JEE MAIN - Physics (2020 - 6th September Morning Slot - No. 11)

An electron is moving along +x direction with a velocity of 6 $$ \times $$ 106 ms–1. It enters a region of uniform electric field of 300 V/cm pointing along +y direction. The magnitude and direction of the magnetic field set up in this region such that the electron keeps moving along the x direction will be :
3 $$ \times $$ 10–4 T, along –z direction
5 $$ \times $$ 10–3 T, along –z direction
5 $$ \times $$ 10–3 T, along +z direction
3 $$ \times $$ 10–4 T, along +z direction

Explanation

JEE Main 2020 (Online) 6th September Morning Slot Physics - Magnetic Effect of Current Question 127 English Explanation

$$\overrightarrow B $$ must be in +z axis.

$$\overrightarrow V = 6 \times {10^6}\widehat i$$

$$\overrightarrow E = 300\widehat j$$ V/cm = 3 $$ \times $$ 104 $$\widehat j$$ V/m

$$\overrightarrow F $$ = $$q\overrightarrow E + q\overrightarrow V \times \overrightarrow B $$

$$ \therefore $$ $$q\overrightarrow E + q\overrightarrow V \times \overrightarrow B $$ = 0

$$ \Rightarrow $$qE = qVB

$$ \Rightarrow $$ B = $${E \over V}$$ = $${{3 \times {{10}^4}} \over {6 \times {{10}^6}}}$$ = 5 $$ \times $$ 10–3 T
