Problem

17. A positively charged particle of mass M is at rest on a table. A non-zero electric field E is directed into the plane of the table. A non-zero magnetic field B is directed out of the plane of the table. What is true about the magnitude of the electric force on the particle

\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{E}}

compared to the magnetic force on the particle

\mathrm{F}_{\mathrm{B}}

? A)

F_{E}>F_{B}

F_{E}<F_{B}

F_{E}=F_{B}

D) It cannot be determined without knowing the exact value of the charge of the particle
