    Electron beam is allowed to pass normally through mutually perpendicular electric field and magnetic field. If magnetic field induction and electric field strength are 0.0005 \[Wb/{{m}^{2}}\]and 4000 V/m respectively, then the beam suffers no deflection. The velocity of electron will be :

    A)  \[16\times {{10}^{8}}m/s\]  

    B)  \[8.0\times {{10}^{6}}m/s\]

    C)  \[4.0\times {{10}^{6}}m/s\]  

    D)  none of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: For no deflection magnetic force should equal electric force. The magnetic force acting on the electron beam is \[F=qvB\sin \theta \] ... (i) where \[q=e\] and \[\sin {{90}^{o}}=1\] The electric force acting on the electron is \[F=eE\] ... (ii) For no deflection. Electric force = magnetic force \[eE=evB\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[v=\frac{E}{B}=\frac{400}{0.0005}=8\times {{10}^{6}}m/s\].
