Problem

A doubly ionised helium ion (q=+2eq=+2e) travels due north with speed 4.5×105 m s−14.5\times10^{5}\,\text{m s}^{-1} through a region containing a uniform magnetic field of 0.15 T0.15\,\text{T} directed vertically downward. Determine the magnitude and direction of the uniform electric field that must be applied so that the ion passes through the region without deflection.
