Question
An electron travelling west to east enters a chamber having a uniform electrostatic field in north to south direction. Specify the direction in which a uniform magnetic field should be set up to prevent the electron from deflecting from its straight line path.
Solution
An electron travelling from West to East enters a chamber having a uniform electrostatic field in the North-South direction. This moving electron can remain undeflected if the electric force acting on it is equal and opposite of the magnetic field. Magnetic force is directed towards the South. According to Fleming’s left-hand rule, a magnetic field should be applied in a vertically downward direction.
