A beam of well collimated cathode rays travelling with a speed of $5 \times {10^6}\,m{s^{ - 1}}$ enter a region of mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields and emerge undeviated from this region. If $| B |=0.02\; T$, the magnitude of the electric field is

A

${10^5}\,V{m^{ - 1}}$

B

$2.5 \times {10^8}\,V{m^{ - 1}}$

C

$1.25 \times {10^{10}}\,V{m^{ - 1}}$

D

$2 \times {10^3}\,V{m^{ - 1}}$

Solution

(a) Using $eE = evB$

$ \Rightarrow E = vB = 5 \times {10^6} \times 0.02 = {10^5}\,V{m^{ – 1}}$
