Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(3 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{NC}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The charged particle goes undeflected through both the fields, therefore, force experience by charged particle due magnetic field must be equal to the force experienced by the charge particle due to electric field, i.e., \(F_{m}=F_{e}\)
or \(\quad e v B \sin \theta=e E\)
Given, \(\quad v=2 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
\(\text {and } B =1.5 \mathrm{~T} \)
\( \text {Hence, } \theta =90^{\circ} \)
\( =v B \sin \theta=2 \times 10^{3} \times 1.5 \times \sin 90^{\circ} \)
\( =3 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{v} / \mathrm{m}\)
