The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the speed of charged particles that enter a region with both an electric field and a magnetic field acting perpendicularly to each other, such that the path of the particles remains unchanged. ### Given Data: - Magnetic field, \( B = 5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{Wb/m}^2 \) - Electric field, \( E = 2.5 \times 10^{4} \, \text{V/m} \) - Charge of the particle, \( q = 3.2 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C} \) - Mass of the particle, \( m = 12 \times 10^{-31} \, \text{kg} \) ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Forces Acting on the Particle**: When a charged particle moves in a magnetic field, it experiences a magnetic force given by: \[ F_B = qvB \] where \( v \) is the velocity of the particle. In the presence of an electric field, the particle also experiences an electric force given by: \[ F_E = qE \] 2. **Condition for Unchanged Path**: For the path of the charged particle to remain unchanged, the magnetic force must be equal to the electric force: \[ F_B = F_E \] Therefore, we can set the two forces equal to each other: \[ qvB = qE \] 3. **Cancel the Charge**: Since \( q \) is non-zero, we can divide both sides of the equation by \( q \): \[ vB = E \] 4. **Solve for Velocity \( v \)**: Rearranging the equation gives us the expression for velocity: \[ v = \frac{E}{B} \] 5. **Substitute the Given Values**: Now, we can substitute the values of \( E \) and \( B \): \[ v = \frac{2.5 \times 10^{4} \, \text{V/m}}{5 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{Wb/m}^2} \] 6. **Calculate the Velocity**: Performing the division: \[ v = \frac{2.5 \times 10^{4}}{5 \times 10^{-3}} = 0.5 \times 10^{7} \, \text{m/s} \] 7. **Final Result**: Thus, the speed of the particles is: \[ v = 5 \times 10^{6} \, \text{m/s} \] ### Summary of the Solution: The speed of the charged particles, when their path remains unchanged in the presence of perpendicular electric and magnetic fields, is \( 5 \times 10^{6} \, \text{m/s} \).
