Question

A beam of protons is moving in the +x direction with a speed of 23.2 km/s through a region in which the electric field is perpendicular to the magnetic field. The beam is not deflected in this region. If the magnetic field has a magnitude of 0.188 T and points in the +z direction, what is the magnitude of the electric field?

What is the direction of the electric field?

Would electrons that have the same velocity as the protons be deflected by these fields? If so, in what direction would they be deflected

Explanation / Answer

apply E = Bc

so E = 0.188 * 23.2*1000

E = 4.362*10^3 V/m

b. + y direction

c. yes velcotiy will be same but driection is opposite to thet of the prev case i.e -y direction
