Question

An electron moves at a speed of 3.0x107 m/s straight through a region of uniform magnetic field. No deflection from this straight path is observed.

melectron=9.1×10−31kg 

qelectron=−1.6×10−19C

  1. Determine the magnitude and direction of the B-field such that the electron travels in a perfectly straight line. Clearly show all steps, starting from generalized equations. Explain your mathematical work in words. Your explanation should cover both what you did and the thought process behind why you did that.
  2. Evaluate your answer to determine whether it is reasonable or not. Consider all aspects of your answer (the numerical value, sign, and units) in your evaluation.
