Top Questions on Electric Field
- An electron (mass \(9 \times 10^{-31}\) kg and charge \(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\) C) moving with speed \(c/100\) (\(c\) = speed of light) is injected into a magnetic field of magnitude \(9 \times 10^{-4}\) T perpendicular to its direction of motion. We wish to apply a uniform electric field \( \vec{E} \) together with the magnetic field so that the electron does not deflect from its path. (speed of light \(c = 3 \times 10^8\) m/s):

Concepts Used:
Electric Field
Electric Field is the electric force experienced by a unit charge.
The electric force is calculated using the coulomb's law, whose formula is:
\(F=k\dfrac{|q_{1}q_{2}|}{r^{2}}\)
While substituting q2 as 1, electric field becomes:
\(E=k\dfrac{|q_{1}|}{r^{2}}\)
SI unit of Electric Field is V/m (Volt per meter).
