Questions  

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

a
50 m/s
b
2 m/s
c
0 . 5 cm/s
d
200 m/s

detailed solution

Correct option is A

v=EB=1 volt /cm2 tesla =100V/m2 tesla =50m/s
