An electric field of $1500\, V/m$ and a magnetic field of $0.40\, weber/metre^2$ act on a moving electron. The minimum uniform speed along a straight line the electron could have is
$1.6 \times 10^{15} \,m/s$
$6 \times 10^{-16} \,m/s$
$3.75 \times 10^{3} \,m/s$
$3.75 \times 10^{2} \,m/s$
Solution
When the electron moves in both electric and magnetic fields then :
$\mathrm{q} \mathrm{E}=\mathrm{qvB}$
$\therefore $ $v=$ $\frac{E}{B}-\frac{1500}{0.40}=370\, \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$
$=3.75 \times 10^{3}\, \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$
