    The electron moves with constant velocity without deflection. Hence, force due to magnetic field is equal and opposite to force due to electric field. ​ 

    qvB = qE ⇒ v =

    When the deflection produced by electric field is equal to the deflection produced by magnetic field, then the electron can go undeflected.

    Correct Option: D

    When the deflection produced by electric field is equal to the deflection produced by magnetic field, then the electron can go undeflected.


  1. Two identical long conducting wires AOB and COD are placed at right angle to each other, with one above other such that ‘O’ is their common point for the two. The wires carry I1 and I2 currents respectively. Point ‘P’ is lying at distance ‘d’ from ‘O’ along a direction perpendicular to the plane containing the wires. The magnetic field at the point ‘P’ will be :
