An electron is moving along +x direction with a velocity of 6 × 106 ms–1. It enters a region of uniform electric field of 300 V/cm pointing along +y direction. The magnitude and direction of the magnetic field set up in this region such that the electron keeps moving along the x-direction will be :

(1) 5 × 10–3T, along + z-direction

(2) 3 × 10–4T, along +z direction

(3) 3 × 10–4 T, along –z-direction

(4) 5 × 10–3 T, along –z-direction

(1) 5 × 10–3T, along + z-direction

Explanation:

qVB = qE

B = E/V = 30000/6 x 106 = 5 x 103

Magnetic force F = q(V x B)

So, 5 × 103 T, along +Z direction
