An electron enters a chamber in which a uniform magnetic field is present as shown below. An electric field of appropriate magnitude is also applied,so that the electron travels undeviated without any change in its speed through the chamber. We are ignoring gravity. Then,the direction of the electric field is

An electron gun is placed inside a long solenoid of radius $R$ on its axis. The solenoid has $n$ turns per unit length and carries a current $I$. The electron gun shoots an electron along the radius of the solenoid with speed $v$. If the electron does not hit the surface of the solenoid,the maximum possible value of $v$ is (all symbols have their standard meaning):

$A$ beam of electrons is moving with constant velocity in a region having electric and magnetic fields of strength $20 \ V m^{-1}$ and $0.5 \ T$ at right angles to the direction of motion of the electrons. What is the velocity of the electrons in $m s^{-1}$?

Consider the mass spectrometer as shown in the figure. The electric field between the plates is $E \ V/m$,and the magnetic field in both the velocity selector and in the deflection chamber has magnitude $B$. Find the radius $r$ for a singly charged ion of mass $m$ in the deflection chamber.

$A$ particle having some charge is projected in the $x-y$ plane with a speed of $5\ m/s$ in a region having a uniform magnetic field along the $z-$ axis. Which of the following cannot be the possible value of velocity at any time?
