e/m ratio for an electron in electric and magnetic field is

Correct answer: B. E/(B2r)

  • A. e/m =B r/E
  • B. E/(B2r)
  • C. E2/rB2
  • D. B2/Er

Explanation

The currently accepted value for e/m is 1.758820 × 1011 C/kg. When an electron enters a region in which there is a uniform magnetic field, B, perpendicular to the velocity, v, of the electron (Caution: The capital letter V will be used below to represent voltage.

About Charged Particle in a Magnetic Field

A charged particle moving through a magnetic field experiences the Lorentz force, which is perpendicular to both its velocity and the field. The motion may be circular or helical, with questions involving radius, angular frequency, time period, and work done. A stationary charge feels no magnetic force.
