An electron accelerated by a potential difference V 3 6 V first enters a region of uniform electric field of a parallel plate capacitor whose plates extend over a length 6 cm in the direction of initial velocity The electric field is normal to the direction of initial velocity as shown in figure and its strength varies with time as E ax t where a 3200 Vm s Then the electron enters a region of uniform magnetic field of induction B x10T Direction of magnetic field is same as that of the electric field Mass of electron m 9 x 10 31 kg e 1 6 10 1 C Neglect the effect of induced magnetic field e m Vor HIL B Path followed by the electron while moving in electric field is parabolic Path followed by the electron while moving in magnetic field is helical Pitch of holical path of ploctran is 9 mm
