Learn how a velocity selector works with magnetic and electric fields to manipulate electron motion. Solve for magnitude and direction.
E N D
A velocity selector consists of magnetic and electric fields. The magnetic field is described by the expression . If B = 0.015 T find the magnitude and direction of such that an electron with 750 eV kinetic energy moves along the positive x-axis undeflected. B FB y v must be in the +z direction, so must be in the –z direction (because the charge on the electron is negative. must be in the +z direction, so must be in the –z direction (because the charge on the electron is negative.
