Find the condition under which the charged particles moving with different speeds in the presence of electric and magnetic field vectors can be used to select charged particles of a particular speed.

Answer»

SOLUTION :As the charged particle finally moves undeviated along the x-axis only, it means that force due to ELECTRIC field and force due to magnetic field are just equal and OPPOSITE and are nullifying each other i.e.,
`q vecE + q vecv xx vecB = vec0 "or" qE = qvB implies B = E/v`
It is possible only when `vecB` is along the z-axis. thus, PARTICLES, POSSESSING a particular speed .v. only will move undeviated under the influence of a pair of crossed electric and magnetic fields.
