An electron is moving along \(+x\) direction with a velocity of \(6 \times 10^{6}\, ms ^{-1}\). It enters a region of uniform electric field of \(300 \,V / cm\) pointing along \(+ y\) direction. The magnitude and direction of the magnetic field set up in this region such that the electron keeps moving along the \(x\) direction will be

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(5 \times 10^{-3} T ,\) along \(+ z\) direction

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\overrightarrow{ B }\) must be in \(+ z\) axis.

\(\overrightarrow{ V }=6 \times 10^{6} \hat{ i }\)

\(\overrightarrow{ E }=300 \hat{ j } V / cm =3 \times 10^{4} V / m\)

\(q \vec{ E }+q \vec{ V } \times \vec{ B }=0\)

\(E = VB\)

\(B =\frac{ E }{ V }=\frac{3 \times 10^{4}}{6 \times 10^{6}}=5 \times 10^{-3} T\)
