    A beam of cathode rays is subjected to crossed Electric (X) and Magnetic fields (B). The fields are adjusted such that the beam is not deflected. The specific charge of the cathode rays is given by (where V is the potential difference between cathod and anode)

    A) \[\frac{{{B}^{2}}}{2V{{E}^{2}}}\]               

    B)        \[\frac{2V{{B}^{2}}}{{{E}^{2}}}\]               

    C)        \[\frac{2V{{E}^{2}}}{{{B}^{2}}}\]               

    D)        \[\frac{2{{E}^{2}}}{2V{{B}^{2}}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    As the electron beam is not deflected, then         \[{{F}_{m}}={{F}_{e}}\]                 or            \[Bev=Ee\]         or            \[v=\frac{E}{B}\]              ?(i) As the electron moves from cathode to anode, its potential energy at the cathode appears as its kinetic energy at the anode. If V is the potential difference between the anode and cathode, then potential energy of the electron at cathode = eV. Also, kinetic energy of the electron at anode \[v=\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}.\]According to law of conservation of energy \[\frac{1}{2}m{{v}^{2}}=eV\]      or            \[v=\sqrt{\frac{2eV}{m}}\]          ?(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have \[\sqrt{\frac{2eV}{m}}=\frac{E}{B}\]       or            \[\frac{e}{m}=\frac{{{E}_{2}}}{2V{{B}^{2}}}\]
