The figure shows a velocity selector that can be used to measure the speed of a charged particle. A beam of particles is directed along the axis of the instrument. A parallel plate capacitor sets up an electric field E, which is oriented perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B. If the plates are separated by 2 mm and the value of the magnetic field is 0.6 T, what voltage between the plates will allow particles of speed 5 x 10^5 m/s to pass straight through without deflection? *

A conducting sheet lies in a plane perpendicular to a magnetic field B that is below the sheet. If B oscillates at a high frequency and the conductor is made of a material of low resistivity, the region above the sheet is effectively shielded from B . Explain why.
