Q20.A particle of charge 16 × 10−16C moving with velocity 10 ms−1 along x-axis enters a region where magnetic field of induction →B is along the y-axis and an electric field of magnitude 104Vm−1 is along the negative z- axis. If the charged particle continues moving along x-axis, the magnitude of →B is : (1) 16 × 103 Wb m−2 (2) 2 × 103 Wb m−2 (3) 1 × 103 Wb m−2 (4) 4 × 103 Wb m−2

What This Question Tests

The question tests the application of the Lorentz force law for a charged particle moving in combined electric and magnetic fields, specifically the condition for un-deflected motion (velocity selector principle).

Concepts Tested

Lorentz forceVelocity selector (crossed fields)

Formulas Used

F_E = qE

F_B = q(v x B)

F_net = F_E + F_B
