Correct answer: 2
- Condition for undeflected motion in crossed fields
For a charged particle to move undeflected in crossed electric and magnetic fields,
So,
- When electric field is switched off
Now only the magnetic field acts, so the proton moves in a circular path.
Magnetic force provides the centripetal force:
Cancelling :
Hence,
- Substitute given values
Given:
So,
Thus,
- Now calculate electric field
Using
Given that
we get
- Comparison with stored answer
Derived answer:
Stored correct answer:
They match.
