An electron is shot in a steady electric and magnetic field such that its velocity is V. Electric field E and magnetic field B are mutually perpendicular. The magnitude of E is 1volt/cm and that of B is 2tesla. Now it happens that the Lorentz (Magnetic) force cancels with the electrostatic force on the electron , then the velocity of the electron is:
2cms−1
50ms−1
0.5cms−1
200ms−1
A
2cms−1
B
50ms−1
C
0.5cms−1
D
200ms−1
