A particle having a mass of 10^{-2}kg carries a charge of 5\times 10^{-8} C. The particle is given an initial horozontal velocity of 10^{-5} ms^{-1} in the presence of electric field \vec{E} and magnetic field \vec{B}. To keep the particle moving in a horizontal direction, it is necesary that

(1) \vec{B} should be prependicular to the  direction of velocity and \vec{E} should be along the direction of velocity.

(2) Both \vec{B} and \vec{E} should be along  the direction of velocity.

(3) Both \vec{B} and \vec{E} are mutually prependicular and prependicular to the direction of velocity.

(4) \vec{B} should be along the direction of velocity and \vec{E} should be prependicular to the direction of velocity.

Lorentz Force -

underset{F}{
ightarrow}= q [underset{E}{
ightarrow}+(underset{V}{
ightarrow}	imes underset{B}{
ightarrow})]

- wherein

Lorentz equation 

 

 

For particle to move along a horizontal direction either net force is zero or force is along direction of valocity. This can happen when 

either

Both  \vec{B} and \vec{E}  should be along direction of valocity and 

Both  \vec{B}  and \vec{E}  are mutually prependicular and prependicular to the direction of valocity.

such that E = VB
