An electron moves through a region of crossed electric and magnetic fields. The electric field E = 2560 V/m and is directed straight down. The magnetic field B = 0.80 T and is directed to the left. For what velocity v (in m/s) of the electron into the paper will the electric force exactly cancel the magnetic force?
