### Educational Problem: Electron Beam in Electric and Magnetic Fields

**Problem Statement:**
An electron beam is directed horizontally into a region where there is both an electric field and a magnetic field. The electric field points upward and has a magnitude \( E = 9.4 \, \text{N/C} \), as shown in the accompanying diagram. While moving through the region, the electron beam continues in a horizontal straight line with a speed of \( 210 \, \text{m/s} \).

#### Diagram Explanation:

The diagram shows:
- The electric field \(\vec{E}\) represented by upward arrows.
- An electron beam moving horizontally from left to right.

---

#### (a) In which direction does the electric force act on the electrons?

**Answer:** 
*Downward.* ✔ Correct!

#### (b) In order to keep the electrons in a straight line, in which direction should the magnetic force on the electrons act?

**Answer:**
*Upward.* ✔ Correct!

#### (c) What should be the direction of the magnetic field be in order to produce the force described in part (b)?

**Answer:**
*Into the screen.* ✔ Correct!

---

### Further Calculations:

#### (d) Calculate the numerical value of the magnitude of the electric force in newtons.

The formula for the electric force \( F_{E} \) is:
\[ F_{E} = qE \]
where:
- \( q \) is the charge of an electron (\( q = -1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, \text{C} \)).
- \( E \) is the magnitude of the electric field (\( 9.4 \, \text{N/C} \)).

#### (e) Calculate the magnitude of the magnetic field in tesla, if the electron continues in a horizontal straight line.

The formula for the magnetic force \( F_{B} \) is:
\[ F_{B} = qvB \]
where:
- \( v \) is the velocity of the electron (\( 210 \, \text{m/s} \)).
- \( B \) is the magnitude of the magnetic field.

Since the forces are balanced (i.e., \( F_{E} = F_{B} \)):
\[ qE = qvB \]

Solving for \( B \):
\[ B = \frac{E}{v} \]
