A beam of electrons is moving with constant velocity in a region having simultaneous perpendicular electric and magnetic fields of strength 20 Vm -1 and 0.5 T respectively at right angles to the direction of motion of the electrons. Then the velocity of electrons must be (a) 8 m/s (b) 20 m/s (c) 40 m/s (d) 1 m/s

(c)

As electron move with constant velocity without deflection. Hence, force due to magnetic field is equal and opposite to force due to electric field.
