A velocity selector consists of electric field E→=E k^ and magnetic field B→=B j^ with B=12 mT. The value E required for an electron of energy 728eV moving along the positive x-axis to pass undeflected is 

(Given, mass of electron =9.1×10-31 kg)

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

Fiven that E→=Ek^ and B→=12 j^ mT

Kinetic energy=728 eV

Kinetic energy =12mv2

⇒728 eV=12×9.1×10-31×v2

⇒728×1.6×10-19=12×9.1×10-31×v2

⇒v=16×106 m s-1

For electron to move undeflected net force on it should be zero.

⇒eE=evB

⇒E=vB=16×106×12×10-3

⇒E=192×103 V m-1=192 kV m-1
