Q.

An electron is shot in steady electric and magnetic fields such that its velocity v, electric field E and magnetic field B are mutually perpendicular. The magnitude of E is 1volt/ cm and that of B is 2 tesla. Now it so happens that the Lorentz (magnetic) force cancels the electrostatic force on the electron, then the velocity of electron is
