Motion in combined electric and magnetic fields
Motion of a charged particles in combined electric and magnetic field is given by
`vecF = q (vecE + vec v xx vec B) or vec F = q vec E + q ( vec v xx vec B)or vec F = vec F _(E) + vec F _(B)`
When `F _(E) = F _(B) implies | q vec E| = q | vec v xx vec B|`
`qE = qv B sin 90^(@) ` [Taking `theta = 90 ^(@)`]
`implies v = (E)/(B)`
