1984B4. An electron from a hot filament in a cathode ray tube is accelerated through a potential difference ε\boldsymbol{\varepsilon}. It then passes into a region of uniform magnetic field B , directed into the page as shown. The mass of the electron is m and the charge has magnitude e. a. Find the potential difference ε\boldsymbol{\varepsilon} necessary to give the electron a speed v as it enters the magnetic field. b. On the diagram, sketch the path of the electron in the magnetic field. e. In terms of mass m , speed v , charge e, and field strength B , develop an expression for r , the radius of the circular path of the electron. d. An electric field E is now established in the same region as the magnetic field, so that the electron passes through the region undeflected. i. Determine the magnitude of E . ii. Indicate the direction of E on the diagram ![](https://storage.googleapis.com/diraq-contents/question-bank/question-images/b4111eb418a5/2025_11_20_a06764ffad9cea2721f0g-20.jpg)
