is

Answer:
Correct Answer: 11.(a)
Solution:
- (a) Electron moves undeflected if force exerted due to electric field is equal to force due to magnetic field.
$q|\vec{v} || \vec{B}|=q|\vec{E}| \Rightarrow|\vec{v}|=\frac{|\vec{E}|}{|\vec{B}|}$
