An electron moving with a velocity v= 5.0 × 107 m/s i enters a region of space where perpendicular electric and a magnetic fields are present. The electric field is E= 104 V/m j. What magnetic field will allow the electron to go through the region without being deflected?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The magnetic field that will allow the electron to go through the region without being deflected is [tex]2\times 10^{-4}\ T[/tex].

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity of the electron, [tex]v=5\times 10^7\ m/s[/tex]

Electric field, [tex]E=10^4\ V/m\ j[/tex]

We need to find the magnetic field that will allow the electron to go through the region without being deflected. It can be calculated as :

[tex]qE=qvB\ \sin\theta[/tex]

Here, [tex]\sin\theta=90^{\circ}[/tex]

[tex]E=vB\\\\B=\dfrac{E}{v}\\\\B=\dfrac{10^4}{5\times 10^7}\\\\B=2\times 10^{-4}\ T[/tex]

So, the magnetic field that will allow the electron to go through the region without being deflected is [tex]2\times 10^{-4}\ T[/tex].
