Question
An electron moves through a region of crossed electric and magnetic fields. The electric field E = 3059 V/m and is directed straight down. The magnetic field B = 1.14 T and is directed to the left. For what velocity v of the electron into the paper will the electric force exactly cancel the magnetic force?

Answer:
v = 2683.33 m/s
Explanation:
The magnetic force and the electric force on the electron must be the same, in order for them to cancel each other:
where,
v = velcoity of electron = ?
E = Electric Field = 3059 V/m
B = Magnetic Field = 1.14 T
θ = Angle between velocity and magnetic field = 90°
Therefore,
v = 2683.33 m/s
