The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we need to understand the conditions under which the electron beam remains undeflected while passing through the electric and magnetic fields. ### Step 1: Understand the Forces Acting on the Electron When an electron moves through an electric field (E) and a magnetic field (B) simultaneously, it experiences two forces: 1. Electric Force (F_E) = qE 2. Magnetic Force (F_B) = q(v × B) For the electron beam to remain undeflected, these two forces must be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction: \[ F_E = F_B \] ### Step 2: Set Up the Equation Since the forces are equal, we can write: \[ qE = qvB \] Here, q is the charge of the electron, E is the electric field strength, v is the speed of the electron, and B is the magnetic field strength. ### Step 3: Cancel the Charge Since the charge (q) appears on both sides of the equation, we can cancel it out (assuming it is non-zero): \[ E = vB \] ### Step 4: Solve for the Speed of the Electron (v) Rearranging the equation gives us: \[ v = \frac{E}{B} \] ### Step 5: Substitute the Given Values Now we substitute the given values for the electric field (E) and the magnetic field (B): - E = \( 3.2 \times 10^4 \, \text{V/m} \) - B = \( 2 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{Wb/m}^2 \) Substituting these values into the equation: \[ v = \frac{3.2 \times 10^4}{2 \times 10^{-3}} \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Speed Now, perform the calculation: \[ v = \frac{3.2 \times 10^4}{2 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{3.2}{2} \times 10^{4 + 3} = 1.6 \times 10^6 \, \text{m/s} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the speed of the electron is: \[ v = 1.6 \times 10^6 \, \text{m/s} \] ---
