A proton and an electron are placed in a uniform electric field.

If a charged particle at rest experiences no electromagnetic force, then electric field in that region

Assertion : When a test charge is released in a uniform electric field, then it will moves along the fixed line passing through that point. Reason : The tangent at a point on the electric field gives the direction of the electric field at that point.

A conducting wire of length l, lying normal to a magnetic field B, moves with a velocity v as shown in (a) Find the average magnetic fore on a free electron of the wire. Due to this magnetic force, electrons concentrate at one end resulting in an electric field inside the wire. The redistribution stops when the electric force on the free electrons balances themagnetic force. Find the electric field developed inside the wire when the redistribution field developed inside the wire when the redistribution stops. (c) what potential difference is developed between the ends of the wire?
