An electron (mass and charge ) moving with speed ( = speed of light) is injected into a magnetic field of magnitude perpendicular to its direction of motion. We wish to apply a uniform electric field together with the magnetic field so that the electron does not deflect from its path. Then (speed of light ):
- Ais perpendicular to and its magnitude is
- Bis perpendicular to and its magnitude is
- Cis parallel to and its magnitude is
- Dis parallel to and its magnitude is
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
This implies must be perpendicular to both and .The magnitude is .Given ..
is perpendicular to .
