Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(192\, k\,Vm ^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\overrightarrow{ E }= E \hat{ k } B =12 mT\)

\(\overrightarrow{ B }= B \hat{ j } \text { Energy }=728\,eV\)

Energy \(=\frac{1}{2} mv ^{2}\)

\(728\,eV =\frac{1}{2} \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v ^{2}\)

\(728 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}=\frac{1}{2} \times 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \times v ^{2}\)

\(v =16 \times 10^{6} m / s\)

\(E=v B\)

\(E =16 \times 10^{6} \times 12 \times 10^{-3}\)

\(E =192 \times 10^{3}\,V / m\)
