An electric field of 1.27 kV/m and a magnetic field of 0.490 T act on a moving electron to produce no net force. If the fields are perpendicular to each other, what is the electron's speed

Respuesta :

Answer:

v = 2591.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The electric field is 1.27 kV/m and the magnetic field is 0.49 T. We need to find the electron's speed if the fields are perpendicular to each other. The magnetic force is balanced by the electric force such that,

[tex]qE=qvB\\\\v=\dfrac{E}{B}\\\\v=\dfrac{1.27\times 10^3}{0.49}\\\\v=2591.83\ m/s[/tex]

So, the speed of the electron is 2591.83 m/s.
