An electron moving with a velocity = 5.0 × 10 7 m/s enters a region of space where perpendicular electric and a magnetic fields are present. The electric field is = . What magnetic field will allow the electron to go through the region without being deflected?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The magnetic field is [tex]2 \times 10^{-4}[/tex] T

Explanation:

Given:

Velocity of electron [tex]v = 5 \times 10^{7} \frac{m}{s}[/tex]

Electric field [tex]E = 10^{4} \frac{V}{m}[/tex]

The force on electron in magnetic field is given by,

 [tex]F = qvB \sin \theta[/tex]                      ......(1)

The force on electron in electric field is given by,

 [tex]F = qE[/tex]                               ......(2)

Compare both equation,

   [tex]qE = qvB \sin \theta[/tex]

Here [tex]\sin \theta = 1[/tex]

  [tex]E = vB[/tex]

  [tex]B= \frac{E}{v}[/tex]

  [tex]B = \frac{10^{4} }{5 \times 10^{7} }[/tex]

  [tex]B = 2 \times 10^{-4}[/tex] T

Therefore, the magnetic field is [tex]2 \times 10^{-4}[/tex] T
