- An electron (mass \(9 \times 10^{-31}\) kg and charge \(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\) C) moving with speed \(c/100\) (\(c\) = speed of light) is injected into a magnetic field of magnitude \(9 \times 10^{-4}\) T perpendicular to its direction of motion. We wish to apply a uniform electric field \( \vec{E} \) together with the magnetic field so that the electron does not deflect from its path. (speed of light \(c = 3 \times 10^8\) m/s):
