Question

. An electron beam is shot into a region where there is both an electric field E~ pointing upward (shown in the
figure below), and an unknown magnetic field B~ . While moving through this region the electron beam stays
in a straight line with a velocity of v = 20 m/s. The electric field has a magnitude of E = 1.5 N/C.


(a) What is the magnitude and direction of the electric force acting on the electrons in the beam?


(b) What is the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field?
